Garment-dye process

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.

What the Mom’s Reading Don’t Ask About the Book Design Says

The Joke Behind the Graphic

The graphic prints the phrase “Mom’s Reading. Don’t Ask About the Book.” in bold, clean typography across the front chest. The statement is direct – no illustration, no ornamentation – just the boundary every reading mom has communicated without words. The joke lands only if you’ve stood in a doorway holding a question while someone turned a page and didn’t look up. Part of the Funny Book Lover Shirts collection.

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.

T-Shirt Size Guide

The Comfort Colors 1717 fits true to size with a relaxed silhouette. Size up 1 for an oversized fit. The table below lists chest width and body length in inches for all 7 available sizes.
