What does the Resting My Eyes Christmas shirt say?

RESTING MY EYES, stacked in two lines of heavy full-width capitals, pine green over Santa-hat red, printed under a dad asleep in his plaid recliner. Graphic Tees Co. prints the design on the front of a soft, lightweight 4.2 oz cotton tee, made for the family gift swap and the long Christmas afternoon.

Who is this Christmas nap shirt for?

It is for the dad, grandpa or uncle who is asleep in the recliner by three o'clock on Christmas Day and insists he is only resting his eyes. The Resting My Eyes tee from Graphic Tees Co. is a joke the whole family gets, so it works well as a stocking-stuffer-sized gift or a white elephant pick.

Why are there no dark colors?

The pine-green lettering and the fine linework in the art read best on light and mid fabric, so Graphic Tees Co. offers White, Natural, Ash, Athletic Heather, Heather Dust and Tan only. Every color gets its own photo, so you see exactly the shirt you will receive, with the print clear and sharp.

When should I order for Christmas?

Each Resting My Eyes tee is printed to order, so order by about December 8 to have it before Christmas Day. Graphic Tees Co. ships in the US, and if the size is wrong you can swap it free once, so the dad in the recliner still gets a shirt that fits.

What sizes does it come in?

The Resting My Eyes Christmas tee runs from S to 4XL in a classic unisex fit on a Bella+Canvas 3001, a 4.2 oz combed ring-spun cotton shirt. If you are between sizes, order the larger one for a relaxed, recliner-ready fit, and Graphic Tees Co. will exchange the first size swap for free.

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.

Nap Shirt – Resting My Eyes Funny Christmas Tee

The story+

Every family has a dad who is asleep in the recliner by three o'clock on Christmas Day and swears he is just resting his eyes. This Christmas nap shirt is for him, and the family will be the ones who buy it.

The art is a 1950s storybook scene: a dad tipped back in a plaid recliner with his mouth open, a Santa hat sliding off and his reading glasses pushed up, a half-unwrapped polka-dot present on his lap, a small lit tree beside the chair and a sleepy cat curled on his shoulder. RESTING in big pine-green capitals and MY EYES in Santa-hat red run underneath, full width, so the joke reads from across the room. It is an easy pick for the family gift swap.

Wear it to the family dinner, the office party or the long afternoon after the presents are open. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
