In ADULT sizes!

The fiercest combination to walk the Earth: a will of steel...and a heart that is willing to be broken.

Spending their strength and power to defend the smallest and weakest, wearers of the TENACITY Tee know mama-bear love has little to do with biology and everything to do with a willingness to rise up and say, “Not on my watch.”

BLACK - 100% GOTS Certified Organic Cotton
CHARCOAL - 60% GOTS* Organic Cotton / 40% Recycled Polyester
Stain-hiding colours
Fair Trade handmade, WFTO certified
Made by JOYYA, in Kolkata, India

Your family can love the stories behind these tees. Living-wage jobs mean brighter futures; from the farmer who planted the organic cotton seed to the seamstress who stitched the tag on.

Beyond the life-changing gift of an honourable job, profits shared from your TENACITY tee fund literacy classes, workplace childcare, budgeting classes and collaborative community initiatives.

Each t-shirt arrives packaged with a coordinating bookmark to make it a meaningful and memorable gift.

. . . . .

ADULT SIZING: Our TENACITY Tees are unisex t-shirts sized down to be better suited to a Mama Bear fit. (Ex: a MEDIUM Tenacity is a unisex/men's SMALL)

If you're buying for a Papa Bear, or prefer a looser fit, please remember to SIZE UP.

. . . . .

Birth of the TENACITY Tee

The TENACITY Tee was originally created in support of our friend Marissa Froese during her battle with breast cancer. Marissa was an early Author-inspiration in the daily living out of her belief that everyday purchases are an opportunity to "love our distant neighbour".

We continue to be inspired by her example of generosity, creativity, and her desire to show hospitality and kindness to neighbours near and far.

Marissa left this earth in December 2023 but leaves a legacy of life-well-lived in the service of others. The fruits of Marissa's work live on through her family and friends - and can also be enjoyed through her gluten-free cookbooks and sourdough course, available at Wyndelin.ca

Not sure what size to order?

illustration of how to measure chest and length of a t-shirt to choose correct sizing

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful and honored to have this shirt

I have seen my dear friend rock this shirt and discovered after her passing that it was created in her honor. Opening up my package I was so excited and had a moment just seeing how all the details were so honouring: to her, Missy…to me the customer…the care and thoughtfulness was obvious but I loved knowing that the heart beat of this small biz is to honor the workers and the working conditions and organic farm practices. I learned all these things as I opened my T shirt (which fits!!! It’s soft!! I love it!!) but more than those things I will wear it and think of my dear dear Missy. Thank you so much Author clothing!

Perfect tee!

I LOVE everything about my new TENACITY tee - it fits, feels and looks great. I'm tall and find it difficult to find tops that don't end up looking like a crop after a wash, and this tee is absolutely the best length! Thank you so much for a beautiful product that I can enjoy wearing, and can still sleep at night knowing that the people who made it were treated as I would want to be treated.
Thank you so much !

Fabulous

Excellent quality, my girls love them, first comment "mom it's so soft!" Well worth every penny, style, comfort, great cause and story behind the shirt. Will definitely buy more. Oh and of couse, must mention world class service.

So happy to hear your girls are loving their shirts. Thank you for taking the time to let us know!
