The Stay Golden shirt is $24, cut as a unisex tee in XS through 3XL, and printed only after you order it. It came out of the Yellow versus Blue standings deadlock, and every dollar of profit on this one goes to Yellow, the human in the costume, not the brand.
What you get for $24
- 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (heather colors contain polyester)
- Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²), light enough for summer wear
- Pre-shrunk, so the length you get on day one is the length you keep
- Side-seamed construction with shoulder-to-shoulder taping
- Blanks sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US
One honest note: the fabric is slightly sheer and can read see-through in lighter colors or under bright light. Ash is the color most people pick for this graphic.
Fit and sizing
This shirt runs true to size with a regular fit through the body, so most people order their normal tee size. If you like a roomier drape, go one up. Lay a shirt you already like flat, measure pit-to-pit, and match the chest column in the size chart on this page (measurements are ±0.5″).
Chest runs 20″ at S to 28″ at XXL, with body length from 27″ to 31″. The soft hand on this cotton gets better with every wash, which is why we keep the print simple enough to live with.
Printed to order, checked by an actual bro
Your shirt is made after you buy it, which adds a couple of days but keeps us from burning through bulk inventory nobody wears. Textiles are one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the US, per EPA data, so on-demand printing is the version we can stand behind.
Print jobs ship in 2 to 5 business days, then 3 to 5 days in the mail inside the US, with tracking emailed the moment it leaves. Shipping is free over $150 and a flat rate you see at checkout below that. If something is off, our 30-day swap and refund policy has no forms and no restocking fee.
Most drops are limited runs. When the counter on this page hits zero, that tee is gone unless enough people ask for a rerun, which you can track against the rest of the Yellow and Blue standings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does “stay golden” mean?
“Stay golden” means hold onto the good part of yourself before life sands it down, and it traces back to Robert Frost’s “Nothing Gold Can Stay” by way of Johnny’s “stay gold, Ponyboy” line in The Outsiders. Golden Girls fans read it as the sign-off to the theme song instead. Both readings work on this shirt.
What is a gold shirt?
A gold shirt usually means a garment in a gold or mustard colorway, though the term also covers novelty pieces woven with real gold thread. Ours is the first kind: a printed cotton tee, no metal involved.
What is the most expensive shirt ever sold?
The 24k gold shirt commissioned by Indian businessman Datta Phuge in 2013 is widely reported at roughly $250,000, using about 3.2 kg of gold. Historic auction shirts, like garments worn by Napoleon, have also cleared six figures.
What is the price of a 24k gold shirt?
Custom 24k gold-thread shirts have sold for $200,000 to $250,000, driven almost entirely by the gold weight. Our version costs $24 and you can wear it to a tailgate.
