THESE GO TO ELEVEN T-SHIRT

If you know why eleven is louder than ten, you don't need this explained.

Inspired by This Is Spinal Tap (1984), Rob Reiner's legendary rock mockumentary, this design celebrates one of the most brilliantly ridiculous moments in comedy history — when guitarist Nigel Tufnel, played by Christopher Guest, proudly reveals an amplifier with something extra.

Most amplifiers go up to ten. But Spinal Tap aren't most bands. When Nigel demonstrates his specially modified equipment to documentary filmmaker Marty DiBergi, he reveals the secret to achieving that little bit more volume. His amplifier goes all the way to eleven.

A perfectly delivered moment of rock-star logic, the scene became one of the most recognisable jokes in cult cinema. What began as a wonderfully absurd exchange has since become shorthand for taking absolutely anything beyond its limits.

Featuring a bold, stripped-back volume dial design, this T-shirt captures the spirit of Spinal Tap's gloriously excessive approach to rock and roll.

Clean, minimal and instantly recognisable to anyone who appreciates classic comedy, loud guitars and the occasional unnecessary extra notch.

For fans who know that sometimes ten just isn't enough.
