Care

Relaxed, garment-dyed heavyweight long sleeve with rib cuffs, in the same cotton as the unisex tee, 6.1 oz a square yard. Garment-dyed, so each shirt's color varies slightly.

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.

It's the only specimen in the drawer looking back at you. The spines on its front legs are drawn in, row by row.

Print artwork: a green praying mantis in side profile with its folded front legs raised, a long thin body and wings, and its triangular head turned to look out, pinned through the back above a blank label.
