Southern-Style Buttermilk Biscuits | Southern Vintage Tee
This shirt looks like a recipe card for homemade buttermilk biscuits — creased, typed, a little worn at the edges. Garment-dyed for a broken-in feel from day one, pre-shrunk to hold that fit. Each color prints in black or white ink, whichever gives the sharpest contrast.
Buttermilk biscuits are a Southern baking cornerstone — made from scratch, passed down, debated endlessly (butter or shortening, cutter or no cutter). This shirt's a nod to that tradition.
Fabric & fit: Comfort Colors 1717 blank. 100% ring-spun cotton, garment-dyed, tubular knit with double-needle stitching. Relaxed unisex fit, true to size — size up for oversized.
