6.5oz - Dant "Northern Flicker" T-Shirt - Ecru

So…where to begin. Ever had an idea that just hangs around in the back of your mind for weeks, months - even years? For us, it started at the beginning of the pandemic, when our little shop crew spent hours walking the city (there wasn’t much else to do). Right then, the bird migrations were in full swing. We downloaded an app, started tracking sightings, and before long, we were hooked. We’re bird people now.

Somewhere in the middle of it all, I got this idea: a series of birds with our logo beneath them. Nothing groundbreaking - just something fun. I was tired of feeling boxed into the heritage world, where a simple joy like putting a goofy bird on a t-shirt felt out of bounds. Around the same time, we were deep in the store’s rebrand, and I knew I wanted to leave space for projects exactly like this.

Five years (and countless mental sketches) later, that little vision finally took flight. You’ve been asking for branded merch ever since we stopped printing it half a decade ago, and we couldn’t be happier to bring it back - this time in a way that mixes our new branding with a flock of happy birds we could only dream of before.

This third design features the Northern Flicker, a bird that first caught our attention during a New Year’s getaway in the woods. In person, its spotted plumage is so striking it almost defies translation into 2D - but we did our best. Larger than photos suggest, the Flicker also has one of the most distinctive calls we’ve heard. The real reward, though, is catching a glimpse of one before it bounces out of sight, as members of the woodpecker family tend to do. That flash of movement only adds to their charm, and we’ve come to love their personality as much as their beauty.

Fit Notes: Tommy is wearing a size Medium in the photos. The shirt is cut with a purposefully boxy, modern fit. He decided to reshoot this shirt to show the intended on-body fit. We think it suits him and will suit you much better to go with your true size for a modern cut and one size down for a trim, tailored look. Tommy is 5'9" 165lbs with a 40" chest.
