Raw cotton sourced directly from small-holders farms in southern Kyrgyzstan. Handmade screenprint with GOTS certified water-based colors.
↗ Fair traded organic cotton from controlled cultivation with a regulated minimum price. Grown without synthetic inputs, requires less energy to produce, can capture carbon and contributes to healthier soil.

Timeless style with a perfect tailored fit. No trendy cuts or embellishments, just a simple silhouette that's been refined to fit right in all the right places. The heavy-weight fabric gives this white t-shirt an ultra-flattering drape.
ALL TEES ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL
Have you ever dug into how your t-shirt is made? We did. We traced every material down, from the cottonseed cultivation in Kyrgyzstan to cut & sew in the Czech Republic, ensuring direct-trade practices, fair pay, and safe working conditions along the way.
DESIGN IS IN THE DETAILS
Despite the t-shirt being a simple and ubiquitous garment, each brand has subtle differences in fit, fabric, and construction that you may only notice subconsciously. Our tees may not look different on the outside, but as soon as you put one on you’ll understand why they have become our go-to tees.
