DipaliZ Abstract Pattern Tee Checkerboard Unisex Cut

Squares run the whole length of the DipaliZ Abstract Pattern Tee, a unisex cut-and-sew t-shirt made from 100% Polyester. The checkerboard design works a grid of alternating squares into an abstract, geometric repeat. Panels take the print before construction, so the checks carry over the shoulders and side seams. Anyone drawn to graphic pattern and retro-leaning streetwear will find this a straightforward pick.

The story behind this design

A checkerboard is the oldest pattern trick there is, and putting it on a whole garment turns a flat grid into something that bends with the body. The squares shift as the fabric moves, so the repeat never quite reads as a printed sheet. The look borrows from skate and record-sleeve graphics, where a simple grid has always done the work of a slogan.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Does Black stitching describe the color of the shirt?
A: No. On this listing the Color option names the stitching used along the seams. The garment itself is covered by the checkerboard artwork, so the option is not offering a plain black tee.

Q: What is the difference between the 4 oz. and 6 oz. choices?
A: They are two fabric weights of the same 100% Polyester checkerboard tee. The 4 oz. gives a lighter hand and the 6 oz. a heavier one, and both are made in sizes S through 3XL.

Q: What sizes does the checkerboard tee come in?
A: Sizes run S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL, in unisex sizing, so one range covers everyone rather than splitting into separate cuts.

Q: How is the checkerboard print cared for?
A: Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors, then tumble dry low or hang to dry. Keep the iron off the printed area and avoid bleach and dry cleaning.

Care

• Machine wash cold, inside out, with like colors.
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry.
