Fabric is so soft. It is really long but that is okay. The color is perfect and I am looking forward to wearing it very soon. I am very pleased with this shirt and will refer anyone who asks where I got it. Thank you.

Washing Instructions
Washing Instructions
Keep Your Shirt as Soft as Your Reading Spot:
Cold water only. Turn inside out before washing to protect that graphic. Use a gentle detergent because this garment-dyed cotton stays soft when you treat it right. First wash might bleed a little, so keep it away from your whites. Tumble dry low or hang dry.
Drying Instructions:
Skip the high heat. Air-drying is best to prevent shrinking and keep the soft texture. If you're using a dryer, go with low heat or delicate. Pull it out as soon as it's dry to avoid wrinkles.
Additional Tips:
No bleach or harsh detergents, they'll fade the color. Skip fabric softeners, they affect the texture. If the shirt has a graphic print, don't iron directly on the design. Use a pressing cloth or turn the shirt inside out when ironing. Do not dry clean.

I love my new "Reading Since Late 1900s" T-Shirt. It's soft, and the colors are beautiful. It fits well and is not too tight. It is not thin t-shirt material. It will be perfect to wear in the upcoming fall temperatures.

Don’t know what was in my mind when I ordered a 2XL….it is so big it’s like a Moomoo but with some comfy pants it makes a great reading duet! Things that caught my eye online about this shirt is the color and the font in typewriter script and of course its message…we read all the time borrowing from our library system which is FANTASTIC….the fabric has the nicest drape! LOVE IT ❣️

I love the sayings on one bookmark shirts. I love the quality and I love the company. There’s nothing negative to say I love that. We now have long sleeve and I can wear them in the fall and again next spring and I don’t just have to tuck them all away for the summer one for every season
Jennifer H. 5/5 Verified
This shirt is exceptionally soft and aesthetically pleasing. I selected the extra-large size because I prefer a slightly looser fit, and it is perfectly sized. I have received numerous positive comments while wearing it.

Wore my new tee to the doctor’s office, comments from others how their books are always returned late. Was at the library returning my books due tomorrow and she took my photo.

The shirt was too big. Partially my fault as a large would have fit better. Larry Sntder

Reading Since Mid 1900s T-Shirt
Store owner replied: Thank you for the review and the photo! We've reached out to get you set up with the right size.
Loved the saying and the t-shirt is great quality, I could have sized down but I will know for next time. I would love to see a v-neck style if at all possible, thanks so much!
Rita M. 5/5 Verified
The shirt is exactly as pictured, and the fabric is a high-quality cotton. Perfect!
Deborah K. 5/5 Verified
I love the print, but the shirt seemed to run smaller than the other one I got in the same size but different color. I let them know and they offered to send me a new shirt in the size up!!! I was shocked. Their customer service is first rate and I will buy from again, the t-shirts are so soft and the images so good for any reading fan!!!

I love the shirt! The color is perfect and the saying is even more perfect! However, this is a Christmas gift for my daughter, so I don’t know yet how it fits.

Quality fabric and cute sentiment. The package was delivered just a few days after I placed the order. The future recipient will love it! I will likely order another tee again from here soon, but will keep it for myself.
