Humpback Whale | Organic Staple T-shirt
The mighty humpback whale is one of the ocean’s true showstoppers — despite weighing up to 40 tonnes, they launch into the air in breathtaking breaches and sing complex songs that travel for kilometres underwater. Every year they take on one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom, journeying up to 10,000 km between feeding and breeding grounds. Clever hunters too, they sometimes blow spirals of bubbles to trap fish in a “bubble-net feast.” Once hunted to the brink, humpbacks are now a conservation success story, their populations rebounding thanks to global protection. Yet they still face threats from entanglement, ship strikes, climate change, and noise pollution that disrupts their songs.
- 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.
