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 candelabra aloe
Aloe arborescens Mill.
Candelabra aloe earns its outline through branching. Several heads of gray-green leaves develop into a substantial shrub, often two to three metres tall. Each rosette is edged with conspicuous pale teeth. Its persistent, densely branching growth has also led to its use as a living fence around livestock enclosures in South Africa.

Native range
Aloe arborescens ranges from South Africa north into Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi. It occurs from the coast into mountains, particularly on exposed rocky ridges and outcrops, and also in dense bush. Most of its South African distribution lies in eastern summer-rainfall areas. The name krantz aloe refers to its rocky ridge or cliff habitats. SANBI PlantZAfrica: Aloe arborescensKew Plants of the World Online: Aloe arborescens
