Love this tee!

This shirt is super comfy, adorable design, and such a great, hard to find color choice. My order arrived surprisingly fast too, though I don't mind waiting for a shipment from a small business. I will definitely be checking back often for more Jane Austen themed pieces! Great store. 💜

Favorite new shirt

I love this t-shirt! The colors are a little more muted than photographed, giving it the perfect lived-in look. The shirt itself is soft and comfy, again giving the feeling of being well-loved and lived in. I also purchased the Netherfield Walking Club tee for my sister, and the quality was also excellent.

This shirt is all that...

This shirt is all that! Classic Austen with a modern twist. Does it get any better than Barely Tolerable?!?! True to size - great tee.

Wearing on repeat

What I love about this shirt is it’s a IYKYK and I love finding those who are in the know. I got the medium, easily could have gone with a small, but I love the over sized fit

Perfect T-Shirt

I love this shirt so much, I wish I had a bunch more. The fabric is lovely, the color is a great vintage-y purple. I found the sizing to be good (I went by measurements to get the fit I wanted, but I think they're probably meant to run a bit oversized if going by S/M/L).

Will definitely be looking to get more from Inkwell Threads at some point.

I love it! It's perfect.

This t-shirt is perfect to enjoy an exemplary boiled potato or to take a turn about the room. It's soft, broken in, and good quality. Definitely sure to get the attention of a single man of a certain age who will be in want of a wife.

Substantial and comfortable, vintage looking from the start. The body is longer than some T-shirts. Sizing is accurate. Inkwell graciously exchanged it after I was overly cautious and ordered a size up.

Love it!

I love this shirt! The quality, material, color, etc. all met or exceeded expectations, and I love the funny reminder of one of my favorite stories. The process to order was simple, even with an error on my part that had to be corrected before delivery, and it arrived quickly! Sizing is pretty accurate, I typically wear M, sometimes L, but this M fit comfortably.
So glad I fell for this Insta ad!

Size runs a little large, I’ll be getting a size smaller next time. Absolutely love the quality.

My new favorite t-shirt!

As a Pride and Prejudice lover, this shirt has it all. It's made with my absolute favorite Hanes Color Comforts tee and is the perfect style lettering. I ordered two more from their P&P line after wearing this nonstop.

Comfortable and fun

The t-shirt fits to size, maybe a little long/loose. I like that, so it's a plus. Design and fabric seem to be holding up well after the first couple washes.

Looks exactly like the picture and Comfort Colors t-shirts are the best. So comfy!

So cute!!

Super cute shirt! Really good quality and nice fit (obviously also very funny hence the purchase). I am notoriously bad at following washing directions so whether or not I was supposed to do this I don’t know but I washed and dried it in high heat and it still came out lovely with no peeling or cracking!
