And this tee is worth the time it takes to put on. Soft organic cotton, mid-light and breathable, it drapes rather than clings and holds up through a very long day - good for warm rooms, longer journeys and whatever the evening eventually turns into. However late you leave.

- Expect
- Tumble drying is what shrinks and distorts this one. Organic cotton may still settle a little over time.
- Embroidery
- The smooth surface takes fine stitching well.
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.
Chest width is measured flat, underarm to underarm — double it for the full way round.
How this one fits
Organic Mid-Light Tee
Very smooth and soft. Mid-weight organic cotton, 155gsm. No elastane, so no cling — it holds its own shape. Classic cut, not oversized or cropped. Soft handle, opaque, never heavy.
Cut
European fit — slimmer and more structured through the shoulder than a US blank. Square-looking shoulders on a smaller frame are the cut, not a flaw.
Sensory notes
- Inside back neck tape in self-fabric — no separate binding at the neck.
- Mid-light at 4.6 oz (155 g/m²).
- No elastane, so no cling.
- On an embroidered design, the reverse of the stitching has some texture inside.
Made responsibly
- GOTS certified (Global Organic Textile Standard).
- OCS certified (Organic Content Standard).
- GRS certified (Global Recycled Standard).

If you change your mind
We can’t take it back — each piece is made for you, so there’s no shelf for it to return to. Tell us within 30 days and we’ll still put it right: a discount next time, or a donation in your name to the charity we support.
