Care Guide

Because a literary quote this iconic deserves to look first-edition fresh.

  • Wash and dry your tee inverted to keep ink as sharp as Darcy’s wit.
  • Cool water + mild detergent = no fading tragedies.
  • Fewer spin cycles mean fewer plot twists for the fabric.
  • Line-dry whenever possible. If you must tumble, don’t pair with heavy tomes like jeans or hoodies.
  • Iron inside out on low heat; never place the hot iron directly on the printed line.

Follow these steps and your Fiction Threads tee will stay vibrant long past the final chapter.

Summon the strength of a true musketeer with this bold literary design featuring a timeless quote from Alexandre Dumas’s The Count of Monte Cristo (1844). Elegant typography in vintage tones highlights the powerful message: "The merit of all things lies in their difficulty." A graceful flourish and subtle sword motif add just the right touch of adventure and resilience. Perfect for readers, dreamers, and doers who know that every worthwhile pursuit demands courage and grit.

Did you know? Alexandre Dumas was one of the most widely read French authors of his time. He wrote The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers—often simultaneously—with the help of ghostwriters, including the prolific Auguste Maquet.
