Apparently I Am Giving Her a Break: New Dad Gift Tee

It is the sentence said to a father who is alone with his own child on a Tuesday morning. It is meant warmly every single time and it lands the same way every single time, because nobody has ever said it to the mother doing the identical thing at the identical hour. The whole conversation compresses into one dry word: apparently.

A stranger reads work. Covering a colleague's shift, doing somebody a favor, being a good sport about an imposition. They picture a rota and they are sure. The second read is a man being sardonic about a domestic argument.

Set as a daily report plate with PARENT COMMENTS along the bottom, which is the box on the form where a remark like this gets written down. APPARENTLY sits slightly larger than the rest of the line, and that is the only styling it needs.

What it is

• Unisex softstyle tee, 4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)
• 100% ring-spun cotton in the solid colors. Sport Grey is a 90% cotton, 10% polyester blend, and Dark Heather is 65% polyester, 35% cotton
• Double stitched neckline and sleeves, side seamed, tear away label
• Sizes S through 3XL
• Fourteen colors. Seven light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream

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.
