This cute, vintage "Putting the Fun in Functional" occupational therapy shirt is the perfect tee for occupational therapists, OT assistances, OT students, or pediatric occupational therapists! PRODUCTION & SHIPPING All of our shirts are made to order, which means they are specially made just for you! Production time is typically 1 to 3 business days (2 business days on average), and shipping time is typically 2 to 5 business days (3 business days on average). SIZE & FIT Our relaxed-fit tee (Bella + Canvas style 3001) is a super soft, comfy, and trendy unisex style that runs slightly small for men and slightly large for women. For women, if you'd like a more fitted style, we suggest ordering a size down, and if you'd like an oversized look, we suggest ordering a size up. Please refer to the size chart in our photos for exact dimensions. DETAILS & FABRIC **PLEASE NOTE** Due to variations in the fabric/material of heather-colored shirts vs. solid-colored shirts and the style of printing we use to create our shirts (direct to garment), the colors of the design are slightly faded on heather-colored shirts compared to solid-colored shirts, giving the heather-colored shirts a more vintage look. That being said, if you'd like a more vibrant print, we suggest ordering the shirt in a solid color :) • Solid Colors: 100% ring-spun cotton • Heather Colors: 52% soft cotton 48% polyester blend • Soft, light fabric (4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²)) CARE INSTRUCTIONS • Machine wash inside out with similar colors • Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry • Non-chlorine bleach only • Do not dry clean PRINTING METHOD Our shirts are printed using direct to garment (DTG) printing. At Harper and Bella, we strive to provide our customers with the best quality items. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us :)
