  • Designs inspired by the timeless works of literary history
  • Premium apparel for the reader who quotes Austen, Dickens, and Woolf in daily life
  • Exclusive Bookish Society pieces celebrating classic literature
  • A thoughtful gift for the devoted reader of the literary canon

Classic Literature Sweatshirts

Literary Classics is a small, carefully chosen shelf for readers who keep returning to the books that started it all. Jane Austen fans can visit Pemberley House or wear a Pride and Prejudice tribute, while gothic readers will find Dracula, Frankenstein and The Phantom of the Opera. “Monsters Road” and the “Midnight Monster Book Club” bring literature’s great monsters together for one very atmospheric meeting.

These designs are printed on crewneck sweatshirts: mostly the classic 8.0 oz medium-heavy fleece crewneck with ribbed cuffs and waistband, plus one on the softer Softstyle Sweatshirt. Each is printed after you order, so it arrives fresh.

Love the classics on your shelf as well as your sleeve? Our literary decor includes acrylic book vases inspired by Dracula, Pride and Prejudice, Little Women and Wuthering Heights. For more gothic atmosphere, explore Spooky Reads.
