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 elephant bush
Portulacaria afra Jacq.
Elephant bush, also called spekboom, can form a substantial evergreen shrub or small tree, reaching two to five metres. Its compact leaves and branching habit also make it familiar as a bonsai subject. In its South African habitat, it is woven into the feeding and regeneration patterns of larger animals.
