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 Chinese peony
Paeonia lactiflora Pall.
Chinese peony has contributed extensively to the cultivated peonies grown in gardens. Beneath its leafy shoots are a taproot and a short horizontal rhizome. Garden forms produce large white, pink or red flowers, and plants can be propagated by dividing their established underground growth as well as by seed.
