On February 21, 1997, a mysterious man named Mel Waters called into the Coast to Coast AM radio show, claiming to have discovered a bottomless pit with paranormal properties. Waters claimed that he owned rural property just outside of Ellensburg in Kittitas County, Washington, that contained a mysterious hole. While host George Noory was no stranger to caller with strange tales, he found the story of Mel’s Hole to be rather compelling. According to Waters, the hole had an unknown depth. He measured its depth with fishing line and a weight, although he still had not hit bottom by the time 80,000 feet of line had been used. He also claimed that his neighbor’s dead dog had been seen alive sometime after it was thrown into the hole, and radios brought near the edge would play broadcasts from decades ago. According to Waters, the hole’s magical properties prompted US federal agents to seize the land and fund his relocation to Australia. While people have searched for Mel’s Hole for decades, nobody has found it, but if they did, we can only hope they would have a gift shop with cool souvenir designs like this one.
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
All sizes are provided in inches! Please note that variations in sizing of up to 1.5 inches are possible.

Screen colors may vary due to differences in screens. Due to the natural nature of cotton, whites may appear off-white rather than bright white.
There honestly isn’t much to taking care of Direct to Garment (DTG) printed t-shirts, but like any garment, if you want them to last longer than not, there are a few tips.
The first thing people might get wrong is following the instructions on the t-shirt’s care tag. While it may be fine for the blank shirt, you have to keep in mind that the original manufacturer’s care instructions don’t take into consideration the DTG print that goes on top of the garment.
TL;DR: DTG printed apparel should be turned inside-out, machine-washed in cold water, meaning below 90℉ or 30℃, on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent without any fabric softener or bleach. See, easy peazy!
What is considered a mild detergent? A mild detergent is a gentle cleaning solution that contains only surface-active agents. Â All Free Clear and Tide Free & Gentle are common examples of mild detergents. More intense detergents often contain enzymes or abrasives that can damage the print on a t-shirt.
Tumble-drying on hot and ironing can be detrimental to the lifecycle of the print. DTG-printed apparel can be tumble-dried on a low cycle, but hang-drying is also an option. If you must iron, make sure you use a cool iron inside-out to avoid damaging the print.
On a related note, we overprint our shirts to get the unique vintage look that we’re known for, and the first wash may show some slight fading, but this is totally normal and part of the process to get the right look!
