Complete the look
The Big Bro DIY Tee is part of Vale Forever's FW26 season and builds on the brand's Big Brother graphic tees. The DIY version takes a vintage ringer shape and reworks it by hand with distressing and applied rhinestones, so each piece looks individually worn in. The Valley 14 varsity graphic ties it to the Valley branding seen across Vale's tees, zip-ups and denim.
The body is a sun-faded, acid-washed charcoal black, set against faded red ribbed trim at the collar and sleeve cuffs for a classic ringer look. Arched "VALLEY" lettering and a large "14" are outlined in multicoloured rhinestones over distressed red "VALE" block letters. The back is plain faded black, with the red trim carried around the collar and cuffs.
Made from 100% cotton with a sun-faded acid wash and contrasting red ribbed ringer trim at the collar and cuffs. The front carries a layered varsity graphic with multicoloured rhinestones outlining the "VALLEY" lettering and the "14". Hand-worked DIY distressing, pinholes and frayed edges run around the shoulders, neckline and hem. A boxy body with dropped shoulders completes the build.
FitRuns true to size with a boxy, oversized fit. Order your usual size for the intended look.

The Big Bro DIY Tee is for anyone who wants a graphic tee that genuinely looks vintage rather than freshly printed. It suits people who like a boxy streetwear fit and a worn-in, distressed finish. The rhinestone detailing also makes it a statement piece that holds its own without layering.
The faded black body and red trim suit washed grey or light-blue baggy denim, which keeps the tee's vintage feel front and centre. Add red or black sneakers to pick up the ringer trim. For colder days, wear it under an open black zip-up so the Valley 14 graphic still shows.
Compared to a standard graphic tee, the Big Bro DIY Tee is hand-distressed and finished with applied rhinestones, so it reads as a reworked vintage piece. Within Vale Forever's range it shares the Valley 14 varsity graphic with the Chopped T-Shirt, but swaps the patchwork panels for a single faded black body with red ringer trim. It is the stronger choice for anyone who prefers a cleaner colour palette with heavier distressing.
Yes, the Big Bro DIY Tee runs true to size with a boxy, oversized fit and dropped shoulders. Order your usual size for the intended relaxed look. Size down one if you prefer a closer fit.
Yes, the pinholes, abrasions and frayed edges are hand-worked DIY distressing, applied around the shoulders, neckline and hem as part of the design. Combined with the acid wash, it gives each tee an authentic vintage look, so no two are exactly the same.
The Big Bro DIY Tee is sold in men's sizing, but the boxy cut makes it a unisex piece. Women after an oversized look can usually take their regular size or one size down.
Hand wash cold, or machine wash on a delicate cycle inside out in a mesh laundry bag, to protect the rhinestones and distressed fabric. Do not tumble dry or iron over the embellishments. Lay flat or line dry away from direct heat.
