Help! My Legs Say Retire — Tee

My legs called HR and asked about retirement.

Twelve hours on your feet. Concrete floor. The compression socks doing what they can, but the knees and the lower back are, frankly, in active negotiation with your spinal cord. The legs have, in fact, called HR. The legs have left a voicemail. The legs are reading the union contract. The body is breaking down on a defined schedule and only you, somehow, are the last one to find out.

What you're getting

• Material. Soft-hand cotton/poly blend. Holds shape after wash 47, the 0700 vomit splash, and a year of being used as backup pajamas.
• Fit. Unisex true-to-size. Size up if you want post-shift-nap fit. Size down if you want "I went to the gym between shifts" energy that's a complete lie.
• Print. DTG, soft on skin. The joke holds up wash after wash, even after that one time you slept in it without showering after a 16-hour ICU run.
• Care. Cold wash. Tumble dry low. Built for nurses, washed like a nurse — frequently, with intent, and occasionally with hospital-grade detergent.

Send it to

For the veteran nurse who has been on her feet for 19 years and has the X-rays to prove it. For the new grad who's about to find out. For yourself, every shift, on schedule.

Pairs with

Pairs with the matching sweatshirt for the day the AC at the nurses' station gives up. Add the 3" sticker for $6.50 if you really want the full unit-uniform.

Throw it on. Sit down briefly. Continue.

For nurses who have run a code, charted "patient resting comfortably" while the patient was, in fact, screaming, and considered — fleetingly, in a parking lot, post-shift — leaving and never coming back. My legs called HR and asked about retirement. Built by nurses, tested on night shift.
