In 1989, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva made his first bid for the Brazilian presidency, representing the left-wing Workers' Party (PT) in the country's first direct presidential election since 1960. A former metalworker and trade union leader who had risen to prominence during the final years of Brazil's military dictatorship, Lula campaigned on promises of economic reform, workers' rights, land redistribution, and reducing the country's staggering social inequality. With a play on words slogan of "um voto de classe," meaning both 'classy' as in the sophisticated choice and 'class' as in the social sense, his grassroots campaign attracted widespread support among working-class Brazilians, students, and labor organizations, helping him emerge from a crowded field of 22 candidates to face Fernando Collor de Mello in a runoff election. Although Lula ultimately lost the December 17 contest, receiving nearly 47% of the vote to Collor's 53%, his surprisingly strong showing established him as a major force in Brazilian politics. He would run unsuccessfully again in 1994 and 1998 before finally winning the presidency in 2002, thirteen years after his first attempt.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
