Weedy Seadragon | Organic Staple T-shirt
The weedy seadragon is one of Australia’s most spectacular underwater oddities, covered in leafy appendages that help it disappear among seaweed and seagrass. Found along the southern and eastern coasts of Australia, they drift through shallow coastal waters, feeding on tiny crustaceans by sucking them up with their long, tube-like snouts. And like their seahorse cousins, it’s the males that carry the eggs, attached beneath their tails until they hatch. Weedy seadragons face threats from habitat loss, pollution and damage to the seagrass and seaweed habitats they rely on. In Victoria, the Victorian National Parks Association runs Dragon Quest, a project helping monitor and understand weedy seadragon populations in Port Phillip and Western Port Bays.
- 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.
