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 California peony
Paeonia californica Nutt.
California peony follows the rhythm of a dry-summer climate. The plant disappears above ground during summer, then sends up new growth from its roots after the first autumn rain. It grows in chaparral openings, rocky grasslands and oak woodland, and can become especially conspicuous after fire. University of California Irvine, Natural History of Orange County: California Peony

Its native range extends through coastal California into northern Baja California, Mexico. The North American flora records it from Monterey County south to San Diego County, in coastal scrub and chaparral from sea level to about 1,500 metres. Flora of North America, volume 8: Paeonia californica
