JOURNAL STANDARD relume’s Latest ‘Star Wars’ Collab Brings Mando, Grogu, and the X-Wing Back to Earth in Stone-Washed Tees

Summary

• JOURNAL STANDARD relume has released a four-piece Star Wars vintage print T-shirt collection 
• Each tee is built on a 100% cotton original body with stone-wash processing applied throughout, blending the print and fabric into a genuine vintage fade rather than a surface-level distress effect
• The four designs span The Mandalorian, Episode IV: A New Hope poster art, and a double-sided X-Wing print, timed to the theatrical release of The Mandalorian & Grogu

JOURNAL STANDARD relume has released its SS26 Star Wars vintage print T-shirt collection. The four-piece lineup arrives as The Mandalorian & Grogu heads to theaters, and it is the most technically considered iteration of relume’s ongoing Star Wars collaboration yet.

The construction separates these from the licensed graphic tee category they technically occupy. Each tee is built on a 100% cotton original body with stone-wash processing applied across the entire garment, not just the print. The result is a fade effect where the graphic and the fabric age together rather than the print sitting on top of a shirt that reads brand new underneath. It is a distinction that sounds minor and lands significantly in the hand: these read like tees that have been worn, not tees that have been treated to appear worn.

The four designs are well chosen. The Mandalorian chapter leads with a print of Mando and Grogu alongside the series’ defining line, “THIS IS THE WAY,” a combination that functions as shorthand for the show’s emotional register without overloading the garment with imagery. The Episode IV: A New Hope poster art design reaches further back, drawing on one of cinema’s most recognisable pieces of graphic design and rendering it through relume’s vintage lens in a way that makes it feel discovered rather than licensed. A double-sided tee with the X-Wing across the back completes the set’s most collector-coded piece, with the reverse print rewarding the kind of attention that the stone-wash processing is built to invite.

JOURNAL STANDARD relume’s Star Wars history runs deep enough that this SS26 drop reads as a chapter rather than a standalone release. The brand has commissioned Star Wars pieces across multiple seasons, from Phantom Menace sweatshirts to Mandalorian prints, consistently applying its vintage treatment methodology to a franchise whose original merchandise from the 1970s and 1980s is genuinely one of the most coveted categories in pop-culture collecting. The relume approach — original body, stone-wash, considered design selection — produces something that earns a place in that conversation.

The Star Wars x JOURNAL STANDARD relume SS26 collection is available now via JOURNAL STANDARD relume stores.
