On Hollywood Tee Cure Boys Dont Cry S/S (Black) brings The Cure’s post-punk mood into a clean black short-sleeve tee with a stark grayscale front graphic. The shirt features a dark black body with a standard crewneck fit, short sleeves, and a large rectangular image printed at center chest. Inside the graphic, a shadowed figure holding a guitar stands against a hazy black-and-white background, with “THE CURE” printed at the upper left and “BOYS DON’T CRY” stacked at the lower left in bold block lettering.
The design has that classic darkwave, record-shop, skate-video feeling: simple, moody, and easy to wear without looking overdone. The black base keeps it versatile with denim, Dickies, cargos, or layered under a flannel, while the high-contrast artwork gives it enough presence to stand on its own. It fits naturally in the same world as late-night shop playlists, old video soundtracks, and the music tees that have always crossed over into skate culture around Monrovia, Pasadena, Arcadia, Duarte, Glendora, Covina, Claremont, and South Pasadena.
The Cure connection runs deep in skateboarding, and SkateVideoSite shows some specific placements that make this tee feel right in a skate shop: “Boys Don’t Cry” is used in the intro of 303 Boards’ The Fever and for Dave Allen’s part in Death Skateboards’ Better Than Life; “Close To Me” is used for Kevin “Spanky” Long’s part in Emerica’s This Is Skateboarding; “Six Different Ways” is used for Mikey Wright’s part in Blueprint’s Lost and Found; “A Forest” is used for Joel Curtis’ part in Landscape’s Portraits and also shows up in the USA section of Krux’s Feelin’ It.
