They Fly Back

The story

Every year the monarchs land in Mexico the same week the dead are expected home. Maybe that was never a coincidence. Walking back always took too long — flying gets you there in time.

The tee

100% ring-spun cotton, 4.5 oz (153 g/m²); heathered shades blend in some polyester and keep at least 35% cotton. Tubular knit, no side seams, quarter-turned so nothing creases down the front. Unisex cut, tearaway label. (Nothing left to scratch at.)

The garments come from established North American and European apparel brands, and every tee is printed to order in Europe or North America, at whichever facility is closest to you.

Printed one at a time, direct to garment (DTG) — the ink sits in the fibre instead of on top of it, so the print stays flexible and won't crack. Best care: cold wash, inside out.
