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

Ask your neighbor first. Somebody four doors down owns the ladder, knows the plumber worth calling and has done this exact repair twice, and the person in the tee borrowed the ladder on Saturday instead of buying one. Nobody on the block has to be an expert, somebody just has to be willing. The help is already here and it costs a conversation.

Wear it to the hardware store you did not need to go to, the block party, the tool library, the neighborhood association, and the family dinner where a relative asks how much the repair cost. It is a warm gift for a new homeowner, a tool library volunteer, a block captain, and the neighbor with the ladder.

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 three lines that read across a driveway with a borrowed ladder in 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. It is the ladder entry on our mutual aid and solidarity 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.

Which color do neighbors pick? Chambray and Bay. Graphite for the repair.

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

Wear it to: the mutual aid drop-off, the block party, the picket line, the church basement.

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.
