The story+
I SPEAK FLUENT RATTLE. A stethoscope on the engine block for the man who hears what's wrong before he opens the hood, a car guy gift for Father's Day, a birthday or Christmas.
The vintage garage-advertisement screen-print scene shows a man in rolled-up sleeves and a work cap bent over the open hood of an old rounded pickup, pressing a doctor's stethoscope to the engine block with his eyes closed, a shop rag in his back pocket and a drop light hanging from the hood, in mustard, faded red, navy and cream inks with a worn finish. I SPEAK sits above the scene in big rounded capitals and FLUENT RATTLE. below it, wider, in mustard on the dark shirts and burnt orange on the light ones.
It is a lightweight unisex tee in ten colors, easy to wear to the garage and out. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- How does the I Speak Fluent Rattle tee fit?
- It is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL. Order your usual size for a regular fit, or size up one for a looser feel over a work shirt. If the size is off, Graphic Tees Co. prints the new size for free once within 30 days of delivery, with nothing to mail back.
- How warm or heavy is this tee?
- The Graphic Tees Co. tee is a lightweight 4.2 oz/yd² unisex tee made from 100% combed, ring-spun cotton (heather colors contain polyester). It is soft and breathable, easy to wear in the garage, at the shop or in the driveway, and it holds its shape wash after wash.
- How do I wash it?
- Turn the tee inside out and wash it in cold water with similar colors, then tumble dry on low or hang it to dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and never iron over the print. Cold washing keeps the Graphic Tees Co. print sharp longer, even with a little grease on the sleeve.
- Will it arrive in time for Christmas?
- Graphic Tees Co. prints each tee to order, and orders over $45 ship free in the US. For a Christmas gift, order by about December 8 so it arrives with time to spare. If a print arrives misprinted or damaged, we reprint it or refund it within 30 days of delivery.
- Is it a good gift for a car guy?
- Yes. The I Speak Fluent Rattle tee from Graphic Tees Co. suits the dad, husband or neighbor who diagnoses a truck by ear, so it works for Father's Day, a birthday or Christmas. It comes in ten colors, sizes S to 4XL, and the free size exchange makes a size guess painless.
- How do I wash this graphic tee?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
