Size guideOther dogs
A Boxer is a lot of dog. The American Kennel Club standard puts males at 23 to 25 inches at the shoulder, with a square, muscular build and a short coat that shows every muscle. In Germany the Boxer was one of the first breeds trained for police work, and it still has that alert, ready stance. Then it gets home, wiggles its whole back end at the door and tries to sit on your lap. Owners call that full-body greeting the kidney bean, and most Boxer men will admit they live for it.
This shelf is for the man that greeting is for. None of our Boxer designs says "dad," so we picked the ones built like him on a good day: steady, strong and a little stubborn. Work and machines: "Cross What Comes" on a steel bridge drawn among drafting tools, "Hold the Frequency" with a paw on an old radio dial, "Stand Through the Static" next to a seismograph, and the riveted airplane of "Above the Ordinary." Rough weather: "Heavy Weather Club" on a harbor dock, "Outlast the Bad Weather" in the rain, and "Last Train to Glory." Sport and posture: "Grace Under Pressure" and "Motion Makes the Mood" in vintage sports-poster style, "Keep Wonder in Fighting Shape," "Turn Pressure Into Posture," "Precision Does Not Ask Permission" and "Form Follows Nerve," a twist on the architect's form follows function. And the motto: "Hold Fast."

FAQ
Do these shirts say Boxer dad?
No. They are original Boxer dog designs picked for the man who lives with one: machine and workshop posters, rough-weather scenes and sports-poster designs. None of them is on our funny Boxer or Boxer mom pages, so you can mix designs from all three.
Are these boxing shirts?
They are about the dog. A few play on the name, like Keep Wonder in Fighting Shape, but every design shows a Boxer dog, so they make the most sense for someone who has one.
What size should I get for a man?
The Washed Tee is a relaxed straight unisex cut and true to size, from S to 5XL, so most men order their usual size. Check the chest width in our size guide. Tees are printed to order, so we cannot take returns for a wrong size.
