So-called "night witches" were daring female pilots who bombed the Naz!s by night. This little-recognized all-female squadron was crucial to winning WII. They flew under cover of darkness in bare-bones plywood biplanes. They braved some of the most dangerous flying conditions and frostbite in the air, while battling skepticism and sexual harassment on the ground. They were feared and hated so much by the Nazis that any German airman who downed one was automatically awarded the prestigious Iron Cross medal.

They earned the nickname Nachthexen, or “night witches,” because the whooshing noise their wooden planes made, the only warning sound their planes were incoming, sounded like a sweeping broom. “This sound was the only warning the Germans had. The planes were too small to show up on radar… [or] on infrared locators,” said Steve Prowse, author of the screenplay The Night Witches, a nonfiction account of the little-known female squadron. “They never used radios, so radio locators couldn’t pick them up either. They were basically ghosts.”

This soft, well-made T-shirt is meant to remind you of these women's heroism:

• 98% combed and ring-spun cotton, 2% polyester
• Pre-shrunk fabric
• Side-seamed construction
• Shoulder-to-shoulder taping
• Blank product sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US

Fourth Wave’s t shirts run very true to size (scroll through the photos above to see real women and men wearing Fourth Wave). The blank apparel industry is filled with cheap shirts, and I’m not interested in selling you any of those. Take a look at our sizing chart (just scroll through the photos above), and order the right size for you. I absolutely love the styles I offer here. They’ve been carefully curated for their softness, fit, quality, and style. I’m also proud to offer sizes XS-4XL on almost every item in my shop. Inclusive sizing matters, and all bodies are beautiful.

I use high-quality, butter-soft, no-shrink, triple-stitched, true-to-size apparel. I take ethical sourcing and ethical production very seriously. The wholesaler I work with is a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), which upholds rigorous standards for sustainability, sourcing, and ethical work conditions. As well as the Fair Labor Association (FLA) and the Quality Certification Alliance (QCA).

INK
We use eco-friendly ink that does not emit toxic fumes while curing. If you notice a subtle "vinegar" smell on your shirt, rest assured that it is non-toxic and will disappear after you wash. We use this non-toxic spray to cure our ink (so it won't wash out!)

Seeing your photos on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest warms my feminist husk of a heart. Whether you're marching, protesting, or having brunch with your BFF, I love to see women and men! of all shapes, sizes, ages, and colors wearing Fourth Wave feminist apparel. Tag your photo with #FourthWaveApparel find me on Facebook (Fourth Wave Apparel), Instagram (@FourthWaveApparel), and Pinterest (Fourth Wave)!

If you catch the error before the item ships, all good! (double check this!) If we need to re-ship your item, a $5 reshipment fee will be assessed for first-class domestic shipments. For domestic priority shipments and international shipments, reshipment fee will depend on product weight and shipping fees. No extra fee will be assessed, but please keep in mind that you will be responsible for reshipment fees!

If your package is lost in the mail (we HATE it when this happens) please know that this issue will need to be addressed/a claim will need to be made with the postal service. We provide tracking with each package, but once it has left our hands, it's up to the postal service to deliver it safely (and 99.9% of the time they do!)

Please note we do not accept returns or exchanges unless there is a defect in the shirt or print. Please double check our sizing charts and color offerings before purchasing! That said, please reach out if you ever have an issue with your item so I can help you out (instead of trying to communicate through a poor review, which I may not see for days). I want you to be happy with your shirt and wear it with pride!
