The Tralfamadorian

$32.99

It is almost certainly true that, in the search for wisdom and comfort that might help us live our lives, one ought to narrow the search to intelligent beings who live on Earth. After all, it is well-known that aliens and other interstellar folk lack the specific knowledge—not to mention linguistic background and social derring-do—to communicate usable wisdom to us.

Somehow or other, though, one might confront a situation in which humans and other Earthly dwellers can neither account for nor provide guidance regarding events and situations that arise here. Open the gate of folly, regret, and absurdity with one too many questions about why things are as they are, and that gate may just lead to a place where alien wisdom is the most reasonable.

Suitable for those whose own journeys have deeded them at one point to the crisp flames of sorrow, this adornment is inspired by Mr. Pilgrim’s unchosen journey to Tralfamadore and the work of Mr. Kilgore Trout.

Made from combed and ring-spun cotton—a wonderfully comfortable material—the shirt is pre-shrunk, which means it will keep its shape, and the amount it shrinks going forward on its life journey will be very limited. Still, if you like the fit, it should generally avoid the dryer. Heather colors contain polyester and have a more weathered, worn-in appearance. Non-heather variations are brighter and crisper.

Please take an extra moment to ensure proper sizing. To measure, take a soft tape measure and wrap it under your armpits at the widest part of your chest. The tape measure should be snug around your chest and shoulder blades, but not so tight that it compresses your chest. The number in inches is your chest size.
