What this T-shirt is like

It is a Gildan 64000 Softstyle in ring-spun cotton, 150 gsm. A touch more body than the premium one and a slightly less fine hand, because the yarn is not combed: this is the everyday T-shirt, the one that goes in the wash every week without a second thought. Straight unisex cut, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping.

Read more about this camiseta

The drawing goes on one side only, on the chest, printed straight onto the fabric with water-based inks. It is not a vinyl stuck on top: you cannot feel it when you run your hand over it, it does not crackle when you fold it and it has no edge for it to start peeling from. In exchange the ink lives inside the cotton and ages with it.

Inside out, at 30 °C, no bleach, and never iron over the print.

The drawing on «El cachalote»

The sperm whale in profile: the square head up front, the line of the mouth running underneath it, the pectoral fin below the body, the small eye to one side and the tail spread at the other end.

Where this drawing comes from

The head takes up a third of the animal, and that is not artistic licence: that is the sperm whale's proportion. It is what tells it apart from the round-silhouetted whale everybody draws from memory.

The sperm whale is a very long animal, and on the chest that means a landscape drawing running from seam to seam: the square forehead at one end, the tail at the other and a third of the width eaten up by the head. It sits low and wide, it does not climb towards the neck, so it is one of the ones that fall best on the straight unisex cut.

«Moby-Dick» (Melville, 1851) fixed the way we picture a whale, and what it describes is not a right whale but a sperm whale: the vertical forehead, the narrow jaw tucked underneath and the tiny eye at one side of that wall. Melville gives chapter LXXIV to that head and to what follows from having your eyes on the sides: the animal cannot see straight ahead what is in front of it.

Sizes: measurements, where each one is made and what it costs

Measurements of the garment, not of your body. Take one that fits you the way you like, lay it flat and measure: the width from seam to seam below the sleeve, and the length from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem. These are the ones the factory itself publishes, in centimetres.

What you ask us before buying

Why is its head so big?
Because that is how the sperm whale has it: the forehead takes up a third of the animal. The round-silhouetted whale almost everybody draws from memory is a different beast. Here the proportion is the animal's, not the memory's.
How is it different from the premium one?
In the yarn and in the weight. This one is a Gildan 64000 at 150 gsm with ring-spun cotton; the premium one is a Bella + Canvas 3001 at 142 gsm with COMBED cotton, which is one finishing step more and gives a finer, smoother fabric. This one has more body and costs nine euros less; that one drapes better and you can feel it. Both carry the same drawing and are printed the same way.
How does it run?
Straight cut and unisex. If you are torn between two sizes and want it loose, take the bigger one. The size chart further down is the manufacturer's, not an estimate of ours.
How long does it really take?
De 3 a 4 working days, printing and shipping included — the same lead time the rest of the site gives, because there is only one. The piece is made in the European Union, and that is where the lead time comes from. Above, over the button, you have the exact date for this one. The table below says where each size is made.
How much is shipping?
The page itself says so, above the button, before you pay and for whichever destination you pick in the dropdown. To Spain it is 4.29 €. The amount comes from the same rate the checkout charges, not from a separate list.
Why do some sizes cost more?
Because they use more fabric and the factory charges us more. We would rather stock the large sizes and say so in the table than not have them. The regular sizes all cost the same.
Can it be returned?
Yes. You have 14 days to withdraw without giving reasons — it is not a personalised product, so the right of withdrawal covers you — and 3 years of legal guarantee. If it arrives faulty or badly printed, we redo it or give you your money back. How it is made.
Where does the drawing on «El cachalote»?
«Moby-Dick» (Melville, 1851) fixed the way we picture a whale, and what it describes is not a right whale but a sperm whale: the vertical forehead, the narrow jaw tucked underneath and the tiny eye at one side of that wall. Melville gives chapter LXXIV to that head and to what follows from having your eyes on the sides: the animal cannot see straight ahead what is in front of it. It is in the public domain: the drawing is ours, the material it starts from belongs to everyone.

How to get it right without trying it on: take a garment of yours of the same kind that fits you the way you like, lay it flat and measure the width from armpit to armpit, and the length from shoulder to hem. Find the closest size in the table. It is more reliable than your usual size, which changes with every brand.
