Klaatu Barada Nikto T-Shirt

I was so excited to find this shirt! My husband is a big "The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)" geek, and I knew he'd flip over this shirt. Naturally, he did, and was so excited to show everyone, he wore it for 3 days straight! There were some imperfections in the printing- kind of a grey square outside the writing- but it's barely noticeable, and certainly overshadowed by the awesomeness of the shirt itself :D

This is a fun shirt commemorating my favorie movie of all time, "The Day the Earth Stood Still", and I mean the 1951 classic, not the pathetic remake. I enjoy wearing this shirt, and anyone who knows this movie understands the line. If not, they ask me about it and I can urge them to rent the movie for themselves. I love this..I wear it on days when I feel whimsical, for fun. As always, the shirt is colorful and lovely.

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.
