What does the shirt say?

The Turkey Is Fine shirt 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 turkey. The joke is the deadpan: she is smiling, the bird is black, and everything is, apparently, fine.

Is The Turkey Is Fine tee a good gift for a Thanksgiving host?

Yes. The Turkey Is Fine tee from Graphic Tees Co. suits the host who keeps smiling while the oven smokes, the friend who has burnt at least one bird, or a mom who runs the whole dinner. Pick her usual size; one free size exchange within 30 days covers a wrong guess.

Why are there no dark colors?

The soft black linework and dark brick-red and brown lettering would disappear on dark fabric, so we only offer light and mid colors: White, Natural, Heather Stone, Athletic Heather and Pink. Every color has its own photo on the page, so you can see exactly how the hostess and the lettering look on the one you pick.

How does the tee fit?

It is a relaxed women's cut in sizes S through 3XL, made of lightweight 4.2 oz cotton. Order your usual size for an easy fit, or size up for an oversized look. If the size is not right, we do one free size exchange within 30 days of delivery.

When do I need to order for Thanksgiving?

Order by about November 12 so it arrives before Thanksgiving. Graphic Tees Co. prints each tee 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 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.

Cooking Shirt – Not Burnt, Caramelized Thanksgiving Tee

The story+

"It's not burnt, it's caramelized" is what every Thanksgiving host says with a smile while the smoke alarm chirps. This cooking shirt is for her, and the whole table laughs first.

The art is a vintage 1950s magazine ad: a smiling hostess in a polka-dot apron and spotted oven mitts holds out a platter with a big roast turkey that is clearly burnt, blackened on top with scorched drumsticks and thin curls of smoke rising from it, with sage and cranberries on the platter. IT'S NOT BURNT. runs underneath in heavy brick-red capitals with IT'S CARAMELIZED. in dark brown below.

Wear it to the family dinner, the Friendsgiving potluck or anywhere the oven timer has been ignored. It is an easy gift for the friend who never panics. Made for Graphic Tees Co. and printed the day you order it.
