“There is no easy way from the earth to the stars.”Seneca · Organic Quote T-Shirt

T-minus ten, and everyone on the beach goes quiet. Then the sky cracks open. It took a lot of rockets that didn't make it to get here.

Every clean liftoff sits on top of the ones that did not make it. Seneca put the honest version in writing, long before the first rocket.

Under the English is Seneca's full Latin line. The famous motto only borrowed two words of it: ad astra.

Organic cotton.

Wear it on launch days.

Fit & Fabric

Our shirts are cut differently from style to style, so check this chart before you order. All measurements are in inches, taken laid flat.

Size Chest width Length Sleeve
S 19½ 28¼ 9¼
M 21 29¼ 9½
L 22¾ 30 9¾
XL 24½ 31 9¾
2XL 26½ 32 10
3XL 28½ 33 10¼

How to measure: Lay a tee you like flat. Measure straight across the chest, armpit to armpit. Pick the size with the closest chest width. Length runs from the top of the shoulder to the hem. Sleeve is measured from the shoulder seam to the sleeve hem.

Fabric: 100% organic cotton, combed and ring-spun, 5.6 oz per square yard. Dyed after it's sewn, so no two shirts look exactly alike. The faded look grows softer with each wash.

Care: Wash inside out in cold water, with a mild detergent and similar colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Don't iron the print. Don't bleach or dry clean. The color can rub off onto light fabrics.

Each piece can differ from the chart by up to 2 inches.
