{"product_id":"the-harder-the-better","title":"The harder, the better","description":"A soft, structured tee that carries a gritty, underground edge. Lightweight Airlume cotton drapes cleanly while the ribbed collar and shoulder tape keep the silhouette sharp wash after wash. On the back, a distressed, metal-inspired script reads like a secret credo — dark, worn, and faded into the fabric for a lived-in look. Wear it layered under a denim jacket for late-night shows, or alone when you want an unpolished statement that still moves with you. Breathable and easy to style, this shirt becomes part of the routine: rehearsals, road trips, mosh pit exits, and quiet coffee runs between gigs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis piece speaks to people who collect experiences more than trends. It feels like a band tee from a favorite era, made with modern, sustainable manufacturing and a tear-away label for comfort. The muted print and retail fit make it versatile without losing attitude — for nights at the venue, meetups with the crew, or the steady grind of practice and travel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct features\u003cbr\u003e- 100% Airlume combed ring-spun cotton (lightweight 4.2 oz) for breathability and soft hand-feel\u003cbr\u003e- Ribbed knit collar with seam and shoulder tape for shape retention and structure\u003cbr\u003e- Side seams for a lasting retail fit and cleaner silhouette\u003cbr\u003e- Back distressed-style script print executed for a worn, vintage metal look\u003cbr\u003e- Tear-away label, REACH certified materials, ethically manufactured (Fair Labor Association\/Platinum WRAP)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCare instructions\u003cbr\u003e- Machine wash: cold (max 30C or 90F)\u003cbr\u003e- Non-chlorine: bleach as needed\u003cbr\u003e- Tumble dry: low heat\u003cbr\u003e- Iron, steam or dry: medium heat\u003cbr\u003e- Do not dryclean\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dark Contempt","offers":[{"title":"Black \/ S","offer_id":48867697787074,"sku":"92486738453129434707","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ M","offer_id":48867697819842,"sku":"19222941058101724406","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ L","offer_id":48867697852610,"sku":"12465756092682961375","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ XL","offer_id":48867697885378,"sku":"18691393821671161032","price":30.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 2XL","offer_id":48867697918146,"sku":"26278196804438111220","price":31.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 3XL","offer_id":48867697950914,"sku":"79004950347694287473","price":32.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/4091\/9746\/files\/20260918073903-1f1b3340-52f0-6f32-85bf-eadc975397dd.png?v=1789717359","url":"https:\/\/www.darkcontempt.store\/products\/the-harder-the-better","provider":"Dark Contempt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
