Sometimes a funny Tee can carry a useful message :) If you are feeling depleted, pop on this tee and let it do the talking for you.
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.

Marked “gifted” where we sent the product free. Nobody was paid, and the words are their own.
