While They Tan. I Train. is a no-gi jiu-jitsu set for whoever's still training in August: rash guard and shorts in a heat-haze gradient.
Every July, jiu-jitsu runs a census. The beach takes its share. The lake house takes its share. By August the room is down to the same six people, drilling in front of one struggling fan.
This kit is for those six.
While They Tan is a long/short-sleeve rashguard and 2-in-1 trunks in a heat-haze gradient — magenta burning down through scarlet and orange into yellow, the hottest hour of the afternoon made wearable. Across the back, in seventies poster lettering under a sun with a face: WHILE THEY TAN — I TRAIN. The sun gets a face because it's the only other one with perfect attendance. TRAIN sits alone across the chest. OPEN MAT runs down one sleeve, EMPTY GYM down the other — the entire summer schedule, worn. At the back of the collar, where a training partner reads it before they take your back: THE ROOM EMPTIES.
The trunks carry the receipts. THE STRIPE GETS EARNED framed on one leg, MY GI DRIES ON THE LINE on the other, a sun and the All Around monogram up front, psychedelic swirl down the side panels.
Nothing against the beach. It's a good beach. The room just doesn't take attendance there.
