The t-shirt comes from the estate of former BBC DJ, John Peel. ‘Teenage Kicks’ by the group was John’s favourite song after first hearing it in 1978. In a 2001 interview with The Guardian newspaper, John stated that he would like the lyrics ‘teenage dreams so hard to beat’ engraved on his gravestone. It is a size large and measures 43cm (17 inches) and 68.5cm (27 inches).
