My Contraption Has a Few Minor Issues is a steampunk shirt for Victorian chaos engineers, makers, tinkerers, airship captains, and inventors with questionable safety records. A masterpiece of understatement for the engineer who has definitely never caused a small fire. Probably. You build magnificent machines. They're innovative. Visionary. Revolutionary. And yes, occasionally they emit concerning noises and require the strategic application of duct tape. But that's just iterative design, isn't it? This shirt celebrates the glorious chaos of invention, the beauty of "it works (mostly)," and the profound engineering truth that "minor issues" is a spectrum.
Wear it to maker spaces, conventions, ren faire weekends, cosplay-adjacent errands, or late-night blueprint sessions powered by tea. It is built for the person who gets the joke without needing it explained, which is exactly the problem and the selling point.
Soft unisex tee with a comfortable retail-style fit
Printed to order to reduce waste and keep the chaos intentional
Machine wash cold; tumble dry low
Great gift for steampunk fans, Victorian goths, makers, engineers, inventors, LARP players, and gear-loving weirdos
Add it to your cart before the contraption develops another minor issue.
