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 paleyellow touch-me-not
Impatiens aurella Rydb.
This touch-me-not uses two ways of producing seeds. Early flowers remain closed and self-pollinate; later flowers open their petals. Ripe capsules from the open flowers burst and throw seeds away from the parent, while capsules from the closed flowers remain non-explosive and contain smaller seeds.

British Columbian populations occupy moist streambanks and meadows in lower mountain and steppe settings.
