Graphic Tees

Rooted in the brand's relationship with music and creative culture, John Varvatos men's graphic T-shirts give the everyday tee a more individual character. Explore custom artwork, embroidered motifs and artist collaborations, brought to life through tactile techniques and carefully developed finishes. "The graphic Tee's are easy to incorporate into any wardrobe and look just as cool under a tuxedo as they do with a pair of jeans and a leather jacket. We consider some of our graphic Tee's core, fundamental essentials in our own wardrobes at home, oftentimes, they 'save the day' and make the outfit come together quickly and easily when we're in a rush to get dressed in the morning." - Design Collective

A graphic tee with more to say

The collection draws on music, art and enduring symbols, translating those influences into designs that reward a closer look. Some pieces make their impression through a single screen-printed image. Others use embroidery or layered stitching to bring depth to the artwork.

The treatments are equally important. Raw edges and weathered washes can introduce lived-in ease, while tonal stitching offers a quieter expression. The result is a collection of graphic tees for men that moves beyond the conventional printed T-shirt, balancing expressive design with the refinement of the wider John Varvatos wardrobe.
 

The collection includes original John Varvatos artwork alongside designs that honor influential icons. Explore the range through its imagery and creative inspiration.

  • Iconic collaborations: Discover men's band T-shirts celebrating legendary musical figures, with current designs referencing The Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, and AC/DC.
  • Embroidered artwork: Explore tees where tonal, satin, or metallic embroidery adds texture and dimension beyond a conventional surface print.
  • Appliqué designs: Layered fabric or leather elements create relief within crests, lettering, and other custom JV motifs.
  • Symbolic graphics: Skulls, peace signs, animals, heraldic emblems, and other recurring symbols give each piece its own narrative.
  • Printed and photographic tees: Discover men's printed T-shirts featuring screen-printed illustrations and text-led artwork, as well as photographic imagery.
  • Washed and lived-in finishes: Faded surfaces and raw edges give this collection of graphic tees for men a characterful, vintage feel.

John Varvatos men's graphic T-shirts blend original imagery with a deep-rooted connection to rock 'n' roll. Surface treatments are chosen to complement each design, giving the artwork complexity and an individual presence.
