You're in the right place. This is the original Dear Person Behind Me, a family-owned and operated brand. We created this message because we believe a stranger's kindness can turn someone's whole day around. Every piece we make carries that belief. Others have copied the words. Nobody can copy the heart behind them.
Product details

Soft Cotton, Made for Movement

  • 100% combed ring-spun cotton at 4.5 oz, light and breathable
  • Combed cotton means the rough fibers are removed, so it's smooth against skin
  • Ash is 99% cotton, 1% polyester. Heather is 90% cotton, 10% polyester

Light enough that they won't overheat running around, soft enough that they won't pull at it.

Things Parents Notice

  • Ribbed collar that keeps its shape instead of going floppy after being yanked over their head a hundred times
  • Soft neck tape made from the same fabric, so there's nothing rough sitting on the back of their neck
  • Double stitched sleeves and hem, the two spots that usually go first
  • Taped shoulders, so the seams don't stretch out in the wash
Fit
  • Side seams follow the body, so it hangs properly instead of looking boxy
  • Fits true to size, order the size they normally wear
  • Between sizes? Go up. They'll grow into it and this one will still be around

Soft enough they'll actually want to wear it. Tough enough to survive the week. Meaningful enough to make a difference every time they put it on.
Care

To keep your shirt looking and feeling its best:

  • Machine wash cold with similar colors, turned inside out
  • Tumble dry on low or hang dry for longest life
  • Avoid bleach and fabric softeners
  • Pre-shrunk fabric means it stays true to size wash after wash
  • Iron inside out if needed, avoiding direct contact with printed areas

About this product

The Dear Person Behind Me Original Shirt (Toddler) is the smallest version of our bestselling original, and the only one whose wearer cannot read it yet. Across the back: Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it. Love, the person in front of you.

They have no idea. That is somehow the best part of it. A two year old gets carried through a shop with a letter on their back telling whoever is standing behind them that the world is better because they are in it, signed love, while the toddler in question is thinking about a snack.

On the front: You are enough. At three, that is not encouragement. It is just a description. They have not done anything yet and it is already completely true, which is the whole idea, printed small.

People buy the Dear Person Behind Me Original Shirt (Toddler) for second birthdays, for a friend's kid they are quietly obsessed with, and for a nephew they only see at Christmas and want to send something real to.

They will not remember wearing it. Somebody who read it will.
