About this design
If you have the kind of brain that becomes so deeply immersed in thought that there isn't room for anything else, this tee will speak to you :) Would that we could all have an engaged signal. Until we do, this message will do the job!
Fabric & care
Specification
- 100% ring-spun cotton
- 6.1 oz (207 g/m²)
- garment-dyed
Care
- Wash
- Cold, with like colours. On its own the first time.
- Dry
- Tumble dry low.
- Iron
- Don't iron. Don't dry clean.
- Bleach
- Non-chlorine only.
- Expect
- Pigment dye. Some colour comes away early and can rub off onto pale fabrics, no two shirts are quite the same shade, and it fades gently by design. Barely shrinks — dyeing pre-shrinks it.
- Embroidery
- Holds well on a cloth this heavy.
Good to know
- A new print can smell faintly of vinegar, or carry a pale mark from the pre-treatment. Both wash out.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight before that first wash — the pre-treatment can sun-stain, and that doesn’t come out.
- No fabric softener. It dulls the print.
- On embroidery, iron around the stitching rather than over it. We’ve washed ours repeatedly and they’ve held up.

These are the garment’s own measurements, not body sizes — and one maker’s medium isn’t another’s, so it’s worth a look before you choose. Soft fabrics never cut quite identically, so allow a little either way.
Width is measured flat, underarm to underarm — double it for the full way round.
How this one fits
Garment-Dyed Heavyweight Tee
Garment-dyed. Relaxed fit, twill-taped neck and shoulders, double-needle hems. Solid 6.1oz weight. The shape is roomy through the chest and shoulders, but the dyeing pulls it in a little, so it lands nearer true to size than the cut suggests. Fully opaque, holds its shape and wears in rather than out.
Cut
US fit, relaxed and boxy — but the dyeing tightens it, so it comes up around half a size to a size smaller than an equivalent US tee.
Sensory notes
- Tubular body — no side seams running down the ribs at all.
- Twill-taped neck and shoulders.
- Heavy at 6.1 oz (207 g/m²) — real weight against you, if that is what you are after.
- Worth knowing: the neck label is sewn in on this one, not tear-away.
- On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.
Made responsibly
- Comfort Colors is made by Gildan, who certify to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and OEKO-TEX STeP.
- Gildan works with the Fair Labor Association, WRAP, Better Cotton and the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol.

“I can make a statement without shouting”
Read the full review
This was gifted to me, and it’s now my favorite top. It works as a layering piece over t-shirts and vests, and is particularly good for after a workout or run. It’s very soft, nice color, and the badge is really well made. No one has mentioned it either and I like that I can make a statement without shouting. It’s original. I’m pleased.

“Neither of us had seen anything like it before.”
Read the full review
I bought this for my friend who has recently been diagnosed ADHD. She doesn’t know what to do with the news, so i thought the idea of it being complicated would resonate with her. She was over the moon. Neither of us had seen anything like it before. This is just after she washed it to test the embroidery so it's a bit creased, but the embroidery stayed true.

It’s a comfort colors T-shirt. I have a few already, as I like the feel and the colors are more modern than other brands, and have that lived-in feeling. They remind me of tees I had at college years ago, comfy, relaxed, and easy to wear. Just pick up off the floor and put it on :) recommend.

“It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle.”
Read the full review
This was a gift from someone who knows me well. It’s very nice. It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle. The off-white, cream colour is also very handy. I live in a hot place, so I need tees that work with lighter colours too. I would buy more.
