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

Made for Hot Days
This is a light, breathable cotton tank that stays cool when everything else feels like too much. Soft from the first wear, and it stays soft. No stiffness, no scratchiness, nothing clinging to you in July.

  • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton
  • Athletic Heather: 90% cotton, 10% polyester
  • All other Heather colors: 52% cotton, 48% polyester

How It Feels
Smooth against your skin and light enough that you forget you have it on. It moves with you instead of sticking to you, which is the whole point of a tank top in the first place. Tri-blend colors are the lightest of the bunch, with a soft vintage feel.

A Fit That Works
Side seams follow your shape, so it hangs properly instead of hanging straight down. Regular fit with plenty of room to move, at the gym or on a patio or halfway up a trail.

Cool on the hottest day of the year. Soft enough that you'll reach for it first. Meaningful enough to make a difference every time you wear it.
Fit

Standard length with a fitted cut through the body. The fabric moves easily with you, so nothing pulls or restricts when you do.

Want a looser, more relaxed feel? Go one size up.

Check our size chart for exact measurements.
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 Tank Top gets read more than almost anything else we make, because summer is the season of standing in lines. Across the back: Dear person behind me, the world is a better place with you in it. Love, the person in front of you.

Ice cream stands. Festival gates. The patio that does not take reservations. Everybody outside, everybody waiting, everybody with nothing to do but read the back of whoever is in front of them. Which is you.

So somebody hot and slightly bored in the middle of July gets told the world is better because they are in it, signed love, by a person who is only thinking about ice cream.

On the front: You are enough. That is the one you read yourself, looking down while you catch your breath halfway up a hill.

People buy the Dear Person Behind Me Original Tank Top for someone who lives in tank tops from May to September, for a runner, for the friend who hosts every barbecue and never once sits down.

You will spend a whole summer telling strangers something kind and never have to say it out loud.
