Studio Tee (Pay What You Want)
Celeste in Tomato & Natural
Express checkout
DESCRIPTION
The Studio T-shirt is our new boxy style from the Patterned Basics collection. Made from 100% cotton and locally screen-printed and over-dyed in California. It’s made to feel like a vintage find, perfectly soft, and lived-in. The fit was designed to be inclusive and loved by everyone.
There is a single needle stitch at the neckline that may (or may not) break when you pull the garment over your head. The stitch is aesthetic, not structural. It won’t happen to every shirt, but we tried on a lot of them and it happened enough that we weren’t feeling great about it and couldn't hold the "what if" of it all. So this is the deal: pay what you want, roll with a little unpredictability, and get a great shirt.
Shirts are final sale.

THE FINE PRINT
The Studio T-Shirt didn’t come out exactly as intended (we discovered a small production error after months of development) but it’s still a really good shirt.
There is a single needle stitch at the neckline that may break when you pull the garment over your head. It won’t happen to every shirt, but we tried on a lot of them and it happened enough that we weren’t feeling great about it and couldn't hold the "what if" of it all.
It’s not structural. The shirt holds up just fine.
Not being transparent about it isn’t the Jenny Pennywood vibe. So this is the deal: pay what you want, roll with a little unpredictability, and get something super wearable and filled with love and joy.
If the stitch breaks, leave it for a lived-in feeling or you can remove it, either are good options.
PROCESS
Every Jenny Pennywood textile is screen printed with water-based inks and sewn locally in California. We use a small-batch over-dyeing process, where each finished piece is dyed after it's sewn, giving it our signature “born vintage” feel. This results in a soft, lived-in vibe from day one, with subtle variations in color and size that make each item uniquely its own.
CARE
Machine wash cold. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Like every great vintage textile, screen-printed and over-dyed items may fade with repeated washing, growing softer, more lived-in, and (in our opinion) better with time.

Behind the Scenes
Pennywood Patterns
Jenny Pennywood patterns are rooted in Jen Garrido’s fine art practice, shaped by years of exploring and working with color, rhythm, and form. These are not digital-first designs, each one begins by hand as a painting or drawing in the studio. The artwork is then translated into repeatable forms that become the visual foundation for textiles, accessories, and patterned basics. Every pattern is uniquely playful and down to co-mingle.
Jen Garrido
Meet the Maker
Jenny Pennywood is the alter ego of fine artist Jen Garrido, a painter and designer based in San Francisco. What began as a creative sidestep has grown into a bold, pattern-forward world of textiles, accessories, and artwork.
Working Definition
patterned basics
patterned basics (noun)
- Everyday essentials, such as tee shirts, underwear, and socks, reimagined through color and pattern; functional pieces designed to be worn regularly while carrying visual presence and personality.
- In the context of Jenny Pennywood: garments rooted in original artwork, translated into textiles and produced in small, intentional runs; objects that balance utility and expression, meant to be lived in rather than kept precious.
Everyday, not throwaway
Our philosophy is fewer, longer lasting, timeless, and quality things, which is exactly what we make.
Color: More is merrier
Colorways and patterns are meant to mix and mingle in a way that compliments without clashing
SIGNATURE TEXTILES + FABRICS
Woven from natural fibers, our textiles are made to last and like vintage denim, they just get better with age.
HAND-PAINTED PATTERN DESIGN
Each pattern is hand-drawn or painted by Jen Garrido in the studio and printed on natural, thoughtfully sourced textiles.
Trying to add some color to my black and gray wardrobe. I love the print and the slightly boxy and cropped cut is contemporary. It’s not too cropped—I’m 63 and don’t want a midriff baring shirt. Large is appropriately roomy for me, normally size US 12.
Love it!
Such a fun tee- I love wearing it!
Love the colorful pattern and the boxy fit. Fabric feels soft with a good drape. Glad I bought it!
This has quickly become my new favorite tee. I have followed Jenny Pennywood for a very long time, but this was my first purchase. As recommended in some of the reviews, I chose to size up for a looser fit. I absolutely love this tee! I love the pattern, I love that it’s lightweight (a must for Texas summers), and I liked it SO much I went back and bought another in a different pattern the next week. It arrives today and I can’t wait!
