The Scale Is Always Open When I Am Heavy: Trucker Hoodie
The Scale Is Always Open When I Am Heavy: Trucker Hoodie
The scale is a weigh station, and the sign on the approach reads OPEN or CLOSED as he crests the hill. It is closed all week when he is running light. It is open on the one morning he is loaded to the 80,000 pound gross limit and thinking hard about how that weight is split across his axles.
Everybody else reads a bathroom scale and a diet. They are completely certain it is a self deprecating weight joke, and they laugh warmly at the wrong joke, which is exactly what a good gift line does at the door.
Filed as a trip observation log with NO VIOLATION RECORDED stamped underneath, because he was legal. The joke is a driver's superstition about enforcement, not a complaint about it.
What it is
- Unisex heavy blend hoodie, 8.0 oz/yd² (271 g/m²)
- 50% pre-shrunk cotton, 50% polyester, spun from air-jet yarn, which is what makes it feel soft and keeps it from pilling
- Double-lined hood with a matching drawcord, and a front pouch pocket
- 1x1 athletic rib-knit cuffs and waistband with spandex, and double-needle stitching at the collar, shoulders, armholes, cuffs and hem
- Quarter-turned body, cut that way so there is no crease down the middle
- Sizes S through 3XL
- Eleven colors. Four light ones printed in near black ink, seven dark ones printed in cream
How it is made
Custom printed in the USA. Every hoodie is printed here, one at a time, on a heavyweight fleece 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 White colorway
White on this hoodie reads as a soft off-white rather than a bright white. That is the blended fabric doing it, and it is expected rather than a fault.
