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.

Freesia corymbosa (Burm.f.) N.E.Br.
Freesia corymbosa helped shape the colours of cultivated freesias. Its deep-yellow and pink forms contributed to early breeding, with pink-flowered plants expanding the palette available to growers. The wild species itself is often only weakly scented, and many populations have flowers without an obvious fragrance. Manning and Goldblatt, Botany and horticulture of the genus Freesia, Strelitzia 27 (2010)
Bloom window
Southern Cape, South Africa
In its South African range, flowering usually runs from late August through October, with occasional records as early as May. Manning and Goldblatt, Botany and horticulture of the genus Freesia, Strelitzia 27 (2010)
Native range
This corm-bearing perennial is native to South Africa’s southern Cape region, where Kew places it in the subtropical biome. The monograph records it in open renosterveld, Succulent Karoo scrub and grassy fynbos, growing in loamy or sandy soils.
