I like the t-shirt, and I like that J.Crew is stepping outside of the box and highlighting other less common languages.

Mary G, I am glad that I could offer some help and translation, but it was really Mimi Magazine who helped out. Thanks to a great site!

Sally, if anyone buys this shirt, I hope they wear a cardigan very carefully over this tee.

Christine, this would be a fun tee to wear. I think a lot of people would stop to ask what it means.

Cassie, I would be interested to see if they do bring back some safari themed jewelry. I know J.Crew had jewelry with giraffes in the past and right now, there is a necklace with an elephant on it.

Heidi, the tee in the light color is on sale right now!

Sally, thanks for letting everyone here know about the sale! Happy New Year!

So nice to have the translation, thanks! But I think I may be to get the Bon Voyage version – that green is just screaming white jeans to me.

I mostly lurk and don’t comment very often, but I do love your blog. Thanks for all the great info!!

I’m actually not a big fan of the shirt…and I love (and own) almost ALL of their tees!

My boyfriend likes it thought so I might just get it when it goes on sale… hahaha!

I’d like to see them bring back some safari-themed jewelry.

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my site recently. I received my J.crew catalog yesterday and have been waiting for the right moment to devour it slowly page by page. I LOVE that shirt and have picked out my flip flops for the upcoming season. I also love the Starfish bikini. Just the motivation I needed to keep up with staying in shape.

Sally, that’s absolutely hilarious! I’m pretty sure my son would get a kick out of that too

I have heard that when a cardigan is worn over the safari t-shirt in just the right way, it looks like it says FART. My kids would love that, but I’ll have to pass!

Leigh,
Thanks for the translation. I kept staring at that tee the other night in the catalog trying to see if there were other letters hidden in the folds that would make it comprehensible.

I thought I was just too unhip to know what it meant!
