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

Sick days are not a perk. They are the difference between staying home with a fever and handing it to twenty coworkers and everyone they serve that day, and the public defender in the tee walked out over exactly this, alongside an app that logs when she steps away from her desk. Staying home sick is public health, not a benefit. This tee is worn on the line.

Wear it to the walkout, the union meeting, the city council session on sick leave, the courthouse steps, and the family dinner where a relative says people abuse sick days. It is a strong gift for a public defender, a union steward, a nurse who gets it, and the friend who stayed home with the fever.

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 walkout. 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 fever 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 do people pick? Black and Bay. White for the line.

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.
