JOURNAL STANDARD relume drops vintage Star Wars tees ahead of The Mandalorian & Grogu
Stone-washed on relume’s own cotton body, these Star Wars tees lean into faded thrift-shop realism, with the Darth Vader black B print reading most like a true find.
JOURNAL STANDARD relume’s latest Star Wars capsule understands the real appeal of a licensed tee: not the logo, but the wear. Built as a four-piece vintage-print T-shirt collection on the brand’s own 100% cotton body, the shirts are stone-wash processed for a faded finish that gives the graphics the soft, slightly battered patina collectors usually spend years chasing.
The lineup lands through BAYCREW’S STORE under item number 26071464934010, priced at ¥9,900, and comes in sizes M and L. Five colorways are listed, black, black A, black B, gray B, and white, each anchored by a different Star Wars image treatment. Black carries Mando, Grogu, and the phrase “This is the Way.” Black A pulls from Episode IV: A New Hope poster art and flips to an X-wing on the back. Black B goes darker with Darth Vader and the Death Star. Gray B places Mando on the front and Grogu on the back. White uses the Anakin Skywalker-to-Vader poster image, giving the range a cleaner, more graphic end point.
The strongest piece is black B. It looks the most like something you might pull from the bottom rack of a great vintage shop: the villain-heavy imagery is blunt, the palette is compressed, and the stone-wash treatment dulls the print just enough to suggest age without killing the image. That balance is why these licensed tees work when cleaner fanwear often does not. They feel already broken in, already styled, already part of a wardrobe, rather than waiting to be worn into one.
BAYCREW’S describes the capsule as a relume-exclusive special print T-shirt with a realistic vintage feel, and that framing fits the product’s construction more than any franchise tie-in does. The tees are made in China, hand-washable, and built around relume’s own body, which matters: the silhouette and fabric finish do more of the selling than the graphics alone. It is the kind of fit-and-finish story streetwear readers understand immediately.
The release also extends relume’s ongoing Star Wars run. The brand previously issued a 2022 collection of six Champion Reverse Weave sweatshirts, using 1977-era title logos and related designs. That history gives the new capsule a little more weight, especially as it arrives in the middle of a broader May 2026 Star Wars moment tied to The Mandalorian & Grogu, which was slated for theatrical release on May 22, 2026. A staff note posted on May 20 called it the annual Star Wars special, and the tees make good on that promise by looking less like souvenir merch and more like a genuinely worn-in piece of fashion.
