Updated version of the 2023 Boxy Tee- a relaxed, drop-shoulder tee with sturdy chain-stitched shoulder-tape & vintage-style blind hems.
The first of our locally grown & foraged dye offerings, this 100% pant-based indigo was produced by Tennessee natural dye maker, Stony Creek, in collaboration with nearby farms. Part of a regenerative farming effort, the partnering growers integrated the plants as cover crop, reducing soil erosion and improving soil microbial quality- a technique known to increase atmospheric carbon capture & reduce nematodes while providing a good financial return for the grower.
Each Tee is individually hand-dyed, each unique in character.
This cozy, thick, jersey is made from Organic Upland Cotton grown by T.O.C.M.C., a co-operative of organic farmers in South Plains Texas.
After the raw cotton is locally ginned (the process of removing/ obtaining seeds) & carded (the process of cleaning and webbing the fibres into a continuous form), the resulting soft sliver is both spun into yarns & knitted into fabric in the Carolinas. The yarn-spinning mill is one of two small mills in the US that will spin organic cotton.
Each T-shirt is finished with a hand-chronicled label tracing the cotton's journey from farm-to-final-textile.

**Please note that the character of naturally dyed items may change over time and that indigo garments (especially when new) may crock color on to other lighter items. Also, some natural dyes can lighten or darken with citrus and perspiration.
