Fit & Fabric

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

Size	Chest width	Length	Sleeve
S	20	27	33½
M	22	28	34½
L	24	29	35½
XL	26	30	36½
2XL	28	31	37½
3XL	30	32	38½

How to measure: Lay a sweatshirt 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 runs from the center of the back collar, over the shoulder, to the end of the cuff.

Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, 6.4 oz per square yard. Lightweight, dyed after it's sewn.

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

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

Variant

Thanksgiving, and your brother-in-law says the opposite of everything you believe. The table goes quiet. You put your fork down and ask how he got there.

“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.

Later in the same essay he writes: “We evade correction, whereas we ought to offer and present ourselves to it.”

A crack runs through “anger,” mended the way kintsugi mends a broken bowl. The circle beside it stays open.

Pull it on before the family dinner.
