Greetings Shirt Ls R T S Co 200asf

DESCRIPTION
  • Greetings Shirts are wide, a little cropped and oversized in general.
  • They’re sort of like a big retro bowling shirt, and this one is made of 100% cotton-linen.
  • The Sun Faded Capsule
  • One of the things we’ve always loved about vintage is the way garments fade after years of wear in the sun.
  • Sometimes brands recreate that look with chemicals or artificial processes (some of the better ones use lasers, which is very Star Trek).
  • Natural dyes naturally fade (or, in some cases, darken (tan)) over time with exposure to the sun, making them more beautiful every day they’re worn.
  • We don’t - we use the sun (also this is a reminder to always wear sunscreen).
  • The Sun Faded Capsule is a little slice of our R.T.S. line where we pre-fade items a little to get them started.
  • They look gorgeous and vintage but their story isn’t finished.
  • It's on to you to wear and love them to keep developing them.
  • We’re releasing this in batches, and they’re quite time and labour-intensive so grab one if you like it because we aren’t sure when we can get more out in the sun.
  • CO-200ASF
  • This dye is a combination of natural indigo and madder - dyed in layers.
  • Natural dyeing isn’t at all like mixing paints - you dont mix Indigo and Madder into purple and then dye with that - that would never work.
  • It's more like creating different colours by shining light through different coloured lenses to create the one you want - we dye a layer of madder, then overdye with a layer (or sometimes layers) of natural indigo and we get this ‘blurple’ effect.
  • What makes it particularly special is that the two dyes react differently to sunlight.
  • Madder fades taking its red tones down to sherbert-y pinks relatively fast, while the natural indigo strain we use very slowly dulls so you end up with a fabric that goes from a ‘blurple’ to an almost purpley-elephant-grey-blue.
  • At every stage it's ‘the best colour I’ve ever seen’ so it’s understandably everyone’s favourite dye that we do.
  • It is, of course, also the most expensive and hardest to make - drawing upon every drip of expertise from the dyers to get right.
  • We’re all really proud.
  • To fade them, as you might have guessed, we place them in the sun.
  • It’s an homage to the sun-faded vintage we love.
  • Again, to get this effect anywhere else you’d use chemicals or, in the most up-to-date wash houses, maybe lasers.
  • Nevertheless, we prefer the sun.
  • It will continue to fade and change as you wear and love it, but this gives it a good nudge in a beautiful direction.
  • Speaking of, when me and Katy were abroad once, we overheard someone in a vegan cafe post-yoga telling some other westerners about the power of walking outside naked in the morning light to “absorb the divine masculine” via your genitals.
  • She was really passionate about it.
  • I don’t think we finished our toast, but that really stuck with me, so in an effort to let go, I’m passing it on to you.
  • *Each shirt features a unique fade, making every piece one of a kind.
  • Fades will vary, and we’re unable to accommodate specific requests.
