We all know that time can't be trusted. Some "times" it stretches forever, others it disappears and on occassion it simply decides it's not what you thought it was. To the time-challenged, a little reminder. Time is a slippery customer :)

- 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).
Shipping & Returns
Shipping
Made for you after you order — 1–5 working days to make, then 3–5 to arrive. Free over $70 / £60; below that, a standard flat rate shown at checkout.
If it arrives faulty
Damaged, misprinted or just wrong — that’s on us. Send your order number and a photo within 30 days of delivery and we’ll replace it or refund you in full. Not sure it counts? Tell us anyway.
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.
Do check the size guide above before you order — it has the real measurements, flat and unstretched. Our Gear explains how each piece is cut and how it wears, which is the other half of the question.
