Measurements are taken with the long sleeve laid flat. ‘Chest’ is measured across from armpit to armpit. ‘Length’ is measured from the highest point of the shoulder to the bottom hem. Due to manual measuring and natural fabric variation, actual sizes may vary by ±1 inch.

Soft, lived-in comfort right out of the box. This garment-dyed tee is preshrunk and soft-washed for that perfectly broken-in feel. Plus, the dyeing process uses 50% less water than traditional methods, so you can feel good about wearing it.
This heavyweight unisex shirt is a relaxed fit and fairly true to size.

Thank you.
My wife, Gerri, of 56 years, and best friend since high school on September 4, 1962, when we met in German I class first period absolutely has fallen in love with your shirts. She can wear her favorite furry critters and be comfortable while doing so.
Gerri was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease three years ago. Her outlook was bleak— estimated life expectancy was 3-5 years. Then, a miracle happened. It seems her grandmother had narcolepsy. The Alzheimer’s (which robs sleep, depresses the immune system, and kills by disease that can’t be fought off such as pneumonia) was now confronted by her activated narcolepsy.
They cancel. They are a unique pair, only happening to one in a million pwith Alzheimer’s disease.
Her memory returned. She has total facial recognition and functions independently.
The precursor dementia remains, but that’s manageable. Her only effect from the duo of diseases is long, 12-16 hours, of uninterrupted sleep.
I tell her it’s Karma— she was a Registered Nurse for forty years and helped thousands of patients.
So, to see her face light up when she dons an otter (her favorite), squirrel, raccoon or another of your critter tops makes my day.
I am a ten years retired educator, serving as a high school chemistry, forensics, philosophy, and physics teacher ( the middle two programs my creation for the high school level); deputy superintendent for curriculum and instruction; district superintendent; and graduate school professor at The Johns Hopkins University and School of Medicine, I have had a rewarding career.
Having multiple science degrees, and living in Reno/Sparks, I am now enjoying my two days a week career as a professional gambler.
Life is good and seeing Gerri smile when donning and wearing your unique shirts makes it that much better.
Thank you!

I am wearing the shirt for the first time today. Yesterday was my birthday and it is a present from me to me ! Love the color and the image. Unisex sizing is tough as we’re not shaped the same (!) but Large seems to be right. Sleeve length is great. Maybe a smidge tight in the body.
Love this . 100% Happy with purchase.
Love this shirt. Color is lovely, and the image is perfect!
Extremely soft and as shown

How should I care for my BeCause Tees shirt to ensure longevity?
To keep your BeCause Tees item looking its best for as long as possible, we recommend the following care instructions:
• Machine wash cold, inside out with similar fabrics to protect the fabric and design.
• Line dry or tumble dry on low to prevent shrinkage and preserve the fabric’s integrity.
Following these simple steps will help your item maintain its color, shape, and softness, allowing you to wear your cause proudly for years to come.

Shipping Time: Once your order is shipped, delivery typically takes 3-7 business days within the U.S., depending on your location and selected shipping option.
You’ll receive a tracking link as soon as your order is on its way.
Do you have an in-person store?
We hope to someday open a Bricks-and-Mortar shop, but for now, we just run out of our office/warehouse!
