Black t-shirt with the The Backup design

The Backup

Always invited. Never first.

A varsity crest with gold laurels and a Santa hat, THE BACKUP across the middle and a red CHRISTMAS 2026 ribbon. For the sibling who gets the call when the favorite can't make it. The Favorite, The Disappointment and The One Who Paid are in the shop too, if the family wants to make it official.

COLOR FIRST:

Black. One of these is wrong.

PICK ONE:

It comes in options. Try not to spiral.

Get it right the first time

Don’t guess. Go find a shirt you already like the fit of and measure that one.

How to measure. Lay a shirt that already fits flat on a table. Armpit to armpit is the width. Highest point of the shoulder straight down to the hem is the length. Compare those two numbers to the table.

Why width looks small. Width is the shirt laid flat, armpit to armpit, so it’s half the way around. A 42″ chest wants a 22″ width, which is an L.

Product measurements may vary by up to 2" (5 cm).

WHAT YOU’RE ACTUALLY WEARING

Cotton: 100% Airlume combed cotton. The soft, smooth kind. Nothing scratchy sawing at you all day. The heathers blend in a little polyester — that flecked look doesn’t happen on its own.
Weight: Light, around 4.2 oz. An everyday tee you forget you’re wearing, not a stiff box with sleeves.
Fit: True to size. Modern unisex cut. Not baggy, not slim, no drama.
Built: Side-seamed so it keeps its shape, pre-shrunk, and a tear-away tag. Nothing itching the back of your neck.
The feel: The design lives in the fabric, not stuck on top of it. Soft the second you put it on, still soft after the tenth wash. No stiff plastic patch cracking and peeling off like the cheap stuff. Yours, and it stays that way.

WHEN IT SHOWS UP (SOONER IF YOU’D COMMIT)

USA: About a week. Two if it’s busy. Quick, for something worth the wait.
Canada: About 1–2 weeks. Made in Canada. No customs, no border fees, nobody knocking for money.
Europe: About 1–2 weeks. Made in the EU, so no customs and no surprise fees.
Everywhere else: About 2–4 weeks. Customs does what customs wants. So do you, apparently, standing here.
Shipping: Free. Everywhere. Don’t make it weird.

Estimates, not promises. The truck answers to no one. Full terms if you’re the reading type: Shipping & delivery.

YOU'LL PROBABLY IGNORE THESE TOO.
