Size guide

The measurements for every garment are on the size guide, taken flat — the garment's own measurements, not body measurements.

Between sizes and want it closer to the body? Take the smaller one. Want it oversized? Your usual size will already do that.

The cloth

Comfort Colors 1717 — a heavyweight tee that people who care about blanks have been choosing for decades. 100% ring-spun cotton at 207 gsm, so it has real substance without being stiff.

It is garment-dyed, which means the colour goes in after the shirt is sewn. That is why the colour has depth rather than looking flat, and why it will fade the way a good shirt should rather than going patchy.

The artwork

Drawn by hand, then printed straight into the cloth rather than stuck on top. There is no glossy patch, no plastic feel, nothing to peel. Run your hand over it and you will feel the weave, not the ink.

It softens along with the garment instead of cracking away from it.

Looking after it

Cold machine wash, inside out, with similar colours. Tumble dry low, or hang it in the shade. Do not iron over the artwork. No bleach.

Garment-dyed cotton settles a little over the first few washes. That is the fabric doing what it is meant to.

Made to order

Each HEREDITAS garment is printed for your order; nothing is held in stock. Making takes 2 to 5 business days before your parcel is posted. Delivery estimates on our shipping page are estimates, and the outer limits are real. You may cancel within 24 hours for a full refund; after that it is being made. If the size is not right we will swap it once within 30 days, unworn and unwashed — you cover the postage back to us and we cover sending the new one out. Because there is no shelf for it to go back to, we cannot take a return simply because you have changed your mind about the garment itself. None of this affects your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Shipping and returns

It is made after you order it, so allow 2 to 5 business days in the workshop and then however long the post takes.

If it arrives faulty or wrong we will replace it. If the size is not right we will swap it once within 30 days. The detail is on shipping and returns.

The story

He took fire from the gods and carried it down to people who had nothing, knowing exactly what it would cost him.

An eternity chained to the rock, and an eagle that comes back every morning.

The punishment is the famous part, but it was never the point. He knew the sentence before he reached for the fire. He reached for it anyway.
