My Morning Starts With a Mop: Firefighter and EMS Tee

The shift starts with chores. The bay gets done, the floors get done, the bathrooms get done, and none of that moves because of what the night before was. The newest person holds the mop the longest.

From outside it describes a custodian, a bar owner, somebody opening a restaurant at six. People build a clear and confident picture of an entirely different job, and it quietly corrects the civilian idea that a shift begins with an emergency.

Printed as a daily duty assignment ticket, five words, flat, with no mop drawn anywhere on it. Drawing it would kill the line. It is a good gift for somebody in their first year, from a parent who has heard about the chores.

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.
