Seneca is not saying the hard thing will not happen. He is pointing out that you have already paid for it, in advance, repeatedly, at three in the morning, and that the rehearsal costs more than the event. Set in monumental, architecturally balanced type across the back, with our quill mark at the left chest and the wordmark inside the neck. An intellectual uniform, not a trend piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eON ATTRIBUTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeneca wrote in Latin, and this line reaches English through a translator’s choices.

Each piece is pigment-dyed individually, so shade and texture vary slightly from garment to garment. That variation is intentional. It is what gives the finish its depth, and it is not a fault. Color may transfer or fade with the first few washes, so wash separately and keep it away from pale fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot sure which size?
