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 foreign fountaingrass
Cenchrus × cupreus (Thorpe) Govaerts
Foreign fountaingrass owes its origin to cultivation. It is a perennial tuft-forming grass, although cold temperate climates often limit it to a single growing season. The familiar purple-leaved plants have also been sold as Pennisetum setaceum “Rubrum,” despite their distinct hybrid identity. Faccenda: Hawaiian grass records, Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 148
Native range
As a horticultural hybrid, it has no ordinary wild native range. Introduced records include California, Florida, Texas and Hawaii. On Maui, herbarium-backed observations document spreading plants associated with former plantings. Kew: Cenchrus × cupreusFaccenda: Hawaiian grass records, Bishop Museum Occasional Papers 148
