A soft, garment-dyed tee that speaks up. This relaxed-fit shirt carries a bold, hand-lettered message across the chest—“Books are protest / Reading is resistance”—with a follow-up on the back that reads “Try banning that.” It sits comfortably in everyday life: layered under a jacket at a rally, tossed over jeans for a coffee-shop read, or worn while shelving your favorite titles at home. The heavyweight cotton and garment-dyed finish give it a lived-in feel that ages beautifully, so the message looks authentic, not manufactured. It’s for people who treat literature as action and want clothing that quietly (and not so quietly) declares their values.
Thoughtful details like double-needle stitching, a tubular knit with no side seams, and a sewn-in label make this more than a statement piece—it’s built to last through many washings and many debates. Offered in multiple sizes and a wide palette of colors, this tee adapts to your style while keeping the words front and center.
