The story+

Gifts for mechanics should say what the mechanic cannot: NO, I CAN'T JUST TAKE A QUICK LOOK. It is the tee for the cookout, the church parking lot and the shop on a Saturday, worn by the one who is only trying to eat lunch.

The 1950s service-station style art shows a tired mechanic in blue coveralls and a cap on an upturned oil drum, eyes half closed, eating a sandwich from a metal lunch pail, while three hopeful people hold out their car keys behind him: a man in a cardigan, a woman with a purse and a young man in a ball cap. A rolling tool chest and a wrench on the floor round it out. NO, I CAN'T JUST runs across the top in cream with a dark edge, and TAKE A QUICK LOOK. across the bottom in faded red with a cream edge, so the words read on light and dark shirts.

It works for a wife, a kid or the shop crew wrapping a Christmas or Father's Day gift, and it is a good one for anyone who gets asked for a free look at every family gathering. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
How does the Quick Look mechanic tee fit?
The No, I Can't Just Take a Quick Look tee from Graphic Tees Co. 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, roomier feel. If the fit is off, we offer one free size exchange.
What is the tee made of and how do I wash it?
This Graphic Tees Co. tee is 100% combed, ring-spun cotton (the heather colors contain polyester) at a lightweight 4.2 oz per square yard, so it stays soft and breathable through a long shift. Machine wash cold inside out, tumble dry low, and skip the bleach.
Will it arrive before Christmas?
Each Graphic Tees Co. shirt is printed to order, so we recommend ordering by about December 8 to have your No, I Can't Just Take a Quick Look tee in time for Christmas. Orders placed later may still make it, but carriers get busy in December, so earlier is safer for a gift.
Who is this tee a good gift for?
It suits any mechanic who has been handed a set of keys at a cookout: a husband, a dad, a brother or the whole shop crew. The No, I Can't Just Take a Quick Look tee from Graphic Tees Co. is easy to wrap, runs in sizes S to 4XL, and comes with our free size exchange.
How long will the print last?
The design is printed directly onto the fabric, so the No, I Can't Just Take a Quick Look tee from Graphic Tees Co. will not crack or peel like an iron-on transfer. Wash it inside out in cold water and tumble dry low, and the colors stay bright through plenty of shop days and wash days.
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.
