We’ve searched far and wide and we think we’ve found it - the one t-shirt to rule them all…
If you’re the type of person to fall into the hobbit – sorry, habit – of wearing the same clothes day in, day out and you feel like you’re in a rut, fret not. There’s a solution. Lord of the Ring t-shirts.
A follow-up Tolkien’s short novel The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings became one of those rare examples of the sequel surpassing the original. Originally intended to be a single volume of work – sold as a two-volume set with Tolkien’s The Silmarillion - the gargantuan story was eventually released as three individual titles: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.
With over 150 million copies sold worldwide, Tolkien’s LOTR books would go on to influence literature and fantasy for generations to come. Not only was Tolkien a master in creating a whole new world full of rich characters – Frodo Baggins and the hobbits from the Shire, Gandalf, Aragorn, Sauron and more – he was able to spark debates around mythology, religion and even his own experiences in the First World War through his storytelling.
The Lord of the Rings had been reprinted several times over, in over 38 languages worldwide. However, big got bigger when Peter Jackson released his first blockbuster epic in 2001. Not only did the first LOTR film bring the story of the powerful ring, the brave Baggins hobbits and a treacherous journey to Mordor to life, it introduced new generations to the world of Tolkien. Across three years, the three LOTR movies earned a collective $2.9 billion and won 17 Academy Awards.
Now you can keep a piece of the Middle Earth action with you in your daily wardrobe. The choice of LOTR t-shirts include prints featuring everyone’s favourite characters from the franchise, including Gandalf, Aragorn and the rest of the Fellowship. Other Lord of the Rings t-shirts take inspiration from the vast universe Tolkien created. From the Tree of Gondor to quotations from the books, there’s different styles perfect for any fan.
LOTR t-shirts include a selection of EMP exclusives. That’s right. Search to the end of Middle Earth and back, you still wouldn’t find these tees anywhere else.
A wardrobe staple, tees go with anything – but our Lord of the Rings t-shirts are more than ‘just any other basic top.’ They’ll become your new favourite. Dare we say, they’ll become your… preciousssss.
