I Like Aggressive Knurling: Barbell Grip Preference Tee

Knurling is the crosshatched section of a barbell where your hands go. How sharp it ought to be is a real, passionate, decade long argument between people who own more than one bar. Aggressive means it bites. It holds a chalked hand at the top of a heavy pull, and it leaves the pattern pressed into your palms for the rest of the afternoon.

Outside that argument, this is a confession. About what, nobody knows, and nobody is going to ask. Knurling sounds like either a rare bird or something you would not say at work, and the sentence is delivered with total calm, which makes it worse.

Filed as an EQUIPMENT PREFERENCE plate with NOTED beneath it, which is the driest possible response to a strongly held view. Three lines, the last two set heavy.

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.
