You hold the pen. Every decision adds the next line.

This quote shirt for men carries Every Choice Writes a Story, an original RaZits lettering design for writers, readers and anyone who sees his own life as a plot that's still unfolding. Soft cotton makes it an easy everyday tee, and it's a thoughtful gift for the friend who is always weighing up his next move.

The design: a storybook motto ringed by arrows

The print is pure typography, with no picture needed. EVERY CHOICE WRITES A STORY stacks in four lines of classic serif capitals: EVERY and CHOICE on top, a smaller WRITES A underlined by a thin rule, then STORY across the bottom. Oversized first letters on the E, the C and the S give it the feel of a title page in an old storybook, and the white letters carry a faint blush-pink edge.

Thin calligraphic lines swirl around the words and finish in arrowheads. They loop in from the top, both sides and the bottom, each pointing a different way, so the motto sits in the middle of many possible routes. Three small leafy sprigs grow out of the arrow lines, two at the top corners and one on the right, and a tiny star glint catches the swirl above the final letters.

The idea is simple: the next chapter isn't written yet. Each decision, big or small, adds a line, and the arrows show how many ways a single moment can turn. It reads as a writer's motto, a reader's reminder and a quiet nod to anyone who loves games where the story bends around what you pick.

A cotton quote shirt for every chapter

• 100% cotton at 5.0–5.3 oz/yd² (170–180 g/m²), for a structured look that keeps clean lines at the edges
• Knit in one piece around the body, so there are no seams running down your sides
• Tape covers the seams inside the neckline and across the shoulders, so they lie flat against your skin
• Two rows of stitching finish the sleeve ends and the bottom hem for a neat edge
• Tear-away label to avoid irritation

Who it's for

Men who think in chapters: the novelist with a half-finished manuscript, the journal keeper, the book club regular, the tabletop game master who improvises the plot every week, and the player who replays a story game just to see where the other choice would have led. Wear it to a writing group, a bookstore event, game night or a casual Friday at work. As a gift, it suits a birthday, a graduation, a new job, a finished first draft or the holidays.

Quick answers

Which size should I order?

It's a men's classic tee. Lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure its length and width, and compare them with the size guide next to the size options. If you're between sizes, the body chest column there helps you decide.

Is anything printed on the back?

No, the back is plain. The motto sits centered on the chest at a medium size, so it stays readable under an open overshirt or jacket.

Does the white lettering show on every shade?

Yes. It stands out most on the deeper shirts. On the lightest shade offered, the contrast is softer, but the words and arrows stay easy to read.

Is the motto from a game, book or film?

No. It's original RaZits lettering, not a logo or title from any game, book, film or show, so the story it points to is yours.

How should I wash it?

Turn it inside out to keep the print bright, machine wash cold with like colors, and tumble dry low or hang it up. Skip bleach and high heat, and iron on the reverse side if needed.
