“Tell all the truth but tell it slant.” Emily Dickinson wrote this around 1868, in a poem holding that truth too bright arrives blinding and has to be angled before anyone can bear it. She counted the slant itself as mercy: the craft that lets a hard truth actually land.
**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
