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.

The print is drawn like a plate from an old field guide, with a ruler from 0 to 8 centimeters beside the specimen. The survey's notes sit under the wings. Specimen 031 was observed after 22:00 and filed under Nocturnal Field Operations. Its behavior was logged as suspicious.

Print artwork: a pale green luna moth with its wings spread, under a row of five orange moon phases and the navy title North American Night Moth Survey. Navy wildflowers stand on each side, and an orange ruler on the right is marked 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 cm. Orange typed notes under the moth read Behavior: suspicious, Specimen 031, Observed after 22:00. Along the bottom, between two orange rules: Nocturnal Field Operations.
