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

Fog is still lying on the lake when you carry your coffee out. Ten minutes from now it will have burned off. You stay for all ten.

“Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things.”
— Okakura Kakuzō
The Book of Tea, Ch. I, “The Cup of Humanity,” 1906. Written in English, so there’s no translation. We check every line against a primary source.

Just before it, he writes that “the afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos.”

Evanescence means fading away. A sunset slipping into the water, gone while you watch.

Keep it by the door for the early ones.
