Care Instructions Pocket Tee — Dark

Wash cold. Return carts. Do not bleach your conscience.

Care instructions for the shirt and for the person inside it, in the same deadpan laundry-tag voice. Do not iron out the soft parts. Expect nothing back. In Espresso, Blue Spruce and Graphite.

The details

• Heavyweight pocket tee with a real chest pocket
• Combed ring-spun cotton, substantial weight
• Relaxed unisex fit. Take your usual size.
• Small patch near the hem with a five-line note to whoever is wearing it
• Made to order. About a week to make, then it ships with tracking.

Why we make this

Somebody held the door for you once. Nobody hired them, nobody paid them, and nobody wrote it down. That unpaid, unwritten job is where Held Open comes from.

The Department collection makes it official, with a straight face. The Department of Small Kindnesses. Certified door holders. A social club anyone can join, a scoreboard where kindness always wins, a daily checklist you can actually finish, and care instructions for the person inside the shirt. Hours: always open. Pay: none. Benefits: better days.

Every piece is made to order and built heavy enough to last, so nothing gets made that nobody wants. Look down and you'll find a small patch near the hem: your job description, more or less. Wear it. Then go hold the door for someone. Consider yourself on the clock.
