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
S	19½	28¼
M	21	29¼
L	22¾	30
XL	24½	31
2XL	26½	32
3XL	28½	33

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.

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.

Variant

Someone in the comments says you've got it wrong. Your thumb is already typing. Then you read it again, slower.

"When any one contradicts me, he raises my attention, not my anger."
— Michel de Montaigne
Essais, Book III, Ch. VIII, "Of the Art of Conference," 1588. Translated by Charles Cotton, 1685–86. We check every line against a primary source.

He keeps going: "I advance towards him who controverts, who instructs me; the cause of truth ought to be the common cause both of the one and the other."

The crack through "anger" borrows from kintsugi, where a break is mended into something worth keeping. The open circle beside it leaves room for the other side.

Organic cotton.

Wear it to the next disagreement you'd rather learn from than win.
