The Dish Pit Decides: Restaurant Dish and Kitchen Crew Tee

When dish goes down, the building goes down. No saute pans, no plates, no glassware, no service. Every cook in the room knows it, every manager has learned it the hard way at least once, and dish is still the lowest paid position on the floor.

Out of context it sounds ominous. A gravel pit, a mosh pit, an oracle, a band having a very bad night. It reads like a threat printed on a heavy record sleeve, which is precisely how the design is set.

Heavy condensed capitals, full front, with a double rule under the second line. This is the one line here set like a tour shirt, because the wrong reading is worth committing to. It is also the most underserved gift in the trade. Nobody makes anything for these people.

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.
