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

Hold the line. Three words that get said on the fortieth day of a strike, when the fund is thinner than anyone planned, the weather turned, and the offer on the table is just good enough to be tempting, and the strike captain in the tee said them to a line of thirty people in the rain. Holding is the whole job at that point. This tee is the job.

Wear it to the picket line on day forty, the strike fund fundraiser, the union hall vote, the solidarity rally, and the family dinner where a relative says just take the offer. It is a strong gift for a strike captain, a picket line regular, a strike fund treasurer, and the friend who brought coffee in the rain.

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 words that read across a picket line in the rain. 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 day-forty entry in the union and labor collection.

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 reads on the line? White by a wide margin. Black for the hall.

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

Wear it to: the picket line, the union hall, the contract vote, Labor Day.

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.
