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.

Scarlet beebalm forms expanding patches as underground stolons send up new shoots. Crushing a leaf releases its minty scent. The epithet didyma refers to paired flowers, although the pairing becomes difficult to see as more blossoms open within each crowded head. NC State Extension: Monarda didyma
