About this design
Looking away isn't rudeness, boredom or something to hide. For plenty of people, holding a gaze and taking in what's being said pull on the same attention, so the eyes go elsewhere and the listening gets better. The no-eye-contact thing? Not personal. Just processing. Stitched on the cuff, one line that saves a whole explanation.
Fabric & care
Specification
- 60% cotton / 40% acrylic
- cuffed knit
- one size
Care
- Wash
- By hand, in cool water with a mild detergent. Embroidery holds its shape best out of the machine.
- Dry
- Air dry flat, back to its own shape. Not in the dryer.
- Iron
- No — and never over the stitching.
- Bleach
- No.
- Expect
- A cotton-rich knit, so it relaxes to your head with wear.
Good to know
- A new print can smell faintly of vinegar, or carry a pale mark from the pre-treatment. Both wash out.
- Keep it out of direct sunlight before that first wash — the pre-treatment can sun-stain, and that doesn’t come out.
- No fabric softener. It dulls the print.
- On embroidery, iron around the stitching rather than over it. We’ve washed ours repeatedly and they’ve held up.

These are the garment’s own measurements, not body sizes — and one maker’s medium isn’t another’s, so it’s worth a look before you choose. Soft fabrics never cut quite identically, so allow a little either way.
Measured round the beanie before it stretches. The knit stretches to fit — Otto Cap size it one size fits most adults, up to a 22.8 in (58 cm) head.
How this one fits
Knit Beanie
A cuffed knit beanie in a cotton-rich blend rather than all acrylic. Form-fitting, so it sits close to the head, with the cuff doubling the fabric over the forehead and ears. One size, in a knit that stretches to fit most adult heads.
Cut
One size fits most adults. It measures 17.3–17.9 in (44–45.5 cm) round before it stretches, and Otto Cap size it for heads up to 22.8 in (58 cm).
Sensory notes
- Cotton-rich blend — 60% cotton, 40% acrylic rather than all acrylic.
- Cuffed, so the fabric is doubled over the forehead and ears.
- Form-fitting — it sits close to the head rather than slouching.
- The embroidery is stitched through the knit with backing behind it, and that backing sits against the forehead on a front-placed design.
- On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.

“I can make a statement without shouting”
Read the full review
This was gifted to me, and it’s now my favorite top. It works as a layering piece over t-shirts and vests, and is particularly good for after a workout or run. It’s very soft, nice color, and the badge is really well made. No one has mentioned it either and I like that I can make a statement without shouting. It’s original. I’m pleased.

“Neither of us had seen anything like it before.”
Read the full review
I bought this for my friend who has recently been diagnosed ADHD. She doesn’t know what to do with the news, so i thought the idea of it being complicated would resonate with her. She was over the moon. Neither of us had seen anything like it before. This is just after she washed it to test the embroidery so it's a bit creased, but the embroidery stayed true.

It’s a comfort colors T-shirt. I have a few already, as I like the feel and the colors are more modern than other brands, and have that lived-in feeling. They remind me of tees I had at college years ago, comfy, relaxed, and easy to wear. Just pick up off the floor and put it on :) recommend.

“It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle.”
Read the full review
This was a gift from someone who knows me well. It’s very nice. It’s soft and smooth; the embroidery is subtle. The off-white, cream colour is also very handy. I live in a hot place, so I need tees that work with lighter colours too. I would buy more.

Good to know
How does the sizing run?
Our unisex tees, sweatshirts and hoodies have a relaxed, regular fit. Between sizes? Size up for a roomier feel. Every product has its own measurements under Size & fit. See Our Gear for how each piece is cut, how it wears, and sensory notes on fabric, seams and labels.
When will it arrive?
Each piece is made for you, then posted to the UK and US: free on orders over £85 / $99, and a flat £3.99 / $4.99 below that. It’s usually with you in 5–10 working days, and you’ll get tracking as soon as it ships.
What if it isn’t right for me?
Tell us within 30 days for a replacement, a different piece or store credit. Return postage is paid by you. Arrived damaged or misprinted? Send us a photo within 30 days and we’ll replace or refund it.
How do I keep it looking good?
Turn it inside out, wash cool and skip the tumble dryer. Prints and stitching stay sharper for longer. Our Gear has care notes for every garment.
