Description

A premium ring-spun cotton t-shirt featuring an original charcoal illustration of a sulcata tortoise (Centrochelys sulcata) drawn head-on and full body, head thrown back, all four stumpy columnar legs braced wide, with eight hard zigzag bolts thrown out around it.

Every mark is a short spiky scribbled stab of near-black grit, and not one of them is solid, so the shirt itself shows through as every light value in the drawing. One ink, no outline, no colour. Detailed and loud, made for the keeper who lives with a slow-motion bulldozer. Soft ring-spun cotton, unisex fit, short sleeve, round neck.

The one that ends up covered in substrate

Soft ring-spun cotton, 4.5 oz. Light enough for summer, thin enough to layer under a hoodie the rest of the year. The cut is unisex and pre-shrunk, and it runs true to size, so if you're stuck between two, take the smaller one. Double-needle stitching at the collar and hems, and a tear-away label so nothing scratches the back of your neck. Sizes run S to 3XL, printed and shipped from the USA.

The artwork starts from the real animal, so the markings are the ones your species actually has. Most animal art is drawn by someone who has never kept one, and you can always tell.

Fair warning: this is the shirt you'll pull on for the weekly feed and then forget to change before you go out.

Washing Instructions

Keep the print looking new

  • Cold wash. Hot water is what fades the ink, and you run enough heat lamps as it is.
  • Turn it inside out first, so the print never rubs against the drum.
  • Gentle detergent. No bleach, and no fabric softener either, because it coats the fibres and dulls the colour.
  • Wash it with similar colours the first couple of times.
  • Hang dry if you can. Low heat if you can't, and get it out while it's still a little warm.
  • Iron around the print, or flip the shirt inside out. Never straight onto the design.

Do that and it will outlast a good few sheds.

Shipping & Returns

Made for you, then straight out the door

We print and ship from the USA, and for now we only ship within the US. Shipping is free when you order three or more shirts.

Every shirt is printed for your order. Most leave within about three business days, and delivery is usually another three to seven after that. If you need it by a certain date, email support@brightbison.com before you order and we'll tell you straight whether it will make it.

Covered for 30 days

We'll make it right. That covers a flaw in the print or fabric, a wrong design, or a parcel that never turns up.

Email support@brightbison.com within 30 days with a photo and you'll get a replacement or a refund, whichever you'd rather have. The shirt needs to be unused and in the condition it arrived in.

Questions before you order?

Where are you located?

We're in the United States, and every shirt is printed and packed here rather than shipped in from somewhere else. That's also why the turnaround is measured in days.

Will I get a tracking number for my order?

Yes. A tracking link goes out the moment your parcel leaves the printer. If nothing has turned up a day after the dispatch email, check your spam folder first, then email support@brightbison.com and we'll chase it for you.

What size would fit me best?

The size chart sits right above the size buttons, with measurements in inches. The fit is unisex and runs true to size, so if you land between two, take the smaller one. Still not sure? Email support@brightbison.com and a person will answer, not a bot.

What materials are your products made of?

4.5 oz ring-spun cotton, pre-shrunk so it keeps its shape after a wash. Soft from the first wear rather than after ten.
