Description

One of Shakespeare’s boldest stage directions, set in an ornate cartouche: “Enter Time, the Chorus.” A radiant sun face and a crescent moon sweep across a celestial dial etched with stars. Streaming ribbons and scrolling acanthus wrap around it, with an hourglass at its center. In The Winter’s Tale (Act 4, Scene 1), Time himself walks onstage and leaps the story forward sixteen years. He carries the play from winter’s tragedy into spring’s renewal.

  • Made using 100% ring-spun US cotton for long-lasting comfort.
  • Unisex sizing, relaxed fit. Check sizing chart for exact dimensions.
  • Comfort Colors® 1717 shirt.

Washing Instructions

These shirts are made to last, and a little love goes a long way in keeping them that way.

  • Wash cold with like colors — it's gentler on the fabric and helps the colors stay true
  • Turn it inside out before tossing it in — this protects the print and keeps things looking fresh
  • Tumble dry on low — or lay flat to dry if you want to be extra careful
  • Avoid ironing  —  shake it out and hang it straight from the dryer to keep wrinkles away
  • Skip bleach, fabric softener, and the dry cleaner — none of these are friends to your shirt

Customer photo review of Oscar Wilde Truth Mirror T-Shirt

I ordered a medium based on the size chart and models on your website. When it arrived it seemed a little too small. I had to stretch the neck a bit, but now it’s perfect. I’ll be sure to wash it in cold water and not put it in the dryer. It’s very soft and I love the color. The Importance of Being Earnest is my favorite play, so I love the quote!

Customer photo review of Shakespeare Exit Pursued By Bear T-Shirt

This is a fantastic shirt—soft, comfortable, and perfectly fitted, with high-quality printing. For me, this shirt featuring Shakespeare's famous stage direction from Act III of The Winter's Tale—"EXIT, pursued by a bear"—is the ideal reminder of my experience on a motorcycle trip riding on a rain-soaked Blue Ridge Parkway a few years ago. A black bear ran across the road right in front of me -- so close that my friend riding on the motorcycle behind me thought I hit it. I locked the brakes, and the bear looked back at me. Then I released the brakes, swerved, and somehow kept the bike upright while missing the bear by inches. I immediately broke out in laughter inside my helmet, knowing I was safe, the bear was safe, and I had the best story of our trip. I'll think of that experience every time I wear this shirt, which will be often.

Received my Tee in a timely manner. It is of good quality and I love it. I do wish I had gotten a smaller size, but better a little big than too tight! I highly recommend.

Was a gift for a daughter who is an elementary teacher. She’s a true believer in The Oxford Comma and was happy to wear this good quality design and shirt. Liked the many color choices offered.

The shirt is made from quality cotton. The design is screen printed not ironed on, which is great, and the sizing is ample. I’m very pleased with this shirt.

Oxford Comma Preservation Society Badge T-Shirt

I have now ordered 3 shirts, and I love them all. Two are for my daughter and size small. I got them for her for Christmas. For myself, I love my Oxford Comma Preservation Society tee. I spent 10 years as a college English instructor. I tried my best, but some of my students thought I was making it up. My wife and I attended a performance at a local theater, the title of which was "Exit Pursued by a Bear." It was an improv piece but I loved the title and had no idea where it came from until I googled it. I will be buying several more shirts for both Christmas and 2 October birthdays. I love your products.

Shakespeare Sonnet 73 T-Shirt

First time buyer. I love these tees. I bought 3. The designs are beautiful and the material soft. Unfortunately, they’re one big wrinkle and need to be ironed. I hope they’ll smooth out after a couple of washings. Would buy again.
