Nobody Backs Without a Spotter: Firefighter and EMS Tee

It is an absolute rule and it is written as one. The rig does not move in reverse unless somebody is out of the cab and standing behind it, and the rule exists because of how much damage a reversing apparatus does to everything that is not the apparatus.

Outside the service the sentence parses completely differently. People read nobody backs you without something, and land on loyalty, having a person in your corner, not going it alone. It is a sincere misread and an elegant one, and it sells to people who never decode it.

Set as a standing order with NO EXCEPTIONS, NO EXEMPTIONS beneath, in heavy condensed caps, the way a rule is genuinely posted on a wall.

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.
