iNaturalist T-Shirts in the iNatStore!
Now you can buy iNaturalist shirts!
For years, people have been asking for iNaturalist shirts. And for years, we've only been able to print a few here and there and distribute them in person.
We wanted a better solution. We wanted a way to easily ship iNaturalist merchandise all over the world, without turning our small office at the California Academy of Sciences into a t-shirt distribution center. We don't want to become an apparel company, we just want people to be able to show their support for iNaturalist.
We needed a solution that allowed for cost-effective international distribution, multiple currencies, and minimal overhead (especially in staff time). After much research, we hope we have a solution thanks to the wonders of modern ecommerce: print on demand drop shipping.
How it works
When you place an order, a shirt of your specified color and size is printed with the iNaturalist logo in the USA. Then it is shipped directly to you from the warehouse. We never see it or touch it. There's no inventory. You get automatic emails updating you on the status of your order. And hopefully it arrives in a timely manner!
We're launching with just t-shirts for now, but hope to add other high-demand products like hats eventually, assuming the shirts go smoothly.
The shirts are soft, 100% cotton manufactured by Bella+Canvas. There are two styles (women’s cut and men’s/unisex cut) and two print options (with the bird or without), each available in both white and black. There is a metric and imperial size chart listed for each item so you can select the correct size.
Please note that the distributor suggests the following dates as cutoff times for holiday arrival:
December 3 for shipping destinations outside the US
December 13 for shipping destinations within the US
We hope you enjoy the shirts!

Yayyy!
Awesome!!! I NEED one of those! :D
Is it just me or can I only get the bird logo on it if I order a women's cut shirt? I can't find any option to get the bird on a men's/unisex one.
@beachcomber check again! A couple variations were accidentally hidden from view.
Perfect, thanks Carrie :)
Woot!!!!
Just ordered two...I goofed up on the first order and only got the wordmark...second one's a charm and I got the bird...decided to keep em both! lolz
Merry Christmas to me!
yippee! Mine is so worn out, was trying to figure out if there was some way I could get another one made. It leads to so many discussions about iNat when I am out observing.
Can we please have some branded specifically for the City Nature Challenge!! PLEASE!
Hope that this goes "smoothly".
Yayy!
Awesome!
Ah great!!! Very nice! 100% cotton!
Ordering certainly goes smoothly...hope it does on your end as well and you add more stuff soon!
Yes @taogirl! My T-shirts have also opened many opportunities for me to share my enthusiasm about iNat.
I just ordered one of these. I can t wait to start wearing it and spreading the word.
Ironically, this summer, I had asked if there was a T-shirt I could buy, to help support and get the name visually out there, not just word of mouth to folks asking me what I am photographing and what do I do with the photos.
@tonyrebelo that's an awesome idea! Can you imagine a group of iNats' walking around with those shirts on? If that does not spark interest, something is wrong! (lol)
Cool! Be very interested in hats too.
Whopee!! I'll get one (or two), but can't wear them for about 6 moths. T-shirt weather usually starts in late May in a good year.
Nice!
Just sent this for my Christmas list to my kids! ❤️❤️
Wow! Got an email today that my shirt has already been shipped. I must have got my request in before they got swamped by all the orders from iNat folks who have been wanting logo shirts. Thanks so much for making this happen!
Great, but where's our Gerald merch? :)
@raymie Let's leave Gerald out of this!
nope i love Gerald and there is a great idea for a Gerald t-shirt on this topic on the inat forum here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/how-did-the-observation-of-gerald-the-muskrat-go-viral-on-inaturalist/7851
Yes i think we should make a Gerald t-shirt
But, but....look at the havoc that Gerald has wreaked! That's playing with fire!
No its not havoc and Gerald hasn't wreaked anything. Gerald is just become the most famous observation on all of iNat
They should make a T-shirt of him
All right, I give in. We probably should have a Gerald T-shirt.
On condition that every community can have its own "Gerald" ...
Good Idea.. Can we get it delivered in India...
Yes @anil_kumar_verma the shirts ship to India.
Thanks @carrieseltzer , Ordered a piece.. Look forward to receive it..
I ordered the woman's black tapered sides, in a small and it fits perfectly. It was shipped quickly also.
Love , love, love it!
I am ordering way too many shirts for friends and family! A request: long sleeve shirts to protect some us from the sun!!
I like mine very much, but XL is only just big enough really, allowing for some shrinkage after washing and drying. I may go up one more size next time I order.
The shirt I ordered is sized smaller than expected. No problem. If I can't lose weight, I know folks who would love an iNat shirt.
I initially purchased two women's shirts, size 2XL, thinking that would give me lots of room for shrinkage, etc., as I'm a big gal ;)
The shirts I received were a woman's Med at best, despite being labeled 2XL. I then ordered a men's 3XL and it is sized perfectly - washed it and it's still roomy and fits right. Luckily I have a skinny daughter-in-law, who the women's shirts fit perfectly, despite being labeled 2XL. So only men's shirts are correctly sized, imho. :) Love my men's 3XL shirt! lolz
I would agree that for women, unless you are really on the tiny side in terms of height and weight, it would be good to go up two or three sizes, not just one.
Finished with EOY contribution from me
Was able to get two of my clients
To make a contribution
Now it’s time to order some swag aka T-Shirts
For me and my two daughters
Just a question
My oldest and youngest daughter
Are a size 7 in children’s clothing
What size would that be here
@ck2az we don't have shirts in children's sizes right now, but I would order them either a unisex XS or women's small (in your case, maybe one of each to try). They'll both be big, but in different ways. The women's S will be long (on a size 7 kid it could be worn with a belt and look like a dress). I don't have a unisex XS to look at right now, but I expect it will be less long but possibly broader in the shoulders than the women's S.
@carrieseltzer
Good info thank you
They are both growing like weeds right now
