Chainstitch Tee - Supima Cotton

Our tee is made from Supima cotton (known for its strength, softness, and color fastness) and features chainstitched double-fold hems for an elegant, minimalist finish that also increases drape and recovery.

We created this lichen green by first dying the tee in myrobalan that yields buttery yellows. Next we prepared a weak iron solution and briefly immersed it to shift the color.

Note that slight variations in color may occur among dye lots and are attendant to the natural dye process.
