Comfort Colors heavyweight boxy crop tee — available in White and Ivory.
Some things are too true to rush.
This is a shirt for the woman who knows that. Who has learned, perhaps more than once, that the harder you chase something — happiness, peace, the right moment — the faster it slips away. And who has also learned, in her better moments, to sit quietly and let it come.
The design centers on a single butterfly from the hand of Kamisaka Sekka, the celebrated Japanese woodblock master whose 1904 collection Cho Senshu — One Thousand Butterflies remains one of the most exquisite works of natural art ever made. Wings fully spread, rendered in the cool blues and deep blacks of the woodblock tradition, it commands the front with quiet authority.
Beneath it, a poem that has been wandering the world since 1848:
HAPPINESS is like a butterfly The more you chase it, The faster it flies. But if you sit quietly, It will come and sit softly on your shoulder. –Anon., 1848
And there, beneath the final line, a second butterfly. Smaller. Landing.
The Comfort Colors heavyweight boxy crop is beloved for its substantial feel, relaxed silhouette, and vintage-washed softness. Please note the boxy crop fit — it sits slightly shorter and wider than a standard tee. When in doubt, size up for a more relaxed drape.
