by

Summary

  • JOURNAL STANDARD relume has released a four-piece Star Wars vintage print T-shirt collection 
  • Each tee is built on a 100% cotton original body with stone-wash processing applied throughout, blending the print and fabric into a genuine vintage fade rather than a surface-level distress effect
  • The four designs span The Mandalorian, Episode IV: A New Hope poster art, and a double-sided X-Wing print, timed to the theatrical release of The Mandalorian & Grogu

JOURNAL STANDARD relume has launched a new collection of vintage-style Star Wars T-shirts for Spring/Summer 2026. Featuring four different designs, the collection coincides with the release of The Mandalorian & Grogu in theaters and represents the most detailed and thoughtfully designed version of relume’s continuing partnership with Star Wars.

These t-shirts are different from typical licensed graphic tees in how they’re made. They start with 100% cotton and undergo a full stone-wash process, treating the entire shirt, not just the design. This creates a faded look where the graphic ages with the fabric, instead of appearing printed on a brand-new shirt. It’s a subtle difference, but you can really feel it – these tees feel genuinely worn, not artificially distressed.

The four designs are excellent choices. The Mandalorian design features Mando and Grogu with the show’s iconic phrase, “THIS IS THE WAY,” capturing the show’s heart without being too visually busy. The Episode IV: A New Hope design uses a classic movie poster, reimagined with a vintage feel that makes it feel like a unique find rather than standard merchandise. A t-shirt with the X-Wing on the back, and a smaller print on the front, is the most collectible item, and the special wash of the fabric encourages closer inspection.

JOURNAL STANDARD relume has a long-standing connection to Star Wars, and their latest collection feels like a natural continuation of that history, not just a one-time release. They’ve created Star Wars apparel for several seasons, featuring everything from Phantom Menace sweatshirts to designs inspired by The Mandalorian. They consistently give these items a vintage look, fitting for a franchise whose original 1970s and 80s merchandise is highly sought after by collectors. relume’s process – using quality basics, a special washing technique, and thoughtful design choices – results in pieces that feel like they belong alongside those classic collectibles.

The new Star Wars x JOURNAL STANDARD relume Spring/Summer 2026 collection is now available in JOURNAL STANDARD relume stores.
