Salman Rushdie, [...]

Capital T: Glasgow artist David Shrigley creates cool tees for Pringle of Scotland

As the temperature drops and we reluctantly trade slouchy shorts for oversized sweaters, one element will happily linger on: The effortless T-shirt is going to remain a wardrobe staple.

Pringle commissioned the renowned Glasgow-based illustrator David [...]
