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

Show up early, stay late. Somebody sets the chairs out before anyone arrives and somebody is still there with a broom after the good part is over, and that unglamorous hour on each end is most of what holds a thing together. Turnout is the photo; setup and cleanup are the work. This tee belongs to whoever does both.

Wear it to the event you are setting up, the rally you are cleaning up, the church basement, the union hall, and the family dinner where a relative arrived exactly on time. It is a warm gift for a volunteer coordinator, a stage manager, a church deacon, and the friend with the broom.

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 hall with the chairs half out. Direct-to-garment. It bonds with the cotton, and the cotton survives the folding chairs.

Unisex, relaxed, true to size. S through 4XL. Colors: Black, White, Bay, Blossom. Also Chambray, Graphite, Ivory, Banana. It is the chairs-and-broom entry on our mutual aid and solidarity 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.

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.
