I would almost vote for it. But alas the distressing ruins it for me.

Agreed. It would take a real man to wear this shirt. One confident in his machismo.

You can't expect it to look brand new. It is from 1591 after all.

WOW! This one is fantastic. Shakepearian in design, yet you wouldn't know it unless you remember High School English. I love the distressed look and the design is very beautiful and something Shakespear would have designed him self. GMV

This is wonderfully simple, and very pretty! Also a very clever nudge to comedy...or tragedy? Nice work, Jewelwing!

Love it - but it's on white. With the iron in my water, I cannot do white. Sigh...

Hahaha, we were talking last night about high school English class. The last time I read or saw an actual S'peare play was back then, you know, when dinosaurs with pink bangs and hammer pants roamed the earth. (ok not that long ago)

Re: Verona Apothecary
Really well done. Looks like a perfect mock of some random label. I'd actually buy one for my gf to pay her back for all the woot shirts she's purchased for me

What does iron water do to white? Now I have to research that. I always disregarded the "i can't wear white because I spill stuff on myself" comments because that's what bleach is for. But I'm not familiar with the iron-water issue...

Iron turns everything yellow in 2 washes. Bleach (I learned the hard way) reacts with the iron in the water and makes it darker. You can use something like heavy duty iron cleaner, but it usually eats through the clothes within 10 washings.

Love the design, it's not so "wooty" which means the gf won't complain about me wearing it.

I'd also wear this one without feeling emasculated. It's a classy, elegant, clever design.

Re: Verona Apothecary
I'm a guy and I'd wear this even if it was on pink. And the ink was glittery. OK, maybe not the glittery part, but I like this shirt.

Re: Verona Apothecary
Love it and really love the distressing, but I'd love it even more on almost anything not-white. Gray's done to death too - maybe a nice pale tan/taupe? Something that looks like it's been in a trunk for 400 years...
Also, my husband would totally wear it. He doesn't have a problem with his identity or yours, thankfully.

Re: Verona Apothecary
Dang! Ordered one before realizing the name of the city was wrong. The apothecary was in Mantua, not Verona.

It gives a lovely rust-colored tinge to your clothes. Even after one washing they are never quite the same.
