Handel & Hendrix t shirt by Daniel Davidson

£ 39.00

George Frideric Handel was extraordinarily prolific and popular. He was a creative polymath: extravagantly gifted composer but similarly gifted theatrical director, producer and impresario and astute businessman. Born in Germany he took British citizenship aged 42 in 1727. An opera might have its creative equivalence in a modern day recorded album. Handel delivered 40 operas and quite a bit else besides in 30 years. Since the advent of recorded music you could not name a musician or band with a similar out put because there hasn't been one. Hendrix, another great popular musical innovator - cut down before we really discovered him and he really discovered himself - coincidentally was Handel's immediate neighbour in Mayfair, albeit a few hundred years apart. There is little doubt Handel and Hendrix would have understood each other. What would Handel have made of recorded music? I suspect he would have been right at home, we would surely have had a Handel record label, I suspect he would have been a creative mogul - music, theatre, film; he would have enhanced them all.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
