Size Guide: Long Sleeves
Please make sure to refer to the size chart provided before placing your order to ensure the best fit.
If you have any questions or need assistance regarding product sizing, please feel free to reach out to our customer support team HERE
This website has so many colorful and clever tees! I am so disappointed to say as cute as the designs are the tee shirts themselves were disappointing. The sizes run small and the fabric shrinks even with care taken at laundry time. I bought the large which routinely fits the family member I purchased it for. The body just fit but the arms on the long sleeve shirt hit well above the wrist bones. Because the shirt was so well liked I purchased a second shirt in the Xlg. The body wasn’t significantly looser but the sleeves were longer…. Until it was washed in cold water and dried on low. Now they are too short again.
I would say if you really like the design always buy larger by at least 1 size and launder very carefully. I will not be purchasing from this vendor again.

I have had so many thumbs up and positive comments when wearing this shirt. It looks great and is well made.
Dear Virginia,
Thank you for your fantastic feedback! We're thrilled that our 'Vote like Ruth sent you' shirt has been met with such positivity and admiration. Your support and the positive comments mean everything to us!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the concept/message of this shirt - as soon as I arrived, I took it out/tried it on/showed my kids…who read it and immediately commented, “well, then, how come all the people on the front still look like White people???” They are 100% correct. UPDATE: After I left original review, company reached out to me with surprise/a picture of what the shirt was SUPPOSED to look like (brown-skinned people) - seems there was an error in the manufacturing process that they were unaware of til this point, so they are working with their printing g company to make sure the error gets fixed, and plan to send me a new shirt, correctly printed, ASAP. Super-glad I said something and esp glad this company stands by its products!
ANOtHER UPDATE: I think the company may need to change its third-party vendor for printing their shirts. Received a new shirt last week with correct colors; went to wear it over the weekend, only to find a big gaping hole in one sleeve. Should not take 3 tries to get one correctly-printed and wearable shirt, esp given that this was probably the most expensive T-shirt I’ve purchased in at least 5 years…

I love my shirt. Because of the way I look now - at almost 92, I wish the words were on the top of the shirt... Or perhaps, since I do not have breasts anymore, I might wear it with it so the words and photo is on my back.... lol lol THANKS.

This was a gift and was very well received. LOOKS GREAT!
What a beautiful soft comfortable shirt. The message is so timely
I like the shirt just fine: good fit, good color, love the sentiment on the front. The care instructions say that the shirt shouldn’t be put in the dryer, if I interpreted them correctly,and this is a bummer.
The T-shirt is good quality. I ordered a medium, which is OK but just barely for me. You may want to order a size larger than you think if you don’t want it to be a bit tight.
Dear Bill,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our t-shirt! We're glad to hear you're satisfied with the quality. We really appreciate your helpful feedback about the sizing - this kind of specific detail helps other customers make informed decisions.
Thanks again for your purchase and honest review!

I bought a short sleeved version of this shirt awhile ago so buying more long sleeved ones as gifts was an easy decision. The fabrics is soft and the message has never been more important. The hard part is deciding on which one to choose! I love the, all. Going on this website is a fun trip down a wonderful rabbit hole!
Dear Jody Pinon,
We're thrilled you love our banned books shirt! Your passion for spreading important messages is exactly why we do what we do. Thanks for diving into our 'rabbit hole' of meaningful designs and for supporting the freedom to read ;)

Shirts arrived in time for exchange at work. Bought as a gift for a consultant. She loved hers. It's Christmas Eve and I am wearing my shirt. Riding in a car so I can't take picture. Like the shirt but for a premium, I am not impressed with the feel of the shirt.
Dear Elaine,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. While we're happy that the shirts arrived in time and were well-received as gifts, we're sorry to hear that the fabric quality didn't meet your expectations for the premium price point. We appreciate your honest assessment as it helps us improve our products.

The printing is colorful and clear and is sure to anger many here in Oklahoma which is why I bought it!!! T-shirt material is sturdy and after the printing and material held up well after being washed. I have my eye on several other items and I know they'll be good buys as well.
Love this, Dana! Your spirit of joyful resistance through literature and truth brings a huge smile to our faces. We're so glad the long sleeve shirt is both making a statement AND holding up well to washing - exactly what we aim for! Thank you for confirming the quality of both the printing and fabric. Can't wait to see which designs catch your eye next. Keep spreading those thought-provoking messages in Oklahoma!

The perfect holiday shirt. Much better than an ugly Christmas sweater. Already have gotten the looks from those who are grasping that Jesus wasn’t a brown haired white boy born in a perfectly clean stable.
Thank you for your thoughtful review, Jodi! We're so glad you're enjoying your shirt and finding it to be a meaningful alternative to traditional holiday wear. It's wonderful to hear that it's already sparking interesting conversations. Thank you for choosing our design and sharing your experience with it.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

Cute shirt. I assumed it was unisex ( should have checked measurements) that a small would be bigger. Definitely a women’s small. Also I would upgrade to premium. Standard is rough, not soft at all.
Dear Afalkman,
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback about the shirt. Your notes about the sizing and fabric quality are really helpful for other customers.
While we can't accept returns since our items are made-to-order, we can offer you a replacement shirt in a larger size and premium fabric, including shipping, for just $15.
Please let me know if you'd like to explore the replacement option!
Best regards,

The colors are great and the shirt is heavy t-shirt fabric, not that thin stuff. The sleeves are a bit long but not bad. That the owl is holding a "mystery" (which is what I read most) helped me decide to get this.
Hi Cheryl,
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're so happy to hear that you love your new shirt, especially the vibrant colors and sturdy fabric. We’re also thrilled that the owl with the 'mystery' book resonated with you—what a great choice for an avid reader!
If you ever need any other book-inspired gear or have more feedback to share, we’d love to hear from you. Enjoy your shirt!
Best regards,
