Waffle Long-Sleeve — Bone

A waffle-knit long sleeve in bone, marked with the circular Fall 2026 seal at the chest and the house wordmark running the length of the sleeve. The back carries the full FALL 2026 / OPTIMISM. / BUILT WITH RESTRAINT lockup. The waffle structure holds air and gives the cropped body its weight.

Cotton waffle knit

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.

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

• Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out
• Reshape while damp and dry flat to protect the waffle structure
• Do not wring, do not bleach
• Cool iron on the reverse; steam rather than press
• Store folded, never hung — hanging drops the shoulder

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

• Circular FALL 2026 seal at the chest
• Black OPTIMISM. wordmark along the sleeve

Cropped and wide with a long sleeve. The body ends at the hip bone.

Take your usual size. Size down only if you prefer a trim silhouette. Cropped length: size up for more coverage through the body.

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.
