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.

Ecological relationships
A study in Vladivostok, Russia, identified hoverflies as effective pollinators: they regularly visited the flowers and carried Maianthemum pollen. Vislobokov and Nikandrova (2023): Pollination biology of Maianthemum s.s. in different parts of its range
The same Russian study recorded numerous ant visitors, along with longhorn beetles and several fly families. Vislobokov and Nikandrova (2023): Pollination biology of Maianthemum s.s. in different parts of its range
The flowers also provide an early nectar resource for pollinating insects in woodland habitats. Marion Soil and Water Conservation District: False Lily-of-the-Valley
Birds feed on the fruits, adding a later food resource to the woodland. Marion Soil and Water Conservation District: False Lily-of-the-Valley
