Spinifex Hopping Mouse | Organic Staple T-shirt
The spinifex hopping mouse is a tiny desert specialist with enormous ears, long hind legs and a habit of bounding across the outback like a miniature kangaroo. Found in the arid heart of Australia, it spends its nights searching for seeds and sheltering from the heat in deep burrows during the day. Remarkably, it can survive without drinking free water, getting almost all the moisture it needs from its food. Healthy desert ecosystems are vital for species like this, and organisations like Australian Wildlife Conservancy help protect the landscapes that support Australia’s unique arid-zone wildlife. Watching one hop through the sand is a bit like seeing a mouse accidentally discover it has springs for legs.
- 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.
