Care

Garment-dyed, so each shirt's color varies slightly. Wash cold to keep the length.

Colors on screen are approximate, and light inks can look slightly tinted on red or maroon shirts. A faint square around the print right out of the package is the printer's pretreatment and washes out in the first wash.

Observe a little closer.

No two of the nine are the same kind: long-horned ones, round ones, one with a stag beetle's jaws. Each wing case has its own small pattern.

Print artwork: nine beetles of different kinds pinned in a three-by-three grid like a museum drawer, in teal, rust, violet, gold, olive and pink, each with its own folk pattern on its back and a blank label beneath.
