How does the Excused From Small Talk tee fit?

This relaxed women's tee from Graphic Tees Co. runs S through 3XL in a lightweight 4.2 oz/yd² cotton. Order your usual size for an easy fit or go up one for an oversized look. We cover one free size exchange within 30 days if the size is off.

Which color should I pick?

White, Natural and Heather Stone show the red book stack and the red and green lettering most clearly, while Pink and Athletic Heather give a softer backdrop. Navy and Black carry the same art in cream and gold ink so every book and every letter stays readable on the dark colors.

Is this a good gift for a book lover?

Yes. It is a Christmas book shirt for the reader who would rather be home with a novel than make conversation at the holiday party. Graphic Tees Co. prints it in sizes S through 3XL, and the free size exchange within 30 days covers a wrong guess.

How do I wash this tee?

Turn it inside out, wash it cold with similar colors and tumble dry on low or hang it to dry. Skip bleach and fabric softener, and never iron over the print. Cold washing keeps the book stack, the little star and the lettering looking sharp through every party you skip.

Will it arrive in time for Christmas?

Graphic Tees Co. prints each tee to order, and US orders over $45 ship free. For a Christmas gift or the family party, 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 covers the recipient too.

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.

Christmas Book Shirt – I Have Plans, They're Fictional

The story+

I have plans, they're fictional: this Christmas book shirt is for the woman who has a stack of books, a quiet corner and a polite way out of every holiday party, from the work party to the family gathering and the neighborhood cookie swap.

The art is a Christmas tree built from a stack of five hardcover books that narrows to a little star on top, each book with spine bands on one end and page-edge lines on the open end, the open ends alternating left and right, a bookmark ribbon hanging below the bottom book and a string of round lights looping across. Underneath, I HAVE PLANS. and THEY'RE FICTIONAL. are set in heavy slab capitals: red and green on the light colors, cream and gold on Navy and Black.

Wear it to the library, the bookstore window crawl or the corner of the party with the best snacks, or give it to the friend who is already hiding behind a paperback. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
