Discover the Detour Series: T-shirt Love Letters to the American Road Trip

Welcome to the Detour Series by Mish & Lor, a collection of scenic nature t-shirts inspired by our real-life road trips, hidden trails, quiet moments, and unexpected detours.

Each design in the series is close to our hearts because they remind us of times we have pulled off the road to take in a place more fully. We like to call our designs t-shirt love letters—love letters to the land, to the sea, to the road, to detours, to the stillness between destinations. They’re our way of saying thank you to the scenic routes that gave us space to reconnect, reflect, and be inspired. When you wear one, it subtly communicates that you also notice beauty around you, pull over for it, and carry those moments with you. 

Each shirt is made with 100% cotton and offered in unisex sizing from Small to 2XL.  No polyester here, people! They’re soft, breathable, have a slightly heavier weight, and are ready to wear over and over again. In addition to their comfort, each t-shirt design is truly unique -- beautiful without being loud, real without being gimmicky.  People will ask you where you got the shirt you're wearing because there really are no others quite like ours. We expect to be your new favorite graphic tee shop by the time you wonder if you can get away with wearing your Mish & Lor tee for the third time in a week! 

Check out the newest design in the series, Flight Over Evergreens! We created this one as an homage to Mish & Lor's move/return to the great state of Washington after a few years of living on the Gulf Coast.  The design celebrates the quiet strength of WA's Evergreen trees, and they stand soldier-like beneath a flock of migratory birds. 

As two women behind the scenes at Mish & Lor, we repeatedly come back to conversations about which designs from the series are our favorites. The Mish of the duo, the west-coaster, is partial to Bighorn Crossing and Desert Horse. The Lor (*ahem*), from the east coast, wears Covered Bridge and Railroad Crossing like hugs. These designs remind us of our homes and the beautiful scenes between them. Which designs feel like yours?
