Created in the tradition of 19th-century botanical plates, then reviewed by hand before it goes anywhere near a shirt. Yours is printed fresh when you order it.
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.

Meet Drummond's bluebells
Mertensia drummondii (Lehm.) G.Don
Drummond’s bluebells is a small Arctic perennial rooted in open sand and gravel. A stout, dark-brown base and taproot support flowering stems only about 7–15 centimetres tall. Its blue flowers rise above narrow, alternate leaves, bringing a conspicuous patch of colour to sparsely vegetated ground. Flora of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago: Mertensia drummondii
Bloom window
Arctic Alaska, observations in 1994
At Kogosukruk River sites, flowering had begun by June 29, 1994; Meade River populations appeared roughly two weeks later. Robert Lipkin, Alaska Natural Heritage Program: Status Survey Update on Mertensia drummondii
Native range
The Canadian Arctic flora places it in northern Alaska and Arctic Canada, including Victoria Island. Alaskan field surveys found it on active river dunes and wind-eroded sandy hollows, with open ground maintained by natural disturbance.
