Does it work for the gym?

It is a regular crewneck fleece with ribbed cuffs and waistband, easy to throw on after a session. Most people keep their usual size.

The art prints in dark ink on Sand and in cream ink on Navy, so the capitals and the script stay sharp on both.

Is the sweatshirt fleece-lined?

Yes. It is 50% cotton and 50% polyester fleece at 8 oz/yd², soft on the inside.

Machine wash cold, inside out, and tumble dry low to keep the print crisp.

How do I wash this sweatshirt?

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.

The story+

Cardio had its chance. Somewhere between the third treadmill "warm-up" and the fourth lap of regret, a certain kind of lifter just stops. This gym crewneck is for him.

An old-time strongman in a striped singlet naps in a rocking chair beside a loaded barbell with a little z drifting over his head, RETIRED FROM CARDIO across the top in big retro capitals and Barbell Club in small script beneath it. Drawn like a 1960s magazine illustration.

Made for the warm-up, the walk to the car and the lifter who would rather add another plate than another mile. Cream ink prints on Navy and dark ink prints on Sand. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
