“To recover thy life is in thy power.”Marcus Aurelius · Quote T-Shirt

Monday after a hard year. You lace up the running shoes for the first time since spring. Nobody's watching, and that's fine.

His next sentence tells you how: "Look at things again as thou didst use to look at them; for in this consists the recovery of thy life."

The bracket under "is in" leans on one word: is. It's yours now.

Wear it on day one of the comeback.

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 18¼ 26⅝ 16¼
M 20¼ 28 17¾
L 22 29⅜ 19
XL 24 30¾ 20½
2XL 26 31⅝ 21¾
3XL 27¾ 32½ 23¼
4XL 29¾ 33½ 24⅝

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 center of the back collar to the sleeve hem, so it runs longer than you'd expect.

Fabric: 100% ring-spun cotton, 6.1 oz per square yard. A heavier tee, 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.
