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 arrowroot
Maranta arundinacea L.
Arrowroot’s familiar name belongs to a plant with an underground storehouse: fleshy rhizomes rich in starch. Singapore’s National Parks account describes these as cylindrical and usually whitish. They are processed into flour, while the upright leafy growth makes the species useful as an ornamental as well as a crop. NParks Flora & Fauna Web: Maranta arundinacea
