Name: Pumpkin. Temperament: sitting upright in dark glasses with the settled calm of an animal who has never once been told no and would not recognise the phrase. He has opinions about the schedule, the furniture, and who is allowed on the stairs, and he shares them freely.

Printed on the Comfort Colors 1717: a 6.1-ounce, garment-dyed heavyweight that shows up soft, fits relaxed and boxy, and fades like a favorite because it basically ships as one. The type prints worn and broken-in, less ink and softer hand than a solid block.

• 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed
• Relaxed fit, drop shoulder
• Worn, distressed type with a soft, broken-in hand
• Printed to order in the US
