I'll Be In The Van Man T-Shirt

Looking for me? I'll be in the van. Don't wait up.

Introducing the I'll Be In The Van, Man Tee — the official shirt of everyone who has ever looked at a VW camper van and felt something deep and personal. This retro groovy graphic features a beautifully illustrated vintage VW bus parked among towering pine trees, campfire crackling out front, lantern glowing, camp chair ready, coffee mug waiting — the complete van life setup rendered in warm earthy tones on natural cream fabric.

Whether you actually live in a van, dream about living in a van, or just think the van aesthetic is the correct aesthetic — this shirt is your statement piece. No further explanation required. You'll be in the van.

Fit: Unisex retail fit with a classic crew neck
Weight: Lightweight 4.2 oz fabric
Label: Tear-away label

How to Not Ruin Your New Favorite Shirt
Wash cold — hot water is for people who like shrinking things
Turn it inside out before washing — protect that graphic like it's a trail map to your secret spot
Gentle detergent only — this shirt is chill, your detergent should be too
Tumble dry low or hang dry — air drying is free and gives you an excuse to stand outside doing nothing, which is basically hiking adjacent
No bleach, no fabric softener — just leave it alone and it'll be fine
If you need to iron it (we respect the commitment), turn it inside out and keep the iron off the graphic

Pull it out of the dryer promptly or hang it up — wrinkles are optional, but so is effort. Either way, this shirt is pretty forgiving. Treat it reasonably well and it'll outlast your motivation to actually go on that hike you keep planning.

Questions about the tee

These are unisex Bella+Canvas 3001 tees — relaxed, true-to-size fit. Women typically size down one for a more fitted look, or stay true for an oversized feel. When in doubt, size up — the fabric softens with every wash.

Nope — we use DTG (direct-to-garment) printing which bonds with the fibers rather than sitting on top. Wash cold, tumble dry low, and turn inside out. It'll outlast your motivation to go outside.
