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

The library never sold my data. It knew what you borrowed, what you renewed twice, and what you were too embarrassed to check out at your own branch, and it protected every bit of it as a matter of professional ethics, without a subscription tier or a terms update, and the patron in the tee has been a cardholder for thirty years and never once been advertised to. This tee is the thank-you card.

Wear it to the library, the privacy conference, the library board meeting, the bookstore, and the family dinner where a relative asks why the library matters when everything is online. It is a warm gift for a patron, a librarian, a privacy advocate, and the friend who renewed twice.

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 privacy conference. 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 thirty-year-cardholder entry on our book bans and libraries 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.

Common questions

Do libraries really protect borrowing records? It is in the professional code, and librarians have gone to court over it. The patron wearing it has never been advertised to.

Would a library staff order these for the board meeting? Staffs do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do patrons pick? Bay and Ivory. Graphite for the conference.

How does the 1717 fit? True to size, relaxed body. Order your usual.

Wear it to: the library board meeting, Banned Books Week, storytime, the bookstore.

Fabric and fit

Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz 100 percent ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed and soft-washed so it feels broken in from the first wear. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size, S to 4XL in eight colors. Double-needle stitching, no side seams, sewn-in label.

Measurements for every size are on the size and fit guide.

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.
