Embroidered T-shirts

Stitched, not printed: small embroidered designs on garment-dyed Comfort Colors tees, for readers who like their bookishness quiet and a little clever.

Embroidered Book Lover T-Shirts

Embroidery changes the mood of a slogan. “It’s Too Nonfictiony Outside,” “Reality Needs An Editor” and “Late Night Reading Society” read like an inside joke when they’re stitched in thread on soft cotton, which is exactly the point. You’ll also find little reading animals, library love and a few romance-reader confessions in the mix.

Every design is embroidered on a Comfort Colors tee made from 100% US ring-spun cotton. The garment-dyed finish gives each color a faded, vintage feel that softens the more you wear it, and the tubular body means no scratchy side seams. The fit is relaxed and unisex; we suggest sizing up one or two for an oversized, curl-up-and-read silhouette.

FAQ

Should I size up in a Comfort Colors tee?

Order your usual size for a classic relaxed fit. For the roomy, oversized look, go up one or two sizes. The size chart on each product page lists chest width and body length.

How does the embroidery feel to wear?

Soft and smooth. The stitching is designed to sit naturally on the fabric, without the stiffness or scratchiness some decorative details have.

How do I care for an embroidered tee?

Wash it inside out in cold water (30°C / 86°F) and tumble dry low. Leave out the bleach, and don’t iron over the embroidery.
