Description

Runs the yard. Answers to no one.

Our Chicken Crewneck Sweatshirt is built on two heavyweight fleece blanks, and both put our hand-drawn minimalist chicken in lofi style front and center. Standard is the Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt: 8 oz of 50/50 cotton and polyester with a brushed interior, a classic fit, and ribbed cuffs and waistband that hold their shape. Premium is the Cotton Heritage M2480 Unisex Premium Crew Neck: 8.5 oz of tightly knit 3-end fleece with a 100% cotton face, soft-washed, side-seamed, and cut a little trimmer through the chest. A chicken sweatshirt for backyard flock keepers, homesteaders, and anyone up before sunrise whether they like it or not. Available in White and Black, sizes S through 5XL in Standard and S through 3XL in Premium.

Busy. Loud. In charge.

Made on demand when you order, so nothing sits in a warehouse. Makes a genuinely good gift for the chicken-obsessed person in your life.

Finding your size
Both tiers are unisex. Two ways to get it right: match your actual chest measurement to the Fits Chest column, or measure a sweatshirt you already love and match the Garment Chest column.

Standard: Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Crewneck Sweatshirt
8 oz of 50/50 cotton and polyester heavy blend fleece with a brushed interior, air-combed yarn for reduced pilling, and 1x1 ribbed cuffs and waistband with spandex so they hold their shape. Classic fit, true to size. Available S through 5XL in White and Black.

Size Garment Chest (in) Garment Length (in) Sleeve, Center Back (in) Fits Chest (in)
S 20 27 33½ 34 to 36
M 22 28 34½ 38 to 40
L 24 29 35½ 42 to 44
XL 26 30 36½ 46 to 48
2XL 28 31 37½ 50 to 52
3XL 30 32 38½ 54 to 56
4XL 32 33 39½ 58 to 60
5XL 34 34 40½ 62 to 64

Premium: Cotton Heritage M2480 Unisex Premium Crew Neck
8.5 oz of tightly knit 3-end fleece with a 100% cotton face, soft-washed and side-seamed, with twill neck tape and a self-fabric half-moon neck patch. Cut a little trimmer through the chest than the Standard. Available S through 3XL in White and Black.

Size Garment Chest (in) Garment Length (in) Sleeve, From Armhole (in)
S 20 27 23½
M 21 28 24
L 23 29 24
XL 25 30 24
2XL 26½ 31 24
3XL 28 32 24

If you are between sizes
Stay with your usual size on the Standard, which is a classic, roomy fit. Size up one on the Premium. Body lengths are identical between the two tiers, so your length never changes, but the Premium is narrower through the chest — about an inch at M through XL, an inch and a half at 2XL, and two inches at 3XL.

Garment Chest is armpit to armpit, laid flat. Garment Length runs from the highest point of the shoulder down to the hem. Fits Chest is your actual chest, measured under the arms and around the fullest part with your arms down and the tape held horizontal. Sleeve is measured from the center back on the Standard and from the armhole on the Premium, so those two columns are not directly comparable. Gildan lists a tolerance of about 1 inch on chest and length. Cotton Heritage publishes garment measurements only, with no Fits Chest range and no stated tolerance, so use the Garment Chest column on the Premium.

At 8 oz and 8.5 oz these are both genuinely heavyweight fleece, warmer and denser than our tees. The Standard blends in polyester for a little more structure and wrinkle resistance. The Premium is cotton-faced, so it softens with every wash.

Product Specs

Standard - Gildan 18000 Heavy Blend Unisex Crewneck Sweatshirt
The workhorse crewneck. An 8 oz. cotton and polyester fleece with a brushed interior, so it stays soft against you while the outside holds a clean, crisp print. The yarn is spun using MVS Air technology, which reduces pilling and gives us a smoother surface to print on. Classic fit, cut straight through the body, with 1x1 athletic rib at the collar, cuffs and waistband that holds its shape instead of stretching out by February.


Features: Classic fit. Unisex sizing. Brushed fleece interior. 1x1 athletic rib knit collar, cuffs and waistband with spandex for stretch and recovery. Double-needle stitching at the shoulders, armholes, neck, waistband and cuffs. Tear-away label.


50% U.S. cotton, 50% polyester, 20 singles, 8.0 oz. per square yard (271 g/m²). Made with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes and certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100. Available in S through 5XL.


Premium - Cotton Heritage M2480 Unisex Premium Crew Neck Sweatshirt
The upgrade, and you notice it in about five seconds. A heavier 8.5 oz. three-end fleece with a 100% cotton-faced exterior, so the surface you see and touch is all cotton while the blend underneath keeps the whole thing stable and stops it going shapeless. It arrives soft washed rather than board stiff, and the tight knit takes ink unusually well, which is why the more detailed drawings live on this one. Side-seamed, so it follows the shape of an actual body.


Features: Unisex fit. Side-seamed. Tightly knit 3-end fleece with a 100% cotton-faced exterior. Soft washed for an ultra soft hand. Two-needle cover stitched collar and waistband. Twill neck tape. Self-fabric half-moon patch at the back neck. Tear-away label.


65% cotton, 35% polyester with a 100% cotton-faced exterior, 8.5 oz. per square yard (288 g/m²). Available in S through 5XL. Slight shade variation between the body and the ribbing is normal on this style and not a defect.

Size Charts

Standard Crewneck Sweatshirt - Gildan 18000 - Size Guide

Measurements are the garment laid flat, in inches. This is a classic fit in 8 oz. heavy blend fleece, cut straight through the body with a little room to layer, so it runs true to size. Size down if you want it closer to the body. Chest Width is measured across the chest, one inch below the armhole; Body Length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem; Sleeve Length runs from the center back of the neck, along the shoulder, to the sleeve hem.

SizeSMLXL2XL3XL4XL5XL

Body Length (in)2728293031323334
Sleeve Length (in)33.534.535.536.537.538.539.540.5

Classic fit with 1x1 athletic rib at the collar, cuffs and waistband. Measurements can vary within about 1 inch, which is within the manufacturer's tolerance.

Premium Crewneck Sweatshirt - Cotton Heritage M2480 - Size Guide

Measurements are the garment laid flat, in inches. This is a side-seamed unisex fit in 8.5 oz. three-end fleece, so it follows the body a little more closely than the Standard crewneck and runs slightly trimmer in the chest at the same size. If you are between sizes, or you own the Standard and want the same feel, size up. Chest Width is measured across the chest, one inch below the armhole; Body Length is from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.

Sleeve Length (in)23.52424242424

Side-seamed unisex fit, available in S through 3XL. Cotton Heritage does not state where the sleeve measurement is taken from, so treat that row as a guide rather than a precise number. Measurements can vary within about 1 inch, which is within the manufacturer's tolerance.

Return Policy

Because I’m a small business and fulfill orders through an external supplier, I unfortunately can’t accept returns, refunds, or exchanges unless your item arrives damaged, or gets lost in the mail.

That means I can’t offer returns or exchanges for:

  • Ordering the wrong size
  • Changing your mind
  • Items lost or stolen after delivery
  • Any other reason besides damage

Sizing

We cannot accept exchanges for different sizes. We tried it for a while, but as a small (one-man) business, it just wasn’t sustainable.

Since then, we’ve gone to great lengths to test our current product line to make sure all our shirts are true to size (with one exception, the AS Colour Premium Hoodie runs about ½ size small, as noted on the product page).

We’ve provided size charts on every product page or here. So please consult them carefully, and you should get a shirt that fits perfectly.

Note: Orders made between August 11th and 25th are still eligible for returns and exchanges if they don’t fit correctly.

Damaged items

If your item arrives damaged, we will replace it immediately. To file a claim, please email info@lofianimalshirts.com with:

  • Your order number
  • A photo that clearly shows the front artwork and the damaged area
  • If that’s not possible, please send one photo showing the full shirt laid flat (with artwork visible) and another close-up of the damage

Lost in the mail

If your shipment gets lost in the mail and is not delivered, just email us at info@lofianimalshirts.com to get a replacement shipment.

However, once your order’s tracking number is shown as “delivered” by the shipping company, there are no refunds, replacements or exchanges. We simply cannot be responsible for items once the shipping company has confirmed delivery. In these cases of lost, stolen or misdelivered items, I will provide you the exact tracking info, so you can take up the issue with the shipping company.

Size variation notice

Comfort Colors 1717 tees are garment-dyed, which means they’re dyed after being sewn. This process—along with natural cotton shrinkage—can cause slight size differences. You might see up to ±1 inch of variation in width. That’s normal and won’t affect the quality or fit.

Neck size notice

Some customers have mentioned that the neckline feels snug on the Comfort Colors 1717 tees. Because of dyeing and shrinkage, this can vary slightly by batch. If you prefer a roomier neckline, consider sizing up for comfort.

Premium hoodies

We’ve noticed that the AS Colour 5161 premium hoodie seems to run about ½ to 1 size small. So, we recommend sizing up when you order.

Shipping times

Just a heads-up: both my supplier and shipper have been running a little slow lately. Some orders have taken up to 2 weeks to arrive. Since I stock out of an external warehouse, I can’t control shipping times unfortunately. But if your item is really late and you ask nicely at info@lofianimalshirts.com, I might give you a discount on your next order. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Brilliant. I've never gotten so many compliments on a shirt. If there were more stars, I'd add them. (or should I just draw them?!?)

OUR STORY

Idle Doodling That's Helping Cure Cancer

For decades, advertising creative Craig Miller has been drawing doodles of animals in meetings in order to appear to be taking copious notes. Sometimes, he would show his drawings to his co-workers. They always seemed to bring on a chuckle. 

So Craig thought, "Hey, why don't I put these doodles on shirts?"  So he did.  And thus was born Lo-Fi Animal Shirts. 

 

And not to bum everyone out after this cute story, but Craig lost one of his best friends to cancer in the Fall of 2024. And then he lost his father to cancer in April of 2025, not long after he'd put up this website. 

 

So donating to the American Cancer Society seemed like the thing to do. (even though it'd make more sense conceptually to donate to the ASPCA). 

 

And that's the story. Please keep sending in animal suggestions! Craig's hoping to get up to 365 so he can put out a Page-A-Day calendar.
