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 giant blue iris
Iris giganticaerulea Small
Giant blue iris has a seed-dispersal mechanism closely tied to water. After flowering, its stalk lengthens and bends down, bringing the capsule into the water. As the capsule wall breaks down and the seed attachments separate, the corky seeds rise to the surface. Flora of North America, volume 26, page 394: Iris giganticaerulea
