No Porosity. None of the Other Kind Either: Welder Tee

Porosity is gas caught in a weld as it freezes, showing up as holes in the bead or on the film. It comes from contamination, moisture, poor gas coverage or wind on the arc, and it will fail a weld on an x-ray.

Off the jobsite, porosity is a skin and hair word. So the first line reads as a cosmetics claim, the second line reads as a joke about the wearer's complexion, and people are entirely sure about it. The welder is reading two inspection words in a row.

Set as a visual inspection result. Both lines stay on the shirt. The first one alone is just a term. The second one is the joke.

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.
