No Hurry Tee #1 – Lizzie Borden Inspired Design

Some words linger in the air long after they’re spoken. The No Hurry Tee #1 draws its eerie power from a moment during one of the most infamous trials in American history: the 1893 trial of Lizzie Borden, who stood accused of brutally murdering her father and stepmother with a hatchet in Fall River, Massachusetts. When asked how long it took her to perform certain tasks that morning, she replied, “I do not do things in a hurry.” That quiet, deliberate phrase—uttered in the face of brutal allegations—still gives goosebumps today. Lizzie also claimed she was eating pears!

The Lizzie Borden case shocked the nation in the late 19th century. On August 4, 1892, Andrew and Abby Borden were found brutally slain in their home. Lizzie, their 32-year-old daughter, quickly became the prime suspect. The evidence was thin but suspicious: Lizzie’s timeline was full of gaps, her story inconsistent. Still, no blood was found on her clothes, and no murder weapon was definitively linked to her. After a sensational trial that captivated the country, she was acquitted by an all-male jury at the New Bedord Superior Court.

It was during that trial—under intense scrutiny—that Lizzie uttered the now-legendary line: “I do not do things in a hurry.” That response, chilling in its composure, forms the soul of this design: a bold reminder that calm can be unsettling, especially when it comes from the center of a storm.

Made with ultra-soft, breathable cotton and a fit that flatters every frame, the No Hurry Tee #1 offers a haunting twist on the classic comfort of Westport Harbor. Whether you’re a true crime enthusiast, a lover of New England lore, or simply drawn to the quiet power of understatement, this tee speaks volumes—without rushing a word.
