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

We are not asking nicely. The polite route got a full run, through comment periods, petitions and carefully phrased letters, and every reply was the same no, and the organizer in the tee has a folder of those replies. Somewhere a request turns into a demand and everybody in the room can tell which one they are hearing. This tee marks the turn.

Wear it to the march after the petition failed, the direct action training, the city council session where the letters got ignored, the organizing meeting, and the family dinner where a relative says you catch more flies with honey. It is a strong gift for an organizer, a direct action trainer, a former letter writer, and the friend with the folder of replies.

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 direct action training. 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 folder-of-replies entry in the resist and anti-fascist 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.

Would an organizing crew order these for the march? Crews do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do organizers pick? Black by a wide margin. Graphite for the training.

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

Wear it to: the march, the town hall, the No Kings day of action, the family dinner.

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.
