Tees & crewnecks

Cut heavy, printed soft

Three shapes, one idea: a thick cotton garment that keeps its collar and drape for years, carrying a print you can barely feel with your fingertips. Here are the weights, the fit, the measurements and the artwork on each.

Why heavyweight matters

Our tees are cut from 6.5 oz ring-spun cotton jersey, which works out at about 220 GSM. Most everyday tees sit nearer 150 GSM: light enough to show what is underneath and to twist at the side seams after a few washes. The heavier knit hangs straight, holds a crew collar that does not ripple, and gives water-based ink a deep, dense surface to sink into. The long-sleeve is cut from the same jersey and finished with ribbed cuffs that sit snug at the wrist without leaving marks.

The crewneck sweatshirt is 10 oz fleece, brushed on the inside so it feels soft against the skin, with a smooth face that takes a print cleanly. Its collar, cuffs and hem are a firm 1x1 rib with a little stretch, so the shape comes back after you push the sleeves up. All three are garment-dyed after sewing, which softens the hand and gives each color a slightly lived-in depth: charcoal pine, washed black and a pale fog that shows the gold ink best.

Fit and the size chart

Measure a shirt you already like

The quickest way to choose: lay a tee that fits you well flat on a table, measure straight across from armpit to armpit, and compare that number with the chest column. Body length runs from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem.

Tees are a relaxed, slightly boxy cut. If you are between sizes and like a trim look, take the smaller one; if you wear layers under a long-sleeve in October, take the larger. The crewneck runs a touch roomier through the body and has a shorter, banded hem that sits at the hip. Garment-dyed cotton has already done its shrinking before we print, so expect no more than a small change after the first warm wash, and none at all if you wash cold.

The artwork on each

Drawn here, separated for the screen

Ridge Howl on the heavyweight tee is a single-color print: a wolf with its head raised, standing on a broken line of lodgepole tops. We draw it with a brush pen so the fur breaks into small, sharp strokes that a fine mesh holds well.

Cold Moon Pines on the long-sleeve puts a full moon behind three tall pines on the chest, then repeats a column of tiny trees down the sleeve. The sleeve print is placed on a separate pallet so it lines up straight from shoulder to cuff.

Den at Dusk on the crewneck uses two inks, pale gold and fog white, registered against each other so the moonlight edges the rocks. It is the one design on this page that gets a flash between colors, so the first ink is dry to the touch before the second goes down.

Washing so the print lasts

Five habits that keep the ink looking new

Turn it inside out. The print faces the drum, not the other clothes, so zippers and buttons cannot scuff it.
Wash cold with like colors. Cold water protects the garment dye and the cotton keeps its size.
Skip bleach and fabric softener. Softener coats the fibers and dulls the ink; bleach strips the dye around it.
Tumble low or hang to dry. High heat is the one thing that ages cotton faster than wear. A line in the shade is best.
Iron on the reverse, if at all. Never put an iron straight onto the print; a warm pass on the inside is plenty.

Do those five things and a water-based print fades slowly and evenly, like the shirt around it, rather than cracking or lifting at the edges.
