Style: Short Sleeve
Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet African rosemallow
Sabdariffa acetosella (Welw. ex Hiern) M.M.Hanes & R.L.Barrett
African rosemallow is often grown for its red-flushed foliage as much as its flowers. The Singapore botanical account describes annual or short-lived perennial plants reaching about half a metre to two and a half metres. Red-leaved forms are cultivated as ornamentals and temporary hedges, including outside the plant’s native African range. Singapore NParks: Hibiscus acetosella
Native range
Its native range extends from Burundi into southern tropical Africa, including Angola, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia and Zimbabwe. Kew places it chiefly in the seasonally dry tropical biome. Kew POWO: Sabdariffa acetosella
Ecological relationships
NParks reports that self-pollination is usual, although insects can also transfer pollen between plants. Singapore NParks: Hibiscus acetosella
