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

You cannot automate a night shift. Twelve hours of turning, bathing, calming, catching and charting, and the night nurse in the tee has done all of it for nine years on a floor where the dashboard has never once lifted a patient. The work is bodies and hands and the hour before dawn. This tee says what the vendors leave out, six words, for everyone on the 7p to 7a.

Wear it to the unit, the night shift potluck, the nursing conference, the union meeting, and the family dinner where a relative says robots will do the hard parts. It is a strong gift for a night nurse, a CNA, a respiratory therapist, and the friend who works the 7p to 7a.

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 night shift break room at 3 a.m. 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 7p-to-7a entry on our anti-AI movement 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

Where does this sit next to the algorithm has never met my patient? That one is the judgment call; this one is the physical work, and both happen at 3 a.m.

Would a night shift crew order these for the potluck? Crews do. Every shirt is printed to order. Any mix of sizes, one order.

Which color do nurses pick? Black by a wide margin. Graphite for the potluck.

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

Wear it to: the all-hands where they announce the new tool, the studio, the classroom, the town meeting about the data center.

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.
