A Wry Santa Refusal Sleigh Ride Youth T-Shirt

This youth tee captures a universally understood sentiment with a touch of humor, featuring Santa Claus in his sleigh, looking disgruntled, with the text 'SLEIGH RIDE? I'D RATHER NOT'. It’s an illustration that speaks to the joy of staying put, rendered with an illustrator's touch on a quality blank, perfect for a discerning young wearer.

Why You'll Love It

• The unique illustration provides a refreshing take on a classic winter scene.
• Printed on a soft youth tee blank, ensuring comfort for active wear.
• Every edition is custom printed fresh for you using direct-to-garment methods.
• The subtle white graphic ensures wearability well beyond the immediate holiday season.

Why We Designed This

The Christmas Tee began as a counter-argument: that a Christmas shirt could be illustrated by someone you would otherwise pay for a print, printed on the same heavyweight cotton you would otherwise wear in March, and worn on a December walk without flinching. We work with a handful of illustrators each season, pay them fifteen percent, and put their name on the shirt. We release in drops — a few in September, more in November, a small one in December — and we hold the line at full price.

From the journal

Consider how a non-festive Christmas tee reads in January. The subtle humor and quality construction of this piece ensure it remains a relevant part of a considered wardrobe long after the decorations are stored away, transcending its seasonal origin with ease.
