Dino Nuggets Shirts: Every Nuggie Tee We Make, Sized and Priced for the Whole Family

Some people grow out of dinosaur chicken nuggets. Plenty don't, and a dino nuggets shirt is how they tell the world. We make nuggie tees for men, women, kids and toddlers, and they aren't the same shirt in four sizes: three are soft cotton with a printed graphic, three are stretchy all-over prints, and the sizing runs differ a lot.

Everything below comes from the live product listings: fabric, sizes, prices and lead times. If a listing doesn't say something, we don't guess.

The short version

All of them, plus the hoodies, polo, pajama pants and the rest, are in our Dinosaur Nuggie collection.

Every piece is printed to order, so nothing ships the day you buy it. That matters for Christmas, and the dates are at the bottom.

The cotton nuggie tees: the safe pick

Three designs share one blank: a 100% combed, ring-spun cotton tee at 4.2 oz per square yard, pre-shrunk, side-seamed, with shoulder-to-shoulder taping. It's light, soft and has a little give. Heather colors contain polyester, so pick a heather if you want a bit more drape and a solid if you want pure cotton.

• Powered By Dino Nuggies, from $24.99. The one-line confession, and the cheapest way into the range. Eight colors, from soft pink and soft cream to heather forest and steel blue, in XS through 5XL. If you're buying for someone and don't know their taste, this is the one.
• Trade Husband For Nuggies, from $24.99. The women's version of the joke, in seven colors and XS–5XL.
• Trade Wife For Nuggies, from $24.99. Same shirt, same seven colors, other half of the marriage. Buy both and you have a couple's gift that does the explaining for you.

The size range is the main reason to start here. XS to 5XL covers nearly every adult. Trade Husband and Trade Wife also come as hoodies, if the person you're shopping for runs cold (the hoodie guide covers how those fit).

One listing note: these three can't ship to South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan or Japan.

The all-over-print dino nugget shirt for men

The Dinosaur Nuggies men's tee ($34.99–$36.99) is a different garment. It's a cotton-touch polyester jersey (93% polyester, 7% spandex in the US) with the print covering the whole shirt rather than a graphic on the chest. The listing says it won't fade in the wash, which is the point of printing on polyester.

Two things to know before you buy:

1. It stops at 2XL. The chart runs from a 31⅛" chest at XS to 51⅝" at 2XL. Anyone bigger should get one of the cotton tees above, which go to 5XL.
2. It takes longest to arrive. 2–5 business days to make, then 7–12 to ship.

If you want the nuggets everywhere rather than in one spot, this is the shirt. If you want the softest shirt, it isn't.

Dino nuggets shirts for kids and toddlers

Kids get the all-over-print fabric in two size runs, and both are four-way stretch, so they move with a child who doesn't sit still:

• Dinosaur Nuggies toddler tee, $29.99, in 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T, 6, 6X and 7.
• Dinosaur Nuggies kid's tee, $32.99, in 8 through 20.

Between them they cover a two-year-old to a teenager. Neither listing gives a measurement chart, so if your child is between sizes and you'd rather not guess, size up: a stretch tee that's a little big gets another season out of it.

Shopping for the very small? The collection also has a Nuggie Addict bib ($21.99) and a Dinosaur Nuggies girls'/toddler sundress ($34.99, 2T to XL).

Beyond the tee: the dino nugget polo, pillow and socks

Not everyone wants a t-shirt. The rest of the collection is where the gift ideas are:

• Dino Nuggies slim fit polo, $49.99–$53.99. 95% polyester, 5% spandex, white button placket, XS–3XL. The listing says it runs small and to size up, so do. It's for the office that allows it, or the golf course that probably shouldn't.
• Dino Nuggie pillow, $29.99–$33.99. A pillow shaped like the nugget itself, in 10", 16" and 22". We cover how the shaped pillows compare in our dinosaur pillow guide.
• Dino Nuggies socks, $19.99, one size. The cheapest nuggie in the shop and a sensible stocking filler.

The collection also has pajama pants (2XS–6XL), leggings, a bucket hat, a tie, a purse, two dresses and a Christmas nuggie stocking, all live.

Which dino nugget shirt should you buy?

• For an adult, any size: Powered By Dino Nuggies. Cotton, cheapest, XS–5XL.
• For a couple: Trade Husband and Trade Wife, one each.
• For a man who wants the full print, and wears 2XL or smaller: the all-over Dinosaur Nuggies tee.
• For a child from 2T to 20: the toddler or kid's tee, sized up if in doubt.
• For someone who doesn't wear novelty shirts: the socks or the pillow.

Ordering for Christmas

Every nuggie shirt is printed when you order it, so add the production time and the shipping time together. Working back from Christmas with the longest time each listing quotes, plus a few days to spare:

These dates are our estimate from the listings' quoted ranges, not a delivery guarantee. Tracking arrives by email once your order ships.

FAQ

Are the nuggie shirts cotton? The three slogan tees (Powered By Dino Nuggies, Trade Husband, Trade Wife) are 100% combed ring-spun cotton, with polyester in the heather colors. The all-over-print men's, kid's and toddler tees are polyester with spandex.

What's the biggest size? 5XL, in the three cotton tees. The all-over men's tee stops at 2XL and the polo at 3XL.

Do you make a dino nuggets shirt for kids? Yes. A toddler tee in 2T–7 and a kid's tee in 8–20, both four-way stretch.

How long does shipping take? It depends on the shirt: 5–12 business days in total for the cotton tees and up to 17 for the all-over men's tee, counting production. Each listing gives its own range.

Is there a matching set for the family? Not as a single product. The toddler, kid's and men's tees all belong to the Dinosaur Nuggies line and are all-over prints on the same stretch fabric; compare the photos on each listing to see how closely the prints line up before you buy all three.
