What Makes the Raider Ringer Tees Special?

The Raider Ringer Tees are inspired by the timeless charm of the Ringer tees that were all the rage in the 60s/70s, but with a unique twist—a vertical stripe detail that runs from the neckline to the hemline on the sleeves. This eye-catching feature adds a dynamic touch to an already iconic style, making these tees a standout piece in any wardrobe.

These patterns are available in all of our size charts, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Here’s a quick rundown of what each version offers:

Adult Hourglass: This version is designed with a figure-hugging fit that accentuates your curves. It comes with options for crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths, and an additional scoop neckline option, all in sizes XXS to Plus 5X.
Youth Hourglass: Perfect for the little ones, this version offers a similar body skimming fit as the adult version, with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. Choose from crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths to suit your child’s style.
Adult V Figure: If you prefer a more relaxed fit, the V Figure version is for you. It includes three height options—Short (5’6″), Average (5’10”), and Tall (6’2″)—and comes with classic Ringer tee details like short sleeve, long sleeve cuffed, and long sleeve hem options. Available in sizes XXS to Plus 6X.
Youth V Figure: Designed for kids who love to play and move freely, this version provides a comfortable fit with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. It’s perfect for everyday wear and offers the same sleeve options as the adult version.

The Story Behind the Name

You might be wondering, why the name Raider Ringer? Well, I (Katy…P4P designer + admin) love to draw inspiration from my home state of West Virginia when naming my patterns. This time around, I decided to honor the mascot of my husband and son’s school. Plus, how could I resist the connection between Raiders and Pirates? It was a match made in pattern-naming heaven!
