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

Respect the picket line. You do not cross, you do not scab, you stand with the workers, and the customer in the tee saw the signs at the door of her usual lunch spot, turned around, and has eaten somewhere else every day of the strike. Union etiquette in the plainest terms, no asterisks. This tee is the etiquette, worn in.

Wear it to the picket line, the solidarity rally, the restaurant that honored the strike, the union hall, and the family dinner where a relative says they just wanted a sandwich. It is a strong gift for a union member, a customer who turned around, a solidarity volunteer, and the friend who found another lunch spot.

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 four words that read across a solidarity rally outside the strike. 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 another-lunch-spot 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.

Is this the same as we do not cross picket lines? Same rule, this one as the request to everyone else. That one is the vow; this one is the sign at the door.

Would a strike support group order these? Committees do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color reads at 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.
