The story+

A bored, knowing electrician in a hard hat flicks one breaker with a single finger while the little house beside him lights up, and the shirt says IT'S PROBABLY THE BREAKER. This electrician shirt is for the electrician who gives that answer first on every family phone call, at the cookout and on the job site.

The print is a 1950s safety-poster scene: a lean man in an orange hard hat, orange work shirt and blue pants with half-lidded eyes, pointing at one switch in an open blue breaker panel, a small cream house with glowing yellow windows at his side. IT'S PROBABLY sits above in heavy block capitals and THE BREAKER. below in heavy orange slab capitals, both as wide as the art. On the dark shirts the top line is cream; on Natural, Ash and Athletic Heather it is navy, and the orange line gets a thin cream outline.

Wear it to the job site, the family dinner where someone's lights flicker or the shop's Friday lunch, or hand it to the electrician who has heard every wiring question. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
What is the It's Probably the Breaker tee?
It is a men's graphic tee from Graphic Tees Co. showing a 1950s electrician flipping one breaker in an open panel, lettered IT'S PROBABLY THE BREAKER. It is printed on a Bella+Canvas 3001 in 4.2 oz cotton, so it stays light and cool in a hot attic or on the job.
How does the unisex tee fit?
This Graphic Tees Co. tee is a true unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL with a crew neck and side-seamed body. Order your usual size for a classic fit or size up one for a looser look. If the size is off, the first exchange is free.
Is it a safety shirt, and how do I wash it?
No. It is a casual 100% combed cotton tee at 4.2 oz, with some polyester in the heather colors, not protective electrical clothing. Wash it inside out in cold water with like colors and tumble dry low to keep the orange, cream and navy inks crisp.
Is it a good gift for an electrician?
Yes. It suits the journeyman, the apprentice and the dad everyone calls about the lights. It comes from Graphic Tees Co. at $24.99 in eight colors, sizes S through 4XL, and the free size exchange makes it safe as a birthday, Father's Day or Christmas gift from the crew or the family.
Can I get it by Christmas?
Order by about December 8 and your Graphic Tees Co. electrician tee should arrive before Christmas. Each shirt is printed the day you order it, so ship times vary a little by location. Orders over $45 ship free, and the free size exchange covers a wrong guess.
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.
