Fat-tailed Dunnart | Organic Staple T-shirt
The fat-tailed dunnart is a tiny nocturnal marsupial with an impressive built-in pantry. Its thick tail stores fat to help it survive when food is scarce. Found across much of southern and central Australia, it shelters during the day before heading out at night to hunt insects, spiders and other small prey. Despite weighing only around 15 grams, these little predators are energetic hunters and can tackle prey surprisingly close to their own size. They face threats from habitat loss, changes to fire regimes and introduced predators, particularly cats and foxes. Organisations such as the For the love of Wildlife work to rewild habitats like those these tiny marsupials depend on.
- Fabric: Mid weight, 100% combed organic cotton (15% viscose in marle colourways) sustainably grown without herbicides or pesticides.
- Fit: Regular fit with a crew neck.
- Construction: Side-seamed, GOTS-certified, with neck ribbing, shoulder-to-shoulder tape, and double needle hems. It is also pre-shrunk to minimize shrinkage.
Care- for maximum print life:
- Turn inside out: Always invert your shirt before putting it in the wash to reduce friction against the Direct-to-Garment (DTG) ink.
- Cold & gentle: Wash the garment on a cold cycle (under 30°C) on your machine's gentlest setting.
- Mild detergent only: Use standard, mild washing powder. Avoid heavy-duty detergents, enzymes, and bleaching agents (even non-chlorine ones, if possible).
- No softeners: Do not use fabric softeners, as these can strip or degrade the coloured inks.
