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

We do not cross picket lines. It is the oldest rule in the labor movement and the simplest to keep: when workers are out, you do not walk in, you do not order across, and you do not take the shift, and the driver in the tee turned around at the gate, lost the run, and would do it again. Solidarity is not a feeling. It is a practice, and this tee is the practice.

Wear it to the picket line, the union hall, the solidarity rally, the coffee shop that honored the strike, and the family dinner where a relative says they just needed the paycheck. It is a strong gift for a union member, a driver who turned around, a customer who ordered elsewhere, and the friend who honored the line.

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 solidarity rally. 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 turned-around 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.

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.
