    Product Story+

    A cropped taupe long-sleeve with a square neckline, seamed corset-style front panels, a pointed hem, a small OPTIMISM. at the chest and OPTIMISM. International artwork across the back.

    Materials+

    Made in small runs and checked against the house standard — seam, print placement, hardware and label — before it is packed and sent. We describe the cloth as it is; weight and handfeel are what you will receive.

    Care & Keeping+

    Made to be worn, not preserved. Cared for as directed below, will hold its color, hand and line over time.

      Wash less than you think. Airing between wears keeps the garment newer than laundering it does.

      Fit, US Sizing & Measurements+

      True to Size · Cropped Length

      TightFittedTrueRelaxedOversized

      Cut true to US standard sizing. It follows the body without pulling. The length is cropped — it sits above the natural waist.

      Cropped, close-fitting silhouette with a pointed hem. Top only; trousers and sneakers not included.

      Take your usual size. Cropped length: size up for more coverage through the body.

      We would rather you order once. The first chart is your body; the second is the garment laid flat. Both are stated to the half inch and can vary a little from piece to piece, as cut cloth does. If you are unsure, write to us with your measurements and we will tell you plainly which size to take.

      Questions+
      How should I size this piece?
      US standard sizing. Take your usual size. Cropped length: size up for more coverage through the body. Cropped, close-fitting silhouette with a pointed hem. Top only; trousers and sneakers not included. The charts above give your body measurements and the garment laid flat, both to the half inch.
      Will the color or wash change over time?
      Washed and dyed pieces settle with wear. Follow the care notes and the change stays even — that softening is part of the garment, not a fault.
      When will it arrive?
      Checked against the house standard before dispatch. Sent within 5–7 business days. USD 7 domestic shipping (free over USD 45), 5–10 business days after dispatch. International arranged on request.
      Can I return or exchange it?
      30 days to return unworn pieces with tags attached.
      Will this be made again?
      Runs are small and finite. When a piece closes, it is held in the record rather than reproduced.
