The Comfort Colors 1717 is dyed after full garment construction. Post-construction dyeing pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in less than 3% shrinkage after home washing. Surface tone variation exists across individual units – no two shirts carry an identical shade. That variation is the point.
The Cats Books and Naps Design
What the Graphic Communicates
The design centers on a cozy illustration of a cat curled alongside stacked books, paired with the text "Cats Books and Naps" in a relaxed, hand-drawn typographic style. The three-item list format — cat, book, nap — functions as a reader’s unofficial hierarchy of priorities, rendered with dry humor rather than ornamentation. The joke lands only if a cat has ever claimed the exact page a reader was trying to finish. Part of the Funny Book Lover Shirts collection.
Garment Dye and Print Quality
The Comfort Colors 1717 blank is soft-washed and garment-dyed after construction, producing tonal variation across the fabric surface that gives the finished shirt a worn-in appearance from the first wear. Direct-to-garment printing deposits ink at the fiber level, maintaining detail in the illustration across repeated cold-water washes. Available colors include Moss, Blue Jean, Berry, and additional Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed options.

- Gift buyers — shoppers purchasing for a birthday, book club exchange, Mother’s Day, or Christmas occasion for a cat-owning reader who already has too many books and not enough shelves.

Why Comfort Colors for a Bookish Shirt
Comfort Colors is a Hanes Brands label established in 1979. The Style 1717 uses 100% ring-spun cotton at 6.1 oz/yd², dyed after full garment construction. The post-construction dye process pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in less than 3% shrinkage after home washing. The soft-washed surface produces a matte, broken-in texture across the fabric face. Garment-dyeing produces surface tone variation across individual units – no two shirts carry an identical shade. A bookish tee that looks factory-pressed misses the point entirely.
All Amo Luz Book Lover Shirts are printed on the Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed tee in the USA.
