Unisex with a relaxed cut, true to size, S to 4XL. Garment-dyed heavyweight tee.

A bot cannot talk you down. The caller was on the bridge for forty minutes, the dispatcher kept them on the line the whole time with a voice that had done this before, and the county commission is now discussing an automated intake system for the desk. This shirt is for that dispatcher, and for the caller who came down.

Wear it to the county commission meeting on the dispatch budget, the dispatcher appreciation week event, the crisis intervention training, and the family dinner where a relative says AI could handle the calls. It is a strong gift for a 911 dispatcher, a crisis line counselor, a first responder, and the caller who remembers the voice.

The tee is a Comfort Colors 1717, garment-dyed in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, soft and evenly colored, with a heavier hand than a novelty tee and a message with a headset behind it. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. Also as a hoodie and a sweatshirt. It belongs with the dispatchers on our anti-AI cause page.

Designed and printed to order in the USA. Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors. Tumble dry low. Do not bleach or iron the design.

Common questions

Are counties really automating 911 intake? Some have proposed automated systems for non-emergency lines, and the proposals keep creeping toward the emergency desk. The shirt is for the dispatchers who testified against it.

Would a dispatch center order these? Centers do, for appreciation week. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color for a dispatcher? Black and Chambray read calm. Banana for appreciation week.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

Printing and care

Printed to order in the USA, direct to garment: water-based ink goes into the fabric rather than sitting on top, so the print stays soft and does not crack or peel.

Machine wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print. More on the fabric and care page.
