FIRST LOOK / PRE-ORDER TEES
TDR™ never set out to be a merch company. Like most things we do, it started organically. It started with tees around the time of TDR’s first birthday ( marked over Christmas dinner in Ranmoor ) in the Sheffield scene surrounding FON Records... ‘Supersonic’ T-shirts to celebrate TDR’s first birthday… Then came projects like the ‘Dr Soccer’ tees for Arkwright Leisure, the ‘Customise Terror’ exhibition in New York featuring ‘Work Buy Consume Die’, ‘Bank of Jesus’ and Synesthesia, another New York exhibition curated by Ronnie Cutrone. Tees, books, stickers stuck across New York and collaborations with clothing brands found their way into TDR™… Online sales became a thing, the ‘People’s Bureau for Consumer Information’ shop opened in Tokyo, and what started as a handful of products for mates naturally evolved into something bigger.
Products have always been a by-product of ideas but nobody wants their home to become a shrine to a design company... Even the biggest fans eventually want to listen to something other than the same record on repeat. Because of this, we prefer to release things occasionally, when they feel right. The TDR™40 tees continue that philosophy not just as anniversary merch. They’re markers of four decades of making things.
Each design is made to order, and now the presale is over we cant take any more orders… But look out for more new designs in the future… and see other limited, exclusive product at divinerights.co.uk.
