The story+

IT HOLDS. DON'T LOOK CLOSE. A welding shirt for the welder who has held up a lumpy bead for inspection while the coworker with the grinder and the grey primer stands by, for the shop, the job site, a birthday or Christmas.

A vintage 1950s company-newsletter print shows two grinning shop workers in navy and orange coveralls: one holds up a short steel pipe section with a lumpy weld bead for inspection, the other holds an angle grinder and a plain can of grey spray primer, with a bench vise behind them. IT HOLDS. sits above in tall cream capitals and DON'T LOOK CLOSE. below it in safety orange capitals of the same width, in cream, navy and safety orange inks with a worn finish.

It is a lightweight unisex tee in dark colors, easy to wear on the job or at the shop. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
How does the It Holds tee fit?
The It Holds tee from Graphic Tees Co. is a classic unisex cut in sizes S through 4XL with a crew neck and side seams. Order your usual size for a regular fit or size up one for a looser, roomier fit over a work shirt. Compare the size chart with a tee you already own.
How warm or heavy is the It Holds tee?
The It Holds tee from Graphic Tees Co. is a lightweight 4.2 oz/yd² unisex tee made from 100% combed, ring-spun cotton (heather colors contain polyester). It is soft and breathable, easy to wear under a work jacket or on its own at the shop, and it holds its shape wash after wash.
How do I wash the It Holds tee?
Turn the It Holds tee inside out and wash it in cold water with similar colors, then tumble dry on low or hang it to dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and never iron over the print. Cold washing keeps the cream, navy and safety orange inks looking sharp longer, even after plenty of shop days.
Will the It Holds tee arrive in time for Christmas?
Graphic Tees Co. prints each It Holds tee to order, and orders over $45 ship free. For a Christmas gift, order by about December 8 so it arrives with time to spare. If the size is a guess, the free size exchange within 30 days of delivery covers the recipient too, and we print the new size.
What if the size is wrong on my It Holds tee?
Graphic Tees Co. offers one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery on the It Holds tee. We print the new size and you do not mail anything back. If a print arrives misprinted or damaged, we reprint it or refund it within 30 days of delivery, no argument.
Is the It Holds tee a good gift for a welder?
Yes. The It Holds tee from Graphic Tees Co. suits a welder, a fabricator or the shop guy who grinds and paints every bead, from a crew or a family. A tee that jokes about the weld nobody should inspect lands on a birthday or Christmas, and the free size exchange covers a sizing 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.
