Consider ordering one size up: this fitted tee runs small.
Who wrote the rules for the American game? A group of New York women, who met in 1937 to settle the arguments and ended up running the game for generations.
This fitted tee honors the organizers: a clean Big Joker for the woman who keeps the card, books the room, and knows the ruling before anyone asks. It suits a Tuesday game, a class, or a birthday at the table.
By the league's own account it began at a 1937 New York City meeting with 32 members. A separate history describes nearly 400 women meeting at the Essex House that fall to standardize the rules. One speaker warned that without a standard kitty, players would be caught with their pants down.
It worked, slowly. Membership passed 35,000 by 1941, and the rules did not fully settle until the early 1960s. Today the league reports more than 350,000 members. Next time someone disputes a hand, remember that the dispute is the reason the whole organization exists.
A slim, feminine cut in 4.2 oz combed ring-spun cotton, with side seams, shoulder taping and a tear-away label. It is light and soft, so plan on layering in winter. Machine wash, tumble dry low. As with everything we make, profits support hunger relief.
