Almost There Is Not a Distance: Day Hiking Gift Tee

Every person walking down tells every person walking up that they are almost there. It is never true, it has never once been measured, and it is said with total confidence by somebody who is going downhill. The line is a correction, not a complaint.

A stranger reads a motivational poster, or an inversion of one. They take it as life advice about goals and effort and they will quote it back at you sincerely, which is free volume from a sincere reading.

Set as two lines of plain grotesque with the second heavier and wider, no frame and no ornament. Ornament would push it into genuine motivational territory, and the deadpan is the product.

What it is

Where it comes from

Custom printed in the USA. Every shirt is printed here, one at a time, on a soft cotton blank woven overseas.

Nothing is printed until you order it, so nothing sits in a warehouse and nothing gets thrown away.

Getting it to you

Free US shipping on orders $45 and up. Under that it is a flat $8.00. We make it after you order it, which takes 2 to 5 business days, and it then takes 3 to 4 business days to reach you from a US facility. Most orders arrive in 5 to 9 business days. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the label is created.

Care

Machine wash cold, inside out, gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron the print.

The Natural colorway

Natural has small dark speckles through the fabric. That is the undyed cotton showing, and it is expected rather than a fault.
