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.

Musa balbisiana Colla
Musa balbisiana is one of the wild ancestors that contributed to cultivated bananas and plantains. Its own fruits retain numerous substantial seeds. Alongside its importance to crop history, living populations preserve genetic variation that seed banks and banana collections seek to conserve.

Native range
The species belongs to tropical and subtropical Asia. Its original distribution is complicated by human movement and feral populations; northeastern India, Myanmar, southern China and mainland Southeast Asia form a core region. Forests, ravines and farm edges are characteristic habitats.
