If Lifting was Easy, It'd be Called Your Mom | Funny Workout Weight T-Shirt

This t-shirt with a humorous print across the chest is sure to elicit laughter. The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company, comprising around 48 artists, screen printers, art technicians, logistics professionals, embroiderers, and support staff, operates out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. We have company soccer and kickball teams, catered employee lunches, a 401k match, and quarterly company parties around town. While treating our employees with respect is a matter of course, it also makes good business sense. Happy people make better shirts - cooler art, better prints, more exacting quality control, and so on. From top to bottom, our people take immense pride in the product we produce and can't wait to share it with you.

The fabric type is 90% Cotton, 10% Polyester. The care instructions are Machine Wash. The origin is Made in USA and Imported. The closure type is Pull On.

This design was drawn and screen printed (silk screened) with pride by our skilled illustrators and printers in Ann Arbor. If you're ever in the area, stop by for a free tour and see how we make your apparel! The tagless tag is printed on the fabric inside the collar, so you can't feel it.

The shirt has a unisex modern fit, slightly tapered to be a little less boxy than the old style of mass-market t-shirt. While it is pre-shrunk, like any high-cotton product, it will still shrink slightly in the wash. Most people wear the same size in our shirts as they do in all of their others, but you might go one size larger if you're on the fence. The model photos feature the actual shirt on our salesperson, Rich, who is 6' 2", 200 lbs and wearing a large.

The shirt is a ringspun, 30/1 fine jersey knit on 90% USA-grown cotton (10% polyester for the two-tone effect). This means they are soft and smooth with a high thread-count, tight knit made from fuzzy plants grown by American farmers. These are mid-weight shirts - a bit lighter than your mass-market, thick gym class t-shirts, but substantial and not see-through. It's a nice balance between comfort and durability.

We use QCM screen printing inks, manufactured in Pineville, North Carolina. These are high-quality inks - vibrant and durable, and highly crack resistant. Some of our designs are intentionally faded or cracked (see product photos), but our inks always "do what they are told" by our printers. We use top-of-the-line printing presses and ovens (to cure inks) made by M&R in Illinois.

QCM has been one of the most forward-thinking ink manufacturers in the industry, going phthalate-free over ten years ago - way ahead of the curve. They're also CFC-free and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California.
