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.

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides Bunge
Ceratostigma plumbaginoides creates a strong contrast within each small flower: a reddish-purple tube opens into blue lobes. Even the anthers are blue. The flowers gather in clusters at the ends of shoots and sometimes in the leaf axils, each accompanied by small bracts. This is a perennial whose display rises from an underground network of branched rhizomes. Flora of China: Ceratostigma plumbaginoides
