I Talk to the Pile All Winter: Potato Cellar Grower Tee

A cellar of potatoes gets walked from October through June. Temperature, humidity, air, the smell of the room, the sound of the fans. Somebody is in there most days, and across a winter the pile ends up with more conversation than the household does.

Read cold it is a lonely man with an unusual habit, and the reader is not quite sure whether laughing is allowed. That hesitation is doing the work. It sounds like a confession and it is a job description.

Set as a STORAGE LOG label with CHECKED DAILY, OCT TO JUNE beneath, which is the line that turns the confession back into paperwork.

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.
