These cotton long sleeved T's are upcycled from unwanted promotional T-shirts discarded by a business in our neighborhood. We helped them manage this excess garment "waste" by turning these unloved tops into unique pieces that celebrate transformation fluidity and creative self expression.
The original T's were turned inside out and restructured to create utilitarian folded pockets along the bottom of the T, the sleeves were extended, and the T's were stripped of their luridly bright color to create a unique new tone inspired by nature; lichen. As we remove the dye in small batches, slight variation in tones may occur. Dye cannot be stripped from the thread so it remains as a colorful detail that nods to the transformation process behind these shirts.
Traces of the original print may be visible, showing the dynamic history and layered narrative that make these shirts so uniquely anti-waste. We love them for their non-automated, DIY feel, and cropped boxy fit.
