A grinning lineman in a hard hat and harness gives a big thumbs-up from the top of a utility pole while the rain streaks past and lightning flashes behind him, and the shirt says BAD WEATHER IS MY OVERTIME. This lineman shirt is for the lineman who loves storm season, the crew on a restoration call and the family waiting for him to come home.
The print is a 1950s utility-company scene: a smiling lineman in a yellow hard hat, navy coveralls, red boots and yellow gloves crouched on a wooden pole crossarm with wires and insulators, rain streaking diagonally past him and a yellow lightning bolt in the corner. BAD WEATHER sits above in slab capitals and IS MY OVERTIME. below.
Wear it to the crew yard, the storm-restoration trip or the family cookout, or hand it to the lineman whose phone rings first when the wind picks up. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- What is the Bad Weather Is My Overtime tee?
- It is a men's graphic tee from Graphic Tees Co. showing a cheerful lineman on a pole in a storm, lettered BAD WEATHER IS MY OVERTIME. It is printed on a Bella+Canvas 3001 in 4.2 oz cotton, so it stays light and cool for a hot crew yard or a cookout.
- 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 work gear, 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, and it is not flame-resistant or protective clothing. Wash it inside out in cold water with like colors and tumble dry low to keep the yellow and navy inks crisp.
- Is it a good gift for a lineman?
- Yes. It suits the lineman, the apprentice and the line wife who knows storm season by heart. 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. lineman 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.
