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

Immigrants built this town. The bakery, the mill, the restaurant on the corner, half the last names on the war memorial, and the historian in the tee gives a walking tour that starts at the bakery and ends at the memorial and never runs out of immigrant names. Not a slogan so much as a description of the block you live on. This tee is the tour, condensed.

Wear it to the town history walking tour, the immigration rally, the city council session on cooperation agreements, the memorial day observance, and the family dinner where a relative says this town was built by real Americans. It is a strong gift for a local historian, a bakery owner, a memorial committee member, and the friend who took the tour.

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 town history walking tour. 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 walking-tour entry in the immigrant rights 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.

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.
