- Free Shipping Over $100 CAD
Good things, like wings, come to those who wait.
For those who aren't trying to fast forward through the messy-middle.
PATIENCE Tee wearers know the deep work done in hidden places is growing beauty and strength that will, one day, cause you to soar.

Made for giving. Super soft 100% Organic Cotton tees celebrate who your favourite people are becoming. Each t-shirt is packaged with its own coordinating bookmark to create a meaningful and memorable gift.
Family Bundle Savings. Save when you bundle four or more tees! Discount is automatically applied at checkout.
Definitely not fast fashion. Minimalist, gender-neutral designs on stain-hiding, made-to-last tees decrease cost-per-wear, making it easier to “Buy less, but better.”

*UPDATED SIZING*
Our newest styles (CONTRIBUTION, CREATIVITY, PATIENCE and STRENGTH) have been expanded to include kids' XXS through XXL!
Sizing has shifted slightly for XS & SM.
Please check measurements carefully before placing your order.
Not sure what size to order?
Simply measure against a similar item that currently fits your child and compare with the measurements in our size chart. All measurements are taken with garments lying flat.
Measuring for comparison
Lay the chosen garment on a flat surface, smooth out any wrinkles.
Chest
Measure across chest from side seam to side seam just below the armpit.
Length
Measure from the point where the shoulder seam meets the neckline ribbing, straight down to the bottom of the shirt.
Children's T-shirts
Our children's t-shirts are a standard fit. If your child prefers loose-fitting shirts, we recommend choosing the next size up.
*SIZING UPDATE*
Sizing for our newest designs CONTRIBUTION, CREATIVITY, PATIENCE and STRENGTH has been updated. XXS, XS and S in these new designs are now equivalent to size 2, 4 & 6 rather than 5, 6, 7.
Please check size guides carefully before ordering.

Author t-shirts are cut by hand and sewn in small batches in Kolkata, India by our friends at Joyya (formerly Freeset).
While there may be slight measurement variances between shirts, finished shirts are tested to ensure any differences are minor and will not affect fit.
Shrinkage
A new shirt can be expected to experience 3% shrinkage after normal washing and drying.
Wear + Care
To help your clothes (and our planet) enjoy a longer, better life, we recommend washing printed and dark items in cold water, hanging to dry or drying on a cool setting.
*SIZING UPDATE*

All new adult styles are true UNISEX sizing. Please note, our original adult tee, the TENACITY, is sized down for a more Mama Bear-like fit.
