Yellow-bellied Sheathtail Bat | Organic Staple T-shirt
The yellow-bellied sheathtail bat is a true night owl of the Aussie skies, known for its sleek, aerodynamic shape and a belly that's, you guessed it, yellow! This small, insect-eating bat has a unique feature: a "sheath" that covers its tail, making it look like it’s rocking a tiny, bat-sized cape. Found in northern Australia, the yellow-bellied sheathtail bat is a master of catching flying insects on the wing, swooping around like a furry little acrobat. Despite its rather adorable name and appearance, this bat is all business when it comes to hunting – zipping through the night with impressive speed and agility. It’s like the superhero of the night sky, silently patrolling the airways while keeping the insect population in check!
- 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.
