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 asked for your five-year plan, and you said you’re keeping your options open. They looked worried. You’ve never felt better.

"I dwell in Possibility —"
— Emily Dickinson
Poem 466, from the manuscript, c. 1862. We check every line against a primary source.

The poem calls Possibility "A fairer House than Prose," with more windows than the ordinary kind. Dickinson chose the one with the most ways out, and moved in.

The word starts inside the box and climbs right out of it, dash and all.

Organic cotton.

Wear it on the days you say maybe instead of no.
