Materials+
Cotton jersey
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, cotton jersey will hold its color, hand and line over time.
- Machine wash cold, inside out
- Hang dry
- Do not bleach
- Warm iron, avoid embroidery
Wash less than you think. Airing between wears keeps the garment newer than laundering it does.
Construction+
- Cotton jersey
- Shirred elastic waistband
- Side seam pockets
- Mid-length, sitting above the knee
- Rubberized OPTIMISM. hem label
- Twin-needle hem finish
