Billy Ruane Mixtape Sweatshirt

Inspired by Billy Ruane — a lifelong champion of independent music and the mixtape culture that helped shape generations of artists and fans.

The design features a hand-drawn illustration of Billy with a cassette, a nod to the countless mixtapes he made, shared, and lived by. Each shirt is screen printed by hand in Baltimore, using artwork by Jessica Soulen, and printed on Comfort Colors Heavyweight Garment-Dyed Ring Spun 100% Cotton for a soft, broken-in feel right out of the box.

This is not mass-produced merch. Each shirt has subtle variations that reflect the hand-printed process and the spirit of DIY music culture Billy embodied.

100% of proceeds support the release of the documentary film: The Road to Ruane, helping bring Billy's story — and his impact on music — to a wider audience.
