The X-Files portrayed a world full of government conspiracy, unsolved mysteries, and paranormal phenomena that didn't align with rational perceptions. Shapeshifters, telekinesis, extraterrestrials, cryptids, urban legends, ghosts, Native American lore, and much, much more all came together to make the X-Files what it was. Nothing made sense. Answers were rare. And we loved it. “I want to believe,” was a core sentiment of the show and its viewers that came from an iconic item on the show: the UFO poster that hung behind the Special Agent Fox Mulder's desk in his basement office. When The X-Files became a hit in the mid-’90s, replicas of the poster were found on the bedroom wall of every self-respecting X-Phile as it was a special link to the show and Mulder’s hopeful yet tortured conviction that the truth was out there, shrouded in conspiracy, waiting to be uncovered. Mulder says he acquired his "I Want to Believe" poster from a head shop on M Street and hung it in his basement office back in March 1992. This is our take on that now famous poster in shirt form, so never stop believing... and trust no one.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
