My Pace Is Still Progress Butterfly Comfort Colors Tee
Manufacturing
Each Simply Happy Wear shirt is made to order rather than produced in large batches.
Our Comfort Colors tees are made from 100% ring-spun US cotton and garment-dyed for a soft, lived-in color and texture.
The heavyweight 6.1 oz/yd² fabric has a relaxed unisex fit and is pre-shrunk during the garment-dye and wash process.
Tubular construction means there are no side seams, while double-needle stitching adds durability for everyday wear.
Because garment-dyed pieces are individually washed and dyed, slight variations in color and texture are normal and part of what gives each shirt its lived-in character.
Producing each piece after it is ordered also helps us avoid making unnecessary inventory.
Shipping
Good things don’t need fake urgency.
Each item is made especially for you after your order is placed. Most orders are produced within 2–5 business days before shipping.
Delivery time begins after production and may vary depending on destination and carrier conditions.
Once your order ships, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking information so you can follow it—or forget about it completely. We support both approaches.
For current production and delivery estimates, please visit our FAQ.

Because our pieces are made to order, we do not accept returns or exchanges for a change of mind or when an incorrect size or color is selected, except as required by applicable law.
Please review the color options, Fit Guide, and Size Chart carefully before ordering.
If your item arrives damaged, defective, misprinted, or different from what you ordered, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we’ll help make it right.

Please review both the Fit Guide and Size Chart images before ordering. For the most accurate fit, compare the measurements with a T-shirt you already own and love.

Growth does not stop just because it looks quiet from the outside.
Sometimes progress looks like becoming.
This garment-dyed butterfly T-shirt was made for anyone moving through a slow season, rebuilding, healing, transforming, or learning to trust their own pace without treating every stage of growth like a race.
The original vintage-inspired illustration features a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis hanging from a branch beneath the words “My Pace Is Still Progress” and the reminder “Not Stuck, Just Becoming.”
There is a quiet honesty in the image—something gentle and reassuring about the moment between what was and what is still unfolding. It speaks to the kind of growth that is easy to overlook because it is not loud, fast, or instantly visible.
The engraved-style artwork and bold arched lettering give the design the feel of a well-worn vintage graphic, while the butterfly and chrysalis imagery bring the message back to something simple: just because your progress looks different does not mean it is not real.
Made from heavyweight Comfort Colors cotton, this relaxed unisex tee has a soft-washed, lived-in feel from the first wear. Reach for it on reflective days, creative seasons, therapy days, quiet mornings, nature walks, weekends offline, or whenever you need a reminder that growth does not have to be rushed to matter.
You are not behind. You are still becoming.
Part of the Hustle Detox series from the Slow Living Club—pieces for people unlearning urgency, resting without guilt, and growing at their own pace.
