    Product Story+

    A slim cropped raglan tee in black with contrast white shoulder panels and a white OPTIMISM. chest mark. The raglan seam runs from collar to underarm, giving the shoulder a soft, continuous line.

    Materials+

    Stretch 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, stretch cotton jersey will hold its color, hand and line over time.

    • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
    • Wash with like colors, inside out
    • Dry flat in shade to protect the stretch
    • Do not bleach, do not tumble dry — heat breaks down elastane
    • Cool iron on the reverse if needed

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

    Construction+
    • Slim cropped body
    • Raglan sleeve construction
    • Contrast white shoulder panels
    • White OPTIMISM. chest mark
    • Ribbed collar
    • Stretch cotton jersey with recovery
