Black-fronted Dotterel (Small design)| Organic Staple T-shirt
The black-fronted dotterel is a tiny, feisty bird with a flair for fashion! Sporting a bold black “necklace” across its chest and a dramatic black mask around its eyes, this little wader looks like it’s always dressed to impress. Despite its small size (about the size of a sparrow), this bird has a big personality—darting around muddy riverbanks like it owns the place! You'll often see them tiptoeing along the water’s edge, poking their beaks into the mud for tasty bugs and critters, almost like they’re on a treasure hunt. If you get too close, they’ll give you a quick “chip chip” warning and scurry off in the blink of an eye. These little adventurers are true survivors, thriving in all kinds of Aussie landscapes, from dry outback rivers to coastal wetlands. They might be small, but they’re tough, adaptable, and always ready to show off their snazzy black-and-white attire. How’s that for style?
- 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.
