“Uphill Was Understated” — Unisex Longsleeve T-shirt

Classic unisex fit with rib-knit cuffs and taped neck and shoulders. Solid colours are 100% cotton; fibre content can vary by colour. Heavyweight 6.0 oz/yd² (203 g/m²) jersey.

Design story & product details

The rust-red jersey against the cold slate-blue bike is what sold me: warm effort on cool steel. On this longsleeve tee, a painted cyclist grits his teeth and sweats off his chin as the road coils straight up a grey-violet cliff, and his wheels bend right along with it. Below him, Uphill Was Understated climbs the slope in worn charcoal letters, the dry joke every climber makes at the summit.

It suits the cyclist dad who still attacks every hill on the Saturday group ride.
