Sweatshirt True Friends Stab You In The Front (Oscar Wilde)

The October 2024 design is dedicated both to Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde, who was born on 16 October 1854 in Dublin, Ireland, and all our true friends.

After graduating from Trinity College, Wilde left for Oxford and then London, where he became an advocate of libertarian socialism and an early inspiration for what would, many years later, become a movement for LGBT+ rights. Wilde’s most overt political statements are to be found in his essay, “The Soul of Man under Socialism,” in which he observed that:

“Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.”

Among some of the more famous quotes from Wilde is “true friends stab you in the front” which Chris W. Jany, the designer for this month, has chosen to use as an inspiration.

Oscar Wilde died of meningitis at the age of 46 and his final years were marked by poverty.
