Comfort Colors 6014. Heavyweight 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed so the color lives in the fiber. Relaxed fit, ribbed cuffs, twill-taped shoulders.

A Mother’s Day gift from the grown pilot. The old weather rhyme says a red sky at morning is a warning, and Mom always had her own forecast: take a jacket. Now on the garment-dyed Comfort Colors long sleeve, for cold, clear mornings on the ramp.

About the design

A Mother’s Day aviation long-sleeve t-shirt with a red morning sky in a round window and a jacket on a peg and the line Red Sky at Morning, Mom Said Take a Jacket, a gift for moms of pilots. Printed on the Comfort Colors 6014 garment-dyed long sleeve, soft, relaxed and made to fade a little with every wash, in navy ink on light colors and warm cream ink on deeper ones.

Also on our tee: design no. PG-0191. See the tee.

The long sleeve

Our long sleeve is the Comfort Colors 6014, the same 6.1 oz heavyweight ring-spun US cotton as the tee with sleeves added. It is garment-dyed after it is sewn, so the color settles into the fiber and the shirt feels broken in from the first wear, and it has already done most of its shrinking before it reaches you. The collar is ribbed and topstitched, twill tape runs shoulder to shoulder, the body is seamless, and the cuffs are ribbed so the sleeves stay put when you push them up. The fit is relaxed. It is the shirt for cold preflights, early show times and long evenings in the hangar.

Shipping & returns

Free worldwide shipping. Printed in 2 to 5 business days, then 3 to 6 days in the US and 5 to 20 elsewhere. Made for you, so no returns for change of mind, but anything damaged or misprinted is reprinted free within 30 days.

Care and fade

Most of our long-sleeve colors are pigment-dyed, which is what gives them their depth and their slightly uneven, lived-in surface; a few, Black and White among them, use reactive dye instead. Pigment dye is meant to move: it will lighten a little over the first few washes, then settle — and settle differently on your shirt than on anyone else's. Wash cold, inside out, with like colors, and tumble dry low. Skip the bleach and skip the fabric softener, which coats the cotton and works against the softness you bought it for. Shade variation between one garment and the next, and between the color on your screen and the one that arrives, is inherent to pigment dyeing.

Fit and sizing

The 6014 is cut relaxed and runs generously through the body, like the tee. Take your usual size for the roomy look it was designed for, or one size down for a closer fit. Garment dyeing means most of the shrinkage has already happened. The measurements below are the garment laid flat: body length from the highest point of the shoulder straight down, chest width across the chest one inch below the armhole — double it for the full circumference — and sleeve length from the center back of the neck to the cuff.
