Let's be honest — you didn't come here for a basic tee. You came here because you understood the joke before you even finished reading it, because your TBR has a TBR, and because you've defended a fictional man's honor more passionately than you've defended your own.

This shirt gets it. Wear it accordingly.

• Comfort Colors, always. Garment-dyed, pre-shrunk, and broken-in soft from the very first wear — no stiff cotton, no waiting three washes to actually love it.
• Built for one more chapter. Relaxed, breathable fit that's just as good for a reading marathon on the couch as it is for a bookstore date.
• Original artwork, not stock graphics. Every design started as a reader-specific joke or trope before it became a shirt — you won't see it on ten other Etsy shops.
• Colors that don't fight the ink. We choose garment shades that actually let the design pop instead of disappearing into it.
• Small-batch energy. These aren't mass-market novelty tees — they're made for a very specific kind of reader, and if you get the joke, it was made for you.

Pro tip: true to size but relaxed — if you like an oversized, cozy-reading-night fit, size up.

Treat your shirt as gently as you'd treat a signed first edition.

• Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors
• Tumble dry low, or hang dry to help the print last even longer
• Do not bleach
• Do not iron directly on the design — iron inside out on low heat if needed
• Avoid fabric softener, which can break down the print over time

Comfort Colors fabric gets softer with every wash, so this one only gets better the more you live in it.

Shipping

Every shirt is made just for you the moment you hit order — so give us a little time to work our magic before it heads your way. US orders typically ship within 2–5 business days after production, while international orders can take a bit longer to make their journey (usually 10–30 business days, depending on where in the world you're reading from). The second it leaves us, you'll get a tracking link so you can stalk its progress as closely as you stalk your favorite enemies-to-lovers arc.

Returns

Because your shirt is made just for you, we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for sizing or "changed my mind" — so give that size chart a good hard look before checkout. But if something shows up damaged, misprinted, or just plain wrong, email us at support@straightupbookish.com within 14 days and we'll sort you out with a replacement or refund.
