"I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."

The blank: Comfort Colors® 1717 — 100% ring-spun US cotton, garment-dyed for soft, broken-in color, heavyweight 6.1 oz, relaxed unisex fit, full size range in the options above.

William Ernest Henley wrote Invictus in 1875 from a hospital bed, facing the amputation that tuberculosis had forced on him. Four short stanzas of pure defiance — the poem people reach for when they need to stand back up. Set in stone-serif type on a soft, garment-dyed tee. Wearable literature from Palimpsest.

The design: the poem's closing lines, typeset clean and bold, "my fate" picked out in oxblood. Printed on light shirts so the type reads sharp.

Fit & size: relaxed unisex fit that runs true to size — order your usual size, or go up one for a roomier look. Sizes shown in the options above; message us any time for exact measurements.
