Woodworking Saw Dust Humor T-Shirt

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company, founded as a dorm room project between two friends at the University of Michigan, is the proud designer, printer, and embroiderer of the majority of its products completely in its Ann Arbor, MI factory. What sets the company's offerings apart is its commitment to ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices.

Regarding the "Sawdust is Man Glitter" unisex t-shirt, the item is made with 90% cotton and 10% polyester fabric, crafted into a modern, slightly tapered fit. The tagless tag is printed directly on the fabric inside the collar, providing a seamless, comfortable feel.

The ringspun, 30/1 fine jersey knit construction results in a soft, smooth, and durable fabric with a high thread count. While pre-shrunk, the high-cotton content may still lead to some slight shrinkage in the wash. The mid-weight material strikes a nice balance between comfort and sturdiness, not too lightweight or too thick.

Ann Arbor T-shirt Company is proud to use screen printing inks manufactured by QCM in Pineville, North Carolina. These high-quality, vibrant, and durable inks are crack-resistant, with some designs intentionally incorporating a faded or cracked aesthetic. The company utilizes top-of-the-line printing presses and curing ovens made by M&R in Illinois to ensure exceptional quality control.

Importantly, QCM inks are phthalate-free, CFC-free, and rated as carcinogen-free by the state of California, prioritizing safe chemistry. This proactive approach to sustainability places the company ahead of industry standards.

The Ann Arbor T-shirt Company's commitment to ethical manufacturing extends to its workforce. Employees receive fair wages, healthcare benefits, 401(k) matching, and catered meals. This investment in people results in high-quality products, as happy and engaged workers produce cooler art, better prints, and more exacting quality control.

From the materials to the printing process to the employee benefits, the Ann Arbor T-shirt Company's "Sawdust is Man Glitter" unisex t-shirt exemplifies the company's dedication to crafting fun, expressive apparel through sustainable and ethical means. Visitors to the Ann Arbor area are encouraged to stop by for a free tour to see the company's operations firsthand.
