Magpie-Lark | Organic Staple T-shirt
The magpie-lark, often called a peewee or mudlark, is a familiar black-and-white bird found near water, parks and backyards across much of Australia. Known for its sharp pee-wee! call and bold personality, it feeds on insects and other small creatures picked up from the ground or shallow water. Magpie-larks build impressive mud nests, sometimes using hundreds of beakfuls of wet clay. Fun fact: both parents help build the nest, taking turns to carefully plaster on the mud.
- 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.
