Keep Going Godwit Tee · Brights

One line. No stops.

A bar-tailed godwit drawn as a single unbroken line that never lifts off the shirt: about 13 metres of line on sizes L–3XL, about 10 metres on S and M, where the print is scaled down. The motto ends in a small ¹; the footnote underneath gives the proof and its source.

¹ In October 2022 a young bar-tailed godwit flew 13,560 km nonstop, Alaska to Tasmania, in 11 days. Guinness World Records; USGS, 2022

Fig. 4 of 11 in The Small Print, Deep Planet’s series of animals drawn from their own true stories, here in the Brights edition. For the runner, the rebuilder, anyone halfway through something hard.

Watch: 11 days without landing on Deep Planet.

About the print

• 18 bright shirt colours, each printed in its own pair of inks: a white or navy drawing, and a bright accent for the story’s details, so the print stands out on the colour.
• The same drawing, count and footnote as the original Small Print tee, centred on the chest, with the small Deep Planet emblem at the upper right.
• Print area 15 × 18 in on sizes L–3XL; Printful scales it proportionally to 11.5 × 13.8 in on S and M.
• Printed to order by Printful, direct to garment.
