Created in the tradition of 19th-century botanical plates, then reviewed by hand before it goes anywhere near a shirt. Yours is printed fresh when you order it.
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.

Celosia argentea L.
Celosia argentea is a tropical African annual whose wild-form flower spikes differ markedly from cultivated cockscombs. Kew’s Flora of Iraq account discusses the modified flowering forms produced in cultivation. The species belongs to the amaranth family, with many small flowers packed into each dense inflorescence.
