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

Community living is a right. Olmstead settled this in 1999: disabled people have the right to receive services in the community rather than being warehoused in institutions, and the lawyer in the tee cites the case number at every hearing where the DOJ is now reconsidering how it enforces the ruling. A settled right stays settled. This tee cites it.

Wear it to the courthouse, the state house hearing on community services, the law school panel, the disability rights rally, and the family dinner where a relative says facilities have their place. It is a strong gift for a disability lawyer, a home care advocate, a disabled adult living in the community, and the friend who knows the case number.

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 law school panel on Olmstead. 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 1999-ruling entry on our disability rights 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

Is this the same as rights are not guidance? Same ruling, this one as the right itself. That one is about the guidance being pulled; this one is about what Olmstead decided.

Would an Olmstead advocacy group order these for the panel? Clinics do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do lawyers pick? Black and Chambray. White for the rally.

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

Wear it to: the hearing, the clinic, Disability Pride Month in July, the parking lot where someone took your spot.

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.
