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 white turtlehead
Chelone glabra L.
White turtlehead earns its name from a flower that looks almost closed. The upper lip arches over the lower one, forming the rounded outline that suggested a turtle’s head. Flowers gather in dense clusters at the tops of upright stems, opening progressively from the lower part of a cluster upward. White is typical, sometimes with a hint of pink.
