A Lick of Good

Saltlick T-shirts

The statistics are in: Five out of five doctors strongly recommend not wearing your heart on your sleeve.

Its proper place, duh, is your chest. Which is exactly where the makers of Saltlick T-shirts have put it. Their sweet line of cotton tees features two designs that should appeal to aesthetes and anatomy buffs alike: a rib cage with a heart hiding within and a surprisingly accurate felt rendering of the organ.

Not so big on innards? There are also animals (doggies, kitties, even a rhino), a rodeo cowboy silhouette, a boom box for the boys, and an option whereby you can have your pet’s likeness stitched onto a tee just for you. The fuzzy felt makes the shirts feel winter-ready under a cardigan, while the cotton American Apparel tops are appropriate all year round.

Just what the doctor ordered.
