My Dad Actually Liked His Father’s Day Gift: a T-Shirt Frame Display
What do you get your dad for Father’s Day? Especially when he tells you he wants “nothing” and is the kind of person who loves to collect speciality items? That’s the question that boggles my mind year after year. My dad is a big collector of things like baseball cards, sports memorabilia, and even Hot Wheels, and when he wants something he quietly buys it himself.
Then it hit me: Why not get him something to help celebrate and display the things he already cherishes? Enter: the Umbra TFrame T Shirt Wall Frame, the early Father’s Day gift I gave my dad this year so he could safely store and display one of his favorite collectible shirts. (Spoiler alert: He loved it!)
What Is the Umbra TFrame T Shirt Wall Frame?
This acrylic frame is uniquely shaped like a T-shirt so that you can display your favorite sport, concert, or graphic T-shirt or jersey. It comes in two sizes: a small, which measures 21.5 x 1.13 x 19.75, for $33 and a medium, which measures 28.5 x 1.25 x 24.5, for $75. It includes a folding guide to help you know how to perfectly align your shirt inside the frame.
This is the perfect gift idea for anyone you know who has a prized concert shirt, vintage jersey, or any other memorabilia they’ve been storing but unable to display. Not only does it keep items safe (the acrylic is shatter-proof!), but it also makes it so you’re able to proudly display your items instead of hiding them away.
Why My Dad Loves Using This Frame for T-Shirts
My dad was stoked to receive this from me. He immediately told me about a shirt he’s been wanting to put on display but couldn’t figure out the best way to do so. It’s a 1997 Mike Tyson T-shirt he bought firsthand, wore once, and tucked away for safe keeping. “I’ve had it for years,” he texted me. “You were still a baby.” It sat folded and untouched for all that time, moving from home to home. Now he has a way to put it up on the wall to admire — all while it remains safely behind acrylic glass.
The instructions were easy to follow, and he couldn’t wait to hang it up on the wall (he sent me a picture of it before putting it up). I’m just glad I found something that I knew he’d be interested in: a practical, unique gift that’ll help him show off one of his prized finds.
