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 bird-of-paradise -tree
Strelitzia nicolai Regel & Körn.
The tree-sized bird-of-paradise forms dense clumps of tall stems crowned with enormous leaves. Old leaf scars mark its smooth gray trunks. Long, stout leaf stalks support shiny gray-green blades that can reach two metres; wind tears them into broad, featherlike strips. SANBI PlantZAfrica: Strelitzia nicolai
