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

No one crosses an ocean for fun. Nobody risks the water for a vacation, and the resettlement caseworker in the tee has taken down two hundred crossing stories in six years and not one of them began with anything other than a reason nobody would choose. This shirt reframes the migration conversation with one grounded line. This tee is the line.

Wear it to the resettlement office, the immigration rally, the church welcome dinner, the citizenship ceremony, and the family dinner where a relative says they came for the benefits. It is a strong gift for a resettlement caseworker, a refugee who crossed, an immigration lawyer, and the friend who listened to the story.

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 resettlement office. 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 two-hundred-stories 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.
