The story+

BOOK BUYING BAN: DAY ONE (AGAIN). A graphic crop top for the reader whose ban lasts about an hour: a cheerful 1960s girl in round glasses strides out of a bookstore hugging a tall stack of new books while another stack waits on the little table by the door. A funny gift for the book club, a birthday or Christmas.

The vintage screen-print scene shows a young woman with a high ponytail and round glasses stepping out of a small bookstore door under a striped awning, hugging a tall stack of hardcover books up to her chin, with another stack of books on a little table beside the door, in dark red, cream, mustard and teal inks with a worn finish. BOOK BUYING BAN: sits above the scene and DAY ONE (AGAIN) below it in heavy slab capitals, deep red and teal on the light colors, cream and mustard on Black with a cream edge around the art.

It is a cropped tee that sits right at the waistband of high-rise jeans, in nine colors from White and Ecru to Bubblegum and Black, easy to wear to the bookstore and out. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
How cropped is the Book Buying Ban tee?
The Book Buying Ban cropped tee from Graphic Tees Co. ends around the waistband of high-rise jeans, with dropped shoulders and a relaxed body. It comes in sizes XS through XL, so order your usual size for the intended crop, or size up for a longer, looser drape over your tote bag.
How heavy is the Book Buying Ban cropped tee?
The Book Buying Ban cropped tee is made of 100% combed cotton at 5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²), a soft, substantial weight that is more durable than a regular tee. It is pre-shrunk, with side seams, shoulder-to-shoulder taping and double-needle hems, and it is comfortable for a long afternoon in the bookstore.
How do I wash the Book Buying Ban cropped tee?
Turn the Book Buying Ban cropped 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 print sharp longer, even after a stack of library-sale weekends.
Is the Book Buying Ban cropped tee a good gift for a reader?
Yes. The Book Buying Ban cropped tee from Graphic Tees Co. suits the book-club friend or roommate whose reading ban lasts about an hour, so it works for a birthday, a bookstore day or Christmas. Orders over $45 ship free, and one free size exchange within 30 days covers the guesswork.
Will the Book Buying Ban cropped tee arrive in time for Christmas?
Graphic Tees Co. prints each Book Buying Ban cropped 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, one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery covers it, and we print the new size.
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.
