Ulysses Butterfly | Organic Staple T-shirt
The Ulysses Butterfly is one of Australia's most dazzling residents, with wings so vivid, they seem almost unreal! Found mainly in the rainforests of northeastern Queensland, this butterfly has iridescent blue wings that shimmer in the sunlight, with dark borders and striking black bodies that make it look like it’s painted with the finest brushstrokes. With a wingspan of up to 10 cm, it flits through the forest with a graceful, almost magical quality, often darting between trees and flowers. The Ulysses Butterfly is not just a beauty to behold; it’s also a skilled navigator, thriving in the dense, humid rainforests where it feeds on the nectar of native plants. Its bold colors act as a warning to predators, signaling that it's not a tasty meal! If you're lucky enough to spot one, you’re seeing a true icon of Australian wildlife—bright, bold, and utterly unforgettable.
- 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.
