Great minds may all be packed with cognitive gifts, but the mark of a truly great mind is to think, and process differently to typical norms. And for many neurodivergent minds, that's certainly the case. So revel in your ditinctiveness.
Product & 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.
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Made for you after you order — 1–5 working days to make, then 3–5 to arrive. Free over $70 / £60; below that, a standard flat rate shown at checkout.
If it arrives faulty
Damaged, misprinted or just wrong — that’s on us. Send your order number and a photo within 30 days of delivery and we’ll replace it or refund you in full. Not sure it counts? Tell us anyway.
If it isn’t right for you
Comfort is personal, and sometimes a piece just isn’t right once it’s on. There’s no rush to decide — give it a few wears and a wash, and if it still doesn’t suit you, tell us within 60 days. A replacement in the size you need, a different piece, or store credit. Having worn it won’t count against you.
You don’t have to explain why — that’s the Zero Apologies Guarantee. All we ask is that you cover the postage if something needs to come back to us, and we’ll confirm what to send and where.
Do check the size guide above before you order — it has the real measurements, flat and unstretched. Our Gear explains how each piece is cut and how it wears, which is the other half of the question.
Reviews
From people wearing it
Marked “gifted” where we sent the product free. Nobody was paid, and the words are their own.
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.

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.

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.
Lynn F.It's Complicated Phrase (ADHD) t-shirt, White
A gift for my daughter. We both thought it was funny, and liked how it recast ADHD in a more positive light The mug is no-frills, simple, but not too chunky, and is comfortable to hold and drink from.

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.
