I Cook for Six People Who Are Not My Family: Firefighter Tee

House dinner. Everybody throws money in, one person cooks for the whole crew, and that person is judged on it for the rest of their career. It is the center of station life and it is the part of the job almost nobody outside has ever heard about.

Said anywhere else, it builds a completely wrong household. A private chef, a boarding house, something faintly odd and domestic that people are too polite to ask about. They are confident and they are constructing the wrong picture, and that gap is the shirt.

Filed as a meal plan with EVERYBODY PAYS IN underneath, set like a sentence somebody actually said rather than like a slogan. Bought by the person at home who has been hearing about the chili for years.

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.
