Apple picking is nice. But we all know why we're really here.

This funny capybara long sleeve t-shirt features Gene sitting peacefully beside a basket of freshly picked apples while enjoying the thing that actually matters: a cider donut. Paired with “I’m here for the cider donuts,” it’s a cozy fall shirt for anyone whose annual trip to the orchard has very little to do with apples.

Printed on a Comfort Colors long sleeve tee, the colorful hand-drawn artwork pairs with the relaxed, garment-dyed look of the shirt for an easy fall layer that's perfect for orchards, pumpkin patches, crisp weekends, or strategically locating the nearest cider donut stand.

Design Notes

Gene sits contentedly beside a basket overflowing with bright red apples, holding a cider donut in both paws while one forgotten apple rests nearby. The handwritten “I’m here for the cider donuts” underneath explains exactly what is happening. Warm reds, browns, greens, and golden tones give the illustration a cozy fall palette while Gene's expression keeps the joke wonderfully understated.
