RTFM — Read the Father’s Manual Christian T-Shirt | 2 Timothy 3:16 | Alternative Faith Streetwear
Some people wait until everything breaks before reading the manual.
RTFM reclaims a familiar piece of tech shorthand: Read the Father’s Manual. It’s a direct reminder that Scripture isn’t merely decoration, an emergency reference, or something reserved for Sunday morning. It teaches, corrects, challenges, and equips us to live differently.
The design combines vivid alternative styling with a praying believer at his computer, an open Bible, and a necessary cup of coffee. It was created for Christians living at the intersection of faith, technology, gaming, music, and everyday life.
“Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness.”
— 2 Timothy 3:16, World English Bible
Designed by Radikal Christian Wear for believers who prefer their faith honest, visible, and a little loud.

This design was developed through a custom, human-directed, AI-assisted workflow using models and creative tools operated locally on our own hardware. AI supported concept development, visual generation and refinement, composition, production preparation, and listing copy.
Radikal Christian Wear directed and repeatedly refined the concept, selected and revised the generated material, verified the Scripture, constructed the typography and final layout, and approved the finished composition. Prompts avoided named artists, copyrighted characters, franchises, and brands.
Our workstation runs Ubuntu Linux and uses free and open-source software where practical. AI-assisted tools help the designer work around physical limitations while creating original Christian artwork for people whom traditional church merchandise may leave behind.
Fabric

Without side seams
Knitted in one piece using tubular knit, it reduces fabric waste and makes the garment more attractive
Ribbed knit collar without seam
Ribbed knit makes the collar highly elastic and helps retain its shape

Twill tape covers the shoulder seams to stabilize the back of the garment and prevent stretching
