Women’s Garment Dye Cropped Tee - Speak
The choice is yours: Be bold, rebellious, and unapologetic.
This striking typographic design from the 'Contrasts Collection' is compelling and unapologetic. The design represents the eternal conflict between silence and speech with the phrase "bite your tongue" rendered in a subtle font while the phrase "speak your mind" commands in an assertive typeface. The visual dichotomy captures the tension and the choice we face in how or when we use our voice. With its graphic, comic-book aesthetic and a message that resonates, this piece is for anyone who isn't afraid to make a statement—whether spoken or not.
This cropped tee delivers a lived-in look with a soft heavyweight feel from the first wear. The garment-dyed finish creates rich color variation, while the oversized sleeves and boxy fit give it a relaxed, modern shape that’s easy to style. • 100% ring-spun cotton • Fabric weight: 6.5 oz./yd.² (220 g/m²) • Cropped, boxy fit • Oversized sleeves • Side-seamed construction • Double-needle cover-stitched seams • Soft garment-dyed finish with subtle color variation

Direct-to-Garment (DTG) Printing Disclaimers:
White ink is not printed on white garments.
Light ink elements on bright-colored garments may appear tinted due to the curing process and product dye. This is most evident in Red, Maroon, and other similarly-colored garments.
Graphics with hard lines or symmetrical shapes may have slight variations due to the manual printing processes, and a minimal shrinkage per print location is possible due to different material compositions.
Any minor discoloration of the product or stains around the printed image will disappear after the first wash.
Some smaller youth/women products can have their inside labels positioned a bit lower than typical due to a printing process limitation.
Color Matching Disclaimer:
Our print-on-demand vendors use a Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing process. This is designed to produce high-quality results, but it is important to understand that the colors in your design may appear differently on the final product than they do on your screen. Even with a calibrated monitor, various factors can influence how colors look when printed.
We cannot guarantee 100% color accuracy.
Factors affecting color appearance:
Fabric type and garment color - The material and color of the garment can impact how the design’s colors appear. For example, the same color value may look slightly different when printed on 100% cotton compared to a fabric blend. Similarly, colors can vary when printed on light versus dark-colored garments.
White under base application - To ensure vibrant colors on colored garments, a white under base layer beneath the print is applied. This under base can affect how colors appear, especially when comparing prints on garments with and without this layer. Keep in mind that even photos of printed products may not perfectly represent the actual colors. Referencing these photos is helpful, but it’s not a substitute for seeing products in-person.
Color profiles and design settings - To get the best outcome for prints, we make sure that the color values in our designs are compatible with the color profiles the printers use.
Fabric smell:
If you just unpacked a shirt or hoodie and noticed a vinegar-like smell or a light off-white residue on the fabric, don’t worry. This is a normal part of the Direct-to-Garment (DTG) printing process. That scent comes from a fixation agent, also known as pretreatment. It's used to help the ink bond with the fabric so your design doesn't flake or fade. It is temporary and both the smell and the residue will disappear completely after the first wash. Many print-on-demand companies include a note about this on their packing slip in every DTG order, so there are no surprises.
