FIT & FABRIC

Before you pick a size.

The wearable shelf. Every shirt, sweatshirt, and hoodie in the shop — the pieces you can put on a body and walk out the door with the words still attached.

We treat apparel as the loudest version of what we do. A quote on a tumbler is a private decision. A quote on a chest is a public one. The typography is the whole point, and the goal isn't decoration — it's that you'd want to be seen wearing it because the line on it is one you actually mean.

Pick the line that fits the day.

What are the shirts made of?

Cotton, in one of three forms: 100% cotton, 100% organic cotton, or a mostly-cotton blend. The blends are roughly 70 to 80% cotton with recycled polyester. Cotton is what takes the print and feels soft. The polyester share helps a sweatshirt or hoodie hold its shape, shrink less, and last through more washes. The exact fabric for any piece is on its product page under Fit & Fabric.

How do the sizes run?

Every style fits a little differently, so each product page has its own size chart under Fit & Fabric. All measurements are in inches, taken with the garment laid flat. The surest way to pick: measure a shirt you already like across the chest and match it to the chart.

How do I wash it so the print lasts?

Inside out, cold water, with similar colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Don't iron over the print. No bleach. Heat is what wears a print down, so low heat is the one habit that matters most.
