Pondi T-Shirt

If tees were classified in boxing terms, this one would be Muhammad Ali. It’s heavyweight, made with 210gsm durable organic cotton.

The fabric was left over from a large supplier order, so instead of it sitting unused in a warehouse (we don’t want that), we bought it so we could transform it into this beauty. Sustainability at its best.

Marcus wears a size S and is 6”0 in height. 

100% Organic Heavyweight Cotton

Taking care of me:

-Wash me at 30°

-Air dry only (tumble drying creates 75% of the carbon footprint of a garment. Let's look after the planet - it does give us a lot after all).

Organic cotton care:

Expect 5% shrinkage on first wash.

'Normal' cotton is treated with a huge number of chemicals to reduce heat shrinkage. Our Organic cotton has no nasty chemicals, which is kind to your skin, however, a high heat wash will cause an additional 5% shrinkage. Organic cotton will last longer with proper care, as it's not exposed to the weakening, harsh chemicals that 'normal' cotton is.

The earth be like, thank you.
