Birds of North America

T & P Grocery' Tee

These tees are a collaboration between Birds of North America and artist Neil MacCormick. Neil has painted full time since 1984 and co-owns Birds of North America with his partner, designer Hayley Gibson. The original reference photo for this piece was taken by Neil in the Fernwood area of Victoria, and he painted T & P Grocery in 2002. These tees are made in a Toronto factory out of locally milled, medium weight, 100% organic cotton jersey. They can be machine washed and tumble dried. The classic tees will shrink 1" total with a wash and dry, and the cropped tees will shrink just 1/2" total. There is no width shrinkage with washing and drying. Hayley is 5'7" and wears size XXS Cropped Black tee; Neil is 6'1" and wears size XL Classic White tee. These tees fit on the larger side of the Birds size chart, but for your everyday classic T-shirt that fits a bit more generously, they fit 'normally', or as you would expect them to. If you're going by your regular size in the Birds size chart, we recommend that you take a full size down. If you normally take a S in Birds, the XS will work for you in this. If you normally take a 3X in Birds, the 2X will work for you. A tip for fit: if you have a favourite classic tee at home and you'd like the same fit, lay it flat and measure across the chest to find the closest equivalent in the charts below. Everything at Birds of North America is vegan and has been made ethically in Canada since 2007. We have a strong focus on sustainability and strive to create high-quality garments that last a long time.
