Paws folded under, tail brought round, spine settled into one unbroken curve. The word gets used a hundred times a day by people who have never agreed on a definition, so here is one: a loaf is what a cat becomes when it has stopped considering its options.

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

It is a posture that takes commitment. You cannot loaf on your way to somewhere else.
