Wear Your Provincetown Pride with this New Collection From Blade + Blue<\/b>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re lovin\u2019 summer or doing some summer lovin,\u2019 nothing beats spending the warmer months in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Now, you can wear your love for P-Town on your (metaphorical) sleeves with sexy, stylish tanks and tees from Blade + Blue<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The limited edition, handcrafted collection is equal parts chic and cheeky, celebrating Provincetown\u2019s unique culture with designs created in a collaboration between Blade + Blue founder Peter Papas and artist Andrew Sedgwick Guth.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Papas discovered Guth after the artist tagged Blade + Blue in an Instagram post<\/a>. Papas was inspired by Guth\u2019s bright, sexy art<\/a> and reached out for a collaboration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Andrew and I were getting to know each other, we realized that we both had a deep connection with Provincetown, and we kept coming back to our love for this place,\u201d Papas said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year marks the second collection dedicated to Provincetown. Fans of last year\u2019s capsule will be glad to see new iterations of popular designs and more creative interpretations of life in P-Town.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One of last year\u2019s most sought-after designs was a slice of pizza in a leather harness with the words \u201cPizza Fetish<\/a>.\u201d This year\u2019s design pushes the envelope further with a pizza-themed jockstrap illustration. (The fictional brand on the tag? Meat Lovers, of course.)<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew and I were insistent on having another pizza themed tee,\u201d Papas said. \u201cI mean, what\u2019s a trip to P-Town without cruising in front of Spiritus after the bars close?\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other T-shirt designs include an ode to the nude<\/a> beach (\u201cSun\u2019s Out Bun\u2019s Out<\/a>\u201c), copper bicycles, a trio of whales, a sexy sail \u201cOn the Lookout,\u201d and a celebration of tea dances and kiki-ing with your best Judys (\u201cSpill the Tea\u201d).<\/p>\n

As for the tanks, guys<\/a> can self-identify as (or attract) a \u201cBeach Dad<\/a>\u201d or a \u201cSeal Pup.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew and I kept laughing at how we were now \u2018daddies\u2019 and the younger guys<\/a> referred to themselves as \u2018pups,\u2019\u201d Papas said. \u201cWe then drew a straight line to the little seal pups resting on Provincetown\u2019s beaches who are so irresistible but we were not allowed to touch them \u2026 Sounds just like a lot of the boys<\/a> we know, too!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Like all Blade + Blue items, nothing is mass produced. Each of the six tees and two tanks in this year\u2019s collection are handprinted by Guth and come hand signed and numbered. After hand carving each design, Guth creates the ink and personally pulls the ink for every garment, making each shirt even more special.<\/p>\n

The T-shirts will retail for $50 and the tanks are $45. Plus, $2 from each tee goes to the Provincetown Library.<\/p>\n

Towleroad readers can save 15 percent on their order using the code \u2018TOWLEROAD\u2019 at checkout.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to this summer\u2019s hottest tees and tanks, Blade + Blue offers a slew of handsomely designed and expertly tailored menswear, including a summer short-sleeve shirt collection inspired by the Hawaiian islands (\u201cRhythm of the Heat<\/a>\u201c) and the most luxurious, stylish men<\/a>\u2019s underwear you\u2019ll find. (Finally, a tailored boxer short that\u2019s easy to wear with a skinny pant!)<\/p>\n

Check out the full line of Provincetown-inspired tees and tanks below, along with some of our favorite Blade + Blue pieces.<\/p>\n
