Flint and Tinder T-Shirt | Premium American-Made Tees
Our Flint and Tinder t-shirt represents everything we stand for: quality American manufacturing, honest materials, and construction that improves with age. We cut every tee from 100% USA-grown cotton and sew it in our Los Angeles factory, ensuring fair wages and tight quality control at every step.
The fit strikes the perfect balance between classic and modern—neither boxy nor skin-tight. We reinforce stress points at the shoulders and collar, so these tees hold their shape through years of regular wear and washing. The fabric weight provides structure without feeling stiff, draping naturally across the chest and shoulders while maintaining enough body to tuck or wear untucked with confidence.

- Made in Los Angeles, California with fair labor practices
- Reinforced shoulder seams and collar construction
- Mid-weight 6.5 oz fabric—substantial without being heavy

Premium American Cotton Construction
We source every yard of fabric from American cotton growers who meet strict quality standards for fiber length and strength. Longer cotton fibers create a smoother, more durable fabric that resists pilling and maintains its integrity through countless wash cycles.
Our manufacturing partner in Los Angeles has been producing garments for over three decades. They cut each Flint and Tinder t-shirt using precision dies that minimize fabric waste, then sew every seam with reinforced stitching at stress points. This attention to detail means your tee won’t develop holes at the collar or separated shoulder seams after a few months of wear.
Fit and Sizing Guide
Our t-shirts follow a contemporary regular fit that works for most body types without the extreme tailoring of modern slim fits. The shoulder seam sits at your natural shoulder point, and the body provides enough room through the chest and waist to move comfortably without excess fabric bunching.
Size Selection
We pre-shrink all our tees, so order your normal size with confidence. If you typically wear a medium in quality brands like Patagonia or L.L.Bean, our medium will fit you well. The sleeves fall midway down the bicep—long enough to look proportional but short enough to show some arm.
Care Instructions for Longevity
Machine wash your Flint and Tinder t-shirt in cold water with like colors. We recommend turning the tee inside out before washing to protect the exterior fabric from abrasion and preserve color vibrancy. Skip the fabric softener—it can break down cotton fibers over time and reduce the fabric’s natural breathability.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry for maximum longevity. High heat can cause unnecessary wear on the fibers and may lead to slight additional shrinkage over many wash cycles. If you notice minor wrinkles after drying, a quick steam or low-iron touch-up will smooth them out.

We manufacture every Flint and Tinder t-shirt in Los Angeles from 100% USA-grown cotton, ensuring fair wages and consistent quality control. The 6.5 oz mid-weight fabric resists pilling and maintains shape far longer than standard retail tees. We reinforce stress points at the collar and shoulders, which prevents the common problems of stretched collars and separated seams. Most customers report wearing our tees regularly for five years or more, making the cost-per-wear significantly lower than cheaper alternatives you'd need to replace every season.
We pre-shrink all our tees during manufacturing, so you can expect minimal additional shrinkage—typically less than half an inch in length after your first wash. We recommend washing in cold water and tumble drying on low heat or hang drying to maximize longevity. The fabric is stabilized to maintain its size and shape through regular laundering.
With proper care, our tees commonly last five years or more of regular wear. The heavyweight construction, reinforced stitching, and quality American cotton resist the common failure points you see in standard retail tees—stretched collars, shoulder holes, and thinning fabric. Many customers report that our tees actually improve with age, developing a soft lived-in feel while maintaining their structural integrity and shape.
We offer six core colors year-round: white, black, navy, heather grey, olive, and burgundy. These versatile shades form the foundation of any wardrobe and pair easily with jeans, chinos, and shorts. We also release seasonal colors throughout the year in limited quantities. All our dyes use a fade-resistant process that maintains color vibrancy through countless wash cycles.
While our tees are made from breathable 100% cotton, they're designed primarily as everyday casual wear rather than performance athletic gear. The mid-weight fabric works well for light physical activity like casual hiking or yard work, but moisture-wicking synthetic blends perform better for intense workouts. Many customers wear our tees to the gym for lifting, but prefer technical fabrics for cardio activities.
Our standard premium t-shirt features 6.5 oz cotton with a contemporary regular fit, offering excellent everyday versatility. The heavyweight tee uses 7 oz cotton with a slightly boxier, workwear-inspired cut and includes a left chest pocket. Both are made in the USA from American cotton with reinforced construction, so the choice comes down to your preference for weight, fit style, and pocket functionality.
