The patients at the Arkham Sanitarium go about the daily work of pursuing mental health dressed in our comfortable long-sleeve patient shirts. Each shirt is soft, comfy, made in a soothing color and features each patient's number plainly on the chest. This helps ensure each patient gets the correct medication and that as few patients as possible are lobotomized in error. Your mind will be eased and the voices will whisper more soothing things to you in this lovely garment. And the long sleeve design make it easy for orderlies to tie your sleeves together behind your back in the event all of the straightjackets are occupied.

Our Arkham Sanitarium Patient Shirt features the sanitarium logo both front and back. Each garment is hand numbered (really) ensuring no two shirts are the same). The shirt is a 100% cotton made in soothing gray and is made right here in the USA in sweatshop-free conditions by Royal Apparel.

NOTE: this shirt used to be made in moss green, but our supplier stopped making it in that color. It is now only available in an Asylum Gray.

We now offer a variation on this shirt in our Redbubble store that gives you more size and color options (but is printed on one side only...)

Awesome

I have been waiting over a year for this to be in stock, I love it, im 6'2 and 180 lbs and the extra large is a good fit that is a little loose, keep in mind the material is similar to long underwear waffle texture and it is thick and form fitting, great shirt, i get interesting reactions from people who think its real. Would buy again because it is just fun !

High quality and looks genuine

I really like my purchase. long lasting fabric, and looks genuine

Better than the old rags I had

Soft, cozy and with long hem. I like long hem. Fabric is super nice and has good texture, just like what they use in institutions like this (what do I know, it’s my first time). Good for those chilly days and nights.

Also, the print feels and looks solid.

Male, 5’9” (176cm), 198 pounds (90kg), 44” (112cm) chest and size XL is spot on (like they said it would be when I was getting all my stuff from the storage room).

It makes you nicely blend in with all the loonies here. Which I’m obviously not. I’m here because I have seen the truth!

Those eyes, those glowing eyes…

More comfortable than a hug

An lovely piece of clothing, not to thick but still warm when the weather tells you that it hates you and the rest of mankind.

Great fit, nice Arkham prints and it also let's the world know that you are kind of not like all the others. Not insane, just greater (and with a great taste in choosing what to wear)

Lovely garment

I was pleasantly surprised by just how soft the material is on this shirt. Dr. Cradleflap thinks it should lessen the chafing from the straps on my 'straitening jacket', as he calls it. I despise him.

This book is a treasure.

This book is a treasure. It is beautifully embossed with an image of what appears to be a mask of the Muse of Tragedy, with trophy-like accompaniments; it has wonderful and tasteful illustrations; and is meticulously and lovingly researched. Lovecraft and Classicism -- what shall we compare it to? Poetry and the Gods? In immersing with this book, this reader feels that he has caught a surreptitious and dangerous glimpse of the sublime, cyclopean carving on Mount Ngranek. Thanks to HPLHS for bringing this masterpiece to its members and the general public.

There are annotated tales, and then there’s “Night-Black Deeds”

Anyone wishing to understand something of what lies behind Lovecraft’s stories can only benefit from an annotated version of those tales. This beautifully-made volume provides a particularly in-depth examination of “The Shunned House”, its extraordinarily problematic publication history, and elements of the historical events and settings that influenced Lovecraft’s creation of it. Even those who, like myself, already possess one or more different annotated versions, will find new aspects detailed here. For instance, in places in print (including here) and online may be found numerous illustrations and images of the western side of the Providence building that was a primary source for the story, as seen from Benefit Street. Here though, we also have the much rarer sketch Lovecraft drew in 1934 showing the eastern end of the property, as viewed from the Wheaton Street side, especially highlighted thanks to its reuse in enlarged form in both the front and back endpapers. The essays and notes are all just as fascinating in their various ways, and there is, of course, a complete version of the tale here as well, making this a thoroughly well-rounded book. My own came as part of the Kickstarter package, and while the extra elements in that add further to the whole experience, this is a finely-crafted, standalone text in its own right. Highly recommended.

Not Shunned: Providential

High-quality period props and maps are a staple product from the HPLHS, and so it is again here, concentrating on Lovecraft’s beloved hometown, in postcard views, the Chamber of Commerce booklet Lovecraft sent to at least one of his correspondents, and a map of part of the College Hill area of the city, with locations noted for the Shunned House of that story, the former colonial-period burial ground to its west, and Cheapside, a near-waterfront district that features in other Lovecraft tales set in Providence. Those with the props pack from the DART audio production for the HPLHS’ “Shunned House” radio show, will recognise the map, as part of it was included there. This version though is complete, and printed on much finer, heavier, paper stock. The DART props add still more to this set, and to the separate “Night-Black Deeds” volume, as well as even the full Whipple Edition boxed set for the Shunned House story, making a very grand whole for those who wish to indulge most fully in this story’s potential. As a Kickstarter backer, this Pack came with my other Shunned House items, but even on its own, it adds something fresh for anyone wanting to understand more of Lovecraft’s Providence of the 1920s and 30s.

The Fungi From Providence

Three versions of the same Lovecraft tale in one set might seem like overkill, even in such a beautiful HPLHS-Helios House production. Each here though is unique. The first clamshell box holds the replica uncut printed sheets, difficult to read, but looking almost exactly like the ones Lovecraft himself saw and handled. Except these are on much better-quality paper, if sadly without the original embedded watermark. That watermark is shown though, with an added note thanking the Kickstarter backers, on the former copyright page. Clamshell box two has the modernly-reset, booklet-bound, version of the tale in an easily readable form, with an impressive Hester Aspland illustration of the eponymous House, and separate goodies - the acrostic poems booklet, bookmark, fungus-and-Indian-Pipes-illustrated bookplate, certificate of authenticity (41 here!), and the Providence Pack. Look out too for the full colour picture of the Whipples in the fungous cellar, with Crookes tube, flamethrower and flashlights, in the box’s base. Finally, we have the annotated version of the story in “Night-Black Deeds”, the deceptively slim volume that rounds off the whole. The essays, images and notes in this add yet more to the tale, its background and the influence of Lovecraft’s view of Providence, including a reduced-size image of the Benefit Street area map from the Providence Pack as its frontispiece. As an early backer of the Kickstarter, I am, of course, biased, but this is a truly wonderful set.

First Impressions

Recieved my annual membership documents on 24 June and I have to commend the craftmenship on both the certificate and membership card! The pictures on the site do not do them justice on how good they really are! Looking forward to adventures with HPLHS!
