What 6910 ft Means on This Shirt
The Elevation of Flagstaff, Arizona
6,910 feet is the official elevation of Flagstaff, Arizona — the highest elevation of any US city with a population over 50,000. Flagstaff sits atop the Colorado Plateau at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, with Humphreys Peak rising to 12,633 ft directly north of downtown. That altitude puts Flagstaff roughly 5,000 ft above Phoenix 145 miles to the south, producing four full seasons, ponderosa pine forests, and 100+ inches of annual snowfall in a state most people picture as desert. The number 6,910 is shorthand for everyone who has lived at that elevation and still carries it with them — wherever they land next. Part of the Local Data Shirts collection.

Why Comfort Colors for a Flagstaff Hometown Shirt
Comfort Colors is a brand under Hanes Brands, established in 1979. The Style 1717 uses 100% ring-spun US cotton at 6.1 oz/yd², dyed after full garment construction. The post-construction dye process pre-shrinks the fabric, resulting in less than 3% shrinkage after home washing. The soft-washed surface produces a matte, broken-in texture across the fabric face. Garment-dyeing produces surface tone variation across individual units — no 2 shirts carry an identical shade. A high-elevation city deserves a shirt with the same worn-in character the altitude puts on everything else.
All GGIT Apparel Hometown Shirts are printed on the Comfort Colors 1717 garment-dyed tee.
