Nirvana are often cited as the most influential band of modern times, but Kurt Cobain would often talk publicly about the bands and artists which had influenced him. He repeatedly wore this tee, featuring the front cover of Daniel Johnston’s sixth album, ‘Hi How Are You’, shortly after Johnston was signed by Atlantic Records. In association with Daniel Johnston, Worn By brings you this classic shirt worn by a modern hero.

This vintage inspired t-shirt was handmade in Europe from the finest 160gsm 100% cotton jersey on our classic crew neck silhouette with reverse stripe and a sewn on printed patch. All Worn By garments are sweatshop free, ethically sourced and our labels are 100% recycled.

Despite Johnston's relatively low profile and limited commercial success, Cobain was a vocal advocate for his music, often citing him as an inspiration and urging his fans to check out Johnston's work. This endorsement helped bring greater attention to Johnston's unique style and contributed to a renewed interest in his music in the 1990s.

The "Hi How Are You" t-shirt became synonymous with Cobain and the grunge scene that he helped to popularize. Its distinctive design, featuring a cartoon frog with the album title scrawled across its chest, became an iconic symbol of both Cobain's individual style and the wider countercultural movement that he represented. Today, the shirt remains a beloved artifact of music history, and its continued popularity is a testament to the enduring influence of Nirvana and the wider grunge scene on modern culture.
