Fortes fortuna adiuvat. Fortune favours the bold.
The Romans knew it. So do you.
This design pairs a striking comic-art illustration of a woman -- arms crossed, chin up, unbothered -- with raw red brushstroke energy and the phrase that has carried people through battle, reinvention, and every hard decision worth making since 161 BC. It's confident without needing to explain itself. Much like the person wearing it.

Who this is for
Women who back themselves. History readers. Anyone drawn to the Latin tradition of saying something once and meaning it completely. It also works as a gift -- for a friend stepping into something new, a graduate, or anyone who needs the reminder less than they deserve the acknowledgement.

Frequently Asked Questions
The adult t-shirts are constructed from preshrunk 100% cotton (with minor polyester blends in certain heather, antique, neon, and safety colors for stability). It features a fabric weight of 5.3 oz/yd² (approximately 180 g/m²), providing a medium-to-heavy feel that balances durability with everyday comfort. The jersey knit construction includes a classic width, rib collar, and taped neck and shoulders for enhanced structure.
Our t-shirts are made using open-end cotton yarn, which delivers excellent durability while resulting in a slightly coarser texture compared to ring-spun or premium soft-style blanks. At a fabric weight of 5.3 oz, it offers a substantial, heavyweight feel that many customers find sturdy and well-suited for everyday wear or work environments.
Our t-shirts offer a classic, relaxed fit with a straight cut (not tapered or athletic). It is available in sizes ranging from Small to 5XL in most colors. The shirt includes a seamless double-needle 7/8" collar, double-needle sleeves and bottom hem, and quarter-turned construction to minimize torque and twisting after washing. Sizing tends to run true to standard adult measurements, though individuals preferring a more tailored silhouette may find it slightly boxier compared to modern fitted styles. Detailed size charts are available below for chest width and length verification.
To preserve the shirt’s shape, colour, and print integrity, wash it inside out in cold or lukewarm water (maximum 30°C) with like colours, using a gentle detergent. Avoid chlorine bleach; non-chlorine oxygen bleach may be used if necessary. Tumble dry on low heat (maximum 60°C) or air dry, and do not iron directly on prints. Always check the specific garment label, as care instructions can vary slightly by color. Proper care minimises shrinkage (already reduced by preshrinking) and fading.
Our t-shirts are preshrunk, which significantly reduces shrinkage compared to non-preshrunk garments. However, as a 100% cotton shirt (or cotton-dominant in certain colors), it may still experience minimal shrinkage—typically around 2–5% in length and 1–3% in width—primarily after the first wash. This effect is most noticeable when washed in hot water or dried on high heat. To minimise shrinkage, wash in cold or lukewarm water and tumble dry on low or air dry. Proper care generally keeps post-wash fit close to the original dimensions for most wearers.
