These are the T-shirts that started the alternative clothing brand that became Jed Phoenix of London. They were sold orginally from a stall in The Electric Ballroom, Camden Town, and were the basis on which Jed received initial funding from the Prince's Youth Business Trust. The idea behind the Obscure Label T-shirts was that we all have labels that we can attach to ourselves, but that these labels never tell the whole story. Therefore, the alphabet used to create some of these T-shirt designs had bits missing. Some of the other T-shirt designs, available here in the back catalogue, came about from experiences that happened during the 5 years that Jed had the stall at The Electric Ballroom in Camden Town. For example, the "Barbie is a shit - give me Ken any day!" T-shirt was designed in response to the prevelance of the "Barbie is a slut" T-shirts being sold in Camden's markets. The "National Speed Limit - how many grammes is that officer?" was inspired by many late night trips up and down the M23 to and from Brighton. Because of Jed's strong links to Brighton, one of the T-shirts from the Obscure Labels back catalogue is featured in Brighton Museum's Renegade Fashion Exhibition, along with the second pair of strap trousers Jed made.

These back catalogue T-shirts are in limited supply. Jed is unable to print any more. They are therefore available only in a very limited range of colours and sizes. The detachable sleeves, however, are available in small, medium and large, and can also be worn with the Pin On Panel T-shirts.
