Hanes Beefy-T

Size guide

A Beefy-T is a heavyweight, relaxed cut and it runs roomy. The surest way to pick: take a t-shirt you already like the fit of, lay it flat, and measure it against the chest and length below. Want it closer to the body? Take your usual size.

Chest.
Laid flat, an inch below the armhole, straight across. That's half the way round — the smaller line is the whole circle, which is the number most people know their own chest by.
Length.
From the seam at the back of the neck straight down to the front hem.
Sleeve.
From the shoulder seam along the outer edge of the sleeve to the cuff.

These are the blank's measurements, so they're the same whichever design is on it. Every shirt is bleached by hand, so treat them as close rather than exact. If you end up between sizes or it turns up wrong, one size swap is free (you cover the postage back) — just ask.

  • One of one

    Leaf placement and burn are yours alone. Nobody else has this shirt.

  • Neutralized

    A hydrogen peroxide bath stops the bleach, so the cotton stays strong.

Mugwort grows wild all over Maine, along roadsides and the edges of fields, and most people walk right past it. Corey laid its leaves across a Cranberry Beefy-T, front and sleeves, and misted it by hand. The leaves kept the deep red and everything around them burned to a soft rose. Even from the same patch, no two come out the same.

  • · Already made: only the colors and sizes on the shelf. Ready to ship ones go out in 1 to 2 days; ask for one and Corey replies with a payment link.
  • · Hanes Beefy-T — heavyweight 6.1 oz, 100% ring spun cotton, soft with a relaxed fit.
  • · Bleach neutralized in hydrogen peroxide, then washed before shipping
  • · Wash cold, inside out. Hang dry or tumble low.

Why bleach, not print

  • Zero feel. The design is burned into the fibers — no stiff plastic patch on your chest.
  • Won't crack, peel, or wash out. There is nothing sitting on top of the fabric to come off.
  • 100% unique. Same leaf, different shirt — the bleach reacts a little differently every time.

Why the Beefy-T

We tested a stack of blanks before settling on one. The Hanes Beefy-T — a heavyweight classic since 1975 — beat every one of them.

  • Cleaner, more even burn. Bleach does its best work on pure cotton, and this one is 100% ring spun. The color lifts evenly, so every leaf shadow reads clean.
  • Built to take the process. Heavyweight 6.1 oz cotton with taped shoulders and double stitched hems comes through bleaching, neutralizing, and washing without going thin or losing its shape.
  • Soft, with a relaxed fit. Ring spun yarn makes a smoother, softer tee, and the cut runs roomy — take your usual size if you like it closer.
  • The best colors we found. Deep, rich shades, and each one burns to its own tone — same design, a whole new look on every color.
