PatentWear’s original Museum Series Color Tools design is printed in full color on a classic pre-shrunk 100% cotton men’s/unisex t-shirt using an eco-friendly water-based ink process, in shirt colors as indicated. The large design is printed on the front only. Some element colors in the design change slightly depending upon whether it is printed on a dark or light shirt.

The Story

Next time you are framing a wall, laying a hardwood floor, or putting the finishing touches on a new cabinet, take a moment to reflect on the tool you are using and its evolution. As with many tools, it was most likely created in the restless mind of a frustrated builder who had an idea for a “better mousetrap!”

The evolution of tool design in America is rich in history. Many thousands of patents have been granted: some revolutionary, some entertaining and others outrightly ridiculous. How many hammers, chisels, and squares have you owned? Perhaps it is failure—and not necessity—which is truly the mother of invention: we are constantly looking for that better, most ultimate tool.

Our Tools design is a tribute to those past inventors and their imaginations, always looking for ease of use in utilitarian improvements.

Sizing | Fit | Care: Unisex T-Shirt

A classic 100% cotton men’s/unisex t-shirt (except for Sport Grey, which is 90/10% cotton/polyester) that gives a rich and structured look and works great for layered streetwear outfits. The durable pre-shrunk jersey knit fabric maintains sharp lines along the edges and ensures your size is maintained throughout multiple washings. A classic fit style means it is not form-fitted at the sides.
Fit type: Classic. Primary brand: Gildan
NOTE: Dark color speckles throughout the fabric are expected for the color Natural.
  • 100% cotton (except Sport Grey=10% polyester)
  • 5–5.3 oz. fabric weight
  • Pre-shrunk jersey knit
  • Taped neck and shoulders
  • Tear-away tag

If you’re unsure about sizing, the best way to determine a correct size is to grab an existing favorite t-shirt, lay it flat, and then measure it.
To get the chest size, measure from armpit to armpit. To get the length, measure from neck/shoulder corner intersection to bottom of hem (see illustration). Double the garment width to determine the chest circumference measurement, and you’ll find it will generally fit.
