Width is measured flat across the chest. Length is measured from the high shoulder to the hem. These are published garment specifications; a manufacturing tolerance of approximately 1½ inches may apply.
A mature fig tree, split hard through the trunk and still standing.
The back illustration keeps the detail organic: a full canopy, visible fruit, exposed damage, and the exact words “DAMAGED. NOT DEFEATED.” A leafy Oakwell monogram sits at the left chest, tying the front to the larger artwork without competing with it.
The graphic is printed on a Comfort Colors 1717 tee in 6.1 oz ring-spun cotton. It feels substantial, soft, and already familiar, with a relaxed fit and the depth of a garment-dyed finish.
Damage can alter the shape without becoming the whole story.

BEHIND THE DESIGN
Damaged. Not Defeated.
The artwork begins with a mature fig tree split through the trunk. The break is left exposed, but the canopy is still full and the branches are still bearing fruit. It is not an untouched tree, and it is not drawn as though nothing happened.
That contrast is the point. Damage can change a person’s shape, direction, or pace without becoming the final measure of what remains possible. The tree carries visible evidence of the break while continuing to do what a healthy tree was made to do.
The design does not celebrate damage or pretend every wound disappears. It is about refusing to confuse being marked by an experience with being defeated by it. The shirt keeps that idea in the background, inside a graphic that can stand on its own.
