Powell's Souvenirs

Powell's Anchor T-Shirt (Kelp)
A good bookstore anchors its local community. That's why Powell's new anchor T-shirt... Oh, please! Our anchor T-shirt has no special symbolic value. It just looks good, like a blue dog with three heads flying on bat wings through a ferocious storm, or a pale princess guarding a magic orb at the bottom of an icy lake. (American Apparel: 100% cotton)

Powell's Owl T-Shirt (Heather Grey)
Why do owls keep so many books? Do they actually read them, or do they just acquire them for the street cred? Maybe they're hoarders or Joyce Carol Oates collectors? We don't really know. (American Apparel: 50/50 poly-cotton blend)

Powell's 41st Anniversary T-Shirt (Gray)
Forty-one: It's Mozart's last symphony. It's one of the lucky numbers of Euler. It's the atomic number of niobium. It's the number of times Paul McCartney sings "Let It Be" in the Beatles' famous song. And now it signifies Powell's long tenure as the nation's preeminent independent bookstore. Celebrate the anniversary and the legend by sporting this sharp T-shirt. (American Apparel: 100% cotton)

Powell's Read Fast T-Shirt (Black, Long Sleeve)
Do you and your books yearn to hit the open highway, the wind whipping your hair and that thumb-soiled copy of On the Road poking out of your rucksack, the sun leathering your neck as you ride through that vast Heartland prairie immortalized by Willa Cather, the stars twinkling above unnoticed as you lie in your tent lost in the intricacies of Neal Stephenson's latest techno-maze? If you're a rebel with a book, the Powell's "Read Fast, Die Young" T-shirt is for you. (Logo on back; American Apparel: 100% cotton)

Powell's Read Fast T-Shirt (Black, Short Sleeve)
Do you and your books yearn to hit the open highway, the wind whipping your hair and that thumb-soiled copy of On the Road poking out of your rucksack, the sun leathering your neck as you ride through that vast Heartland prairie immortalized by Willa Cather, the stars twinkling above unnoticed as you lie in your tent lost in the intricacies of Neal Stephenson's latest techno-maze? If you're a rebel with a book, the Powell's "Read Fast, Die Young" T-shirt is for you. (American Apparel: 100% cotton)

Powell's Oregon T-Shirt (Brown)
On our latest Oregon tee, the state logo reminds us of milk foam on a cappuccino. The nougat center of a decadent chocolate. The pine inlay of a fine walnut table... The subtle tones of this shirt don't shout, they murmur, like Barry White circa '77. They're effortless, like Astaire dancing to Gershwin. They're... Oh, lord, make it stop! (American Apparel: 100% cotton)

Powell's Oregon T-Shirt (Plum)
Did you know Oregon is the second-ranking producer of plums in the nation? Ponder this fascinating fact with a delicious plum and a book while wearing your plum-colored Powell's Oregon T-shirt. (American Apparel: 50% combed cotton / 50% polyester.)

Powell's Born to Read T-Shirt (Soft Brown)
Did you know how to pronounce Dostoyevsky before you learned the word cookie? Did you force your friends to play library and shush them for speaking too loudly while other "patrons" (your teddy bear and stuffed walrus) were reading? Do you love some books on your shelf more than certain family members? Now's your chance to let everyone know. (Logo on front; American Apparel: 50% polyester / 25% cotton / 25% rayon)

Powell's Western Meadowlark T-shirt (Olive Green)
How many state birds do you know who get top billing on a bookstore T-shirt? Well, let's be clear, this is no ordinary state bird! Please! It's Oregon's Western Meadowlark. We're a bit biased, you say? Too full of state pride? Possibly. But we're also pretty confident that it's a darn good-looking little birdie. So, whatever your feelings on our home state, we're sure you'll warm to the likes of this new feathered friend (who can also be found perched on our collectible coffee mug). (American Apparel: 100% cotton.)
