The sea serpent Bakunawa coiled around a full moon, with a small island village banging pots inside the ring, painted in full colour on a Comfort Colors tee.
The shirt is dyed after it's sewn, so the colour settles slightly differently on every one, and the print softens with it.
It's a big full-colour print on a dark shirt, so it has a little more body than our smaller designs, and it softens with every wash.
In Philippine myth the Bakunawa rose from the sea to swallow the moon, and the villages banged pots until it let go. Every eclipse, same noise.
On a clear night when the full moon rises orange.
Bea tells the whole story in "The Filipino Dragon That Ate the Moon, and Why a Whole Island Screamed It Back" on Mythwild Tales.
True to size. Size up if you want more room.
Comfort Colors 1717: 6.1 oz garment-dyed cotton, 100% ring-spun and pre-shrunk. No side seams, double-stitched, relaxed unisex fit. Soft on day one, softer by wash twenty.
Garment dyeing means every batch takes the colour a little differently, so no two shirts are quite alike. Much like the creatures.
Care: wash cold and inside out, keep it out of the dryer, no bleach, no dry cleaning. It keeps its colour longest if you're gentle with it.
Relaxed unisex fit, S to 4XL, roomy without being a tent. Between sizes? Go up if you like it slouchy, stay put if you like it fitted.

Nothing is made until you order it, so no shirt sits in a warehouse wondering if anyone wants it. We print it in the US in 2 to 5 business days, then it usually reaches you 5 to 8 business days later. Free US shipping over $75.

Choosing a size
The 1717 is a relaxed, boxy cut with no side seams. If you are between sizes, or you want a looser drape, size up. It is pre-shrunk, so it will not change much in the wash.
The easiest way to get it right is to measure a t-shirt you already like wearing and match it to the chest width above.
Why Comfort Colors 1717
Soft as an old legend. From the first wear.
Every Mythwild design is printed on a heavyweight, garment-dyed cotton tee. Soft enough for a lazy Sunday, roomy enough for whatever quest the day throws at you.
Cotton with some heft
100% ring-spun cotton at 6.1 oz. It has real weight to it, without giving up an ounce of softness.
Colour with a lived-in feel
Garment-dyed after it's sewn, so every shirt takes the colour a little differently. No two quite alike, much like the creatures.
Room to roam
A relaxed unisex cut with room through the body. No side seams, double-stitched to last.

Before you set off
A few good questions.
Still deciding? Ask us anything. A real person answers.
How long will my shirt take to arrive?
Every shirt is printed when you order it. Printing and packing take 2 to 5 business days, then delivery usually takes 5 to 8 business days. Allow a little longer in November and December.
How much is shipping?
Standard shipping is a flat $4.87 per order, however many shirts you buy. Economy is $3.99 for one shirt, a little slower. Orders of $75 or more ship free, applied automatically at checkout. We ship within the United States only for now.
How do the shirts fit?
Comfort Colors 1717 has a relaxed unisex fit. Measure a shirt you already own and love, then match it to the size chart. Want it oversized? Go one size up.
What if something's wrong with my order?
If the wrong item arrived, it arrived damaged, or there's a fault in the print or the shirt, we'll refund or replace it. Email us within 30 days of delivery with your order number and a photo. Because every shirt is printed to order, we can't take change-of-mind returns.
How do I care for my shirt?
Wash it cold and inside out, and keep it out of the dryer. Don't iron over the print. Garment-dyed cotton softens with every wash and settles into a slightly faded, vintage look.
