"It's not burnt, it's caramelized" is what every Thanksgiving host says with a smile while the smoke alarm chirps. This turkey sweater is for her, and it is warm enough for the kitchen at six in the morning.
The art is a smiling 1950s hostess in a polka-dot apron and spotted oven mitts presenting a platter with a roast turkey that is clearly burnt, blackened on top with scorched drumsticks and thin curls of smoke, with IT'S NOT BURNT. underneath in heavy brick-red capitals and IT'S CARAMELIZED. in dark brown below.
8 oz cotton-poly fleece in five light and mid colors, S through 3XL, so the linework stays readable. Wear it for the cooking, the carving and the long nap after, or give it as a chef sweatshirt to the friend who always volunteers to cook the bird. Original art, made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.

Questions+
- What does the sweatshirt say?
- This sweatshirt from Graphic Tees Co. says IT'S NOT BURNT. in brick-red capitals and IT'S CARAMELIZED. in dark brown under a calm 1950s hostess holding a platter with a very obviously burnt bird. The joke is the deadpan: she is smiling, the roast is black, and everything is, apparently, fine.
- Is there a tee with the same print?
- Yes. The Turkey Is Fine tee carries the same hostess and burnt platter on a relaxed women's tee in lightweight cotton. Wear the tee for a hot kitchen on Thanksgiving morning and this sweatshirt for the cool drive to Friendsgiving, so the hosts in the family can match without dressing alike.
- How does the crewneck fit?
- It is a classic unisex crewneck in sizes S through 3XL, so it runs a little roomy on women. Take your usual size for a relaxed fit, or size down for a closer one. If the size is not right, we do one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery.
- What is it made of and how warm is it?
- The Gildan crewneck is 50% cotton and 50% polyester fleece at 8 oz per square yard, soft and mid-weight with ribbed cuffs and waistband. It is warm enough for a cool kitchen at dawn and comfortable by the oven. Wash it inside out in cold water to keep the lettering crisp.
- When do I need to order for Thanksgiving?
- Order by about November 12 so it arrives before Thanksgiving. Graphic Tees Co. prints each sweatshirt to order, which takes a few business days, then ships within the US. Orders of $45 or more ship free, and a misprint or damaged item is reprinted or refunded within 30 days.
- How do I wash this sweatshirt?
- Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle. Skip bleach and fabric softener, then hang dry or tumble dry low. Never iron directly on the print.
