What\u2019s The Fit Like?<\/span><\/h3>\n

What makes the perfect T-shirt? After years of sourcing tees, studying our team\u2019s age-old favourites, and trying different brands on for size, we\u2019ve found our formula. <\/span><\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s got to be organic cotton. We touch-tested tee after tee and organic cotton <\/span>is <\/span><\/i>softer than regular, a lot softer. To get technical about it, it\u2019s because the cotton fibres are longer, resulting in a softer fabric that\u2019s longer-lasting too.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Next it\u2019s all about the thickness \u2013 you want to capture that balance between crisp and light in sunnier times, but thick enough that it sits just right and isn\u2019t semi-see through. After some tweaking of the dials, we landed at a tasty 200gsm. <\/span><\/p>\n

Then of course, there\u2019s fit. Sometimes you want a tee to be oversized, but we hate when a T-shirt arrives double the size you expected, so The Everpress Classic T-shirt fits perfectly true to size, and is a relaxed fit that finishes on the hip.  <\/span><\/p>\n

And not to forget about durability. When we love our T-shirts we wear them again and again, so The Everpress Classic has been created to be unbelievably long-lasting. <\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Who Is It For?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We believe that creativity is for everybody, so we made a T-shirt that\u2019s for everybody too. With sizing that runs from XXS to XXXXXL, our very own Everpress Classic T-shirt is the most inclusive tee on our site. <\/span><\/p>\n

Will The Print Really Last?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We think T-shirts are canvases. So we wanted to create a tee that would do justice to its design. <\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

The Everpress Classic tee is crafted from combed cotton. To get technical again, combed cotton means an extra step in the manufacturing process, in which the cotton fibres are combed to remove debris, impurities and any shorter threads. This creates a fabric that\u2019s both softer (we like soft) and a smoother surface to print on. Which means as precise a print as possible, and helps the print last wash after wash too. <\/span><\/p>\n

And while we\u2019re talking prints, we use super-durable water-based inks which are totally toxin-free and vegan. So they\u2019re kind to the planet, kind to animals and kind on skin.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

What About The Workshop?<\/span><\/h3>\n

And finally, let\u2019s talk production. The Everpress Classic T-shirt is made at a Sedex-monitored workshop in Cairo. An international, independent body, Sedex rigorously investigates workplaces according to their four pillars of: Labour Standards, Health & Safety, Environment and Business Ethics. The workshop puts its workers at the fore, from paying fair wages to providing transport and meals for all employees.  <\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

We care about keeping our carbon footprint low, and so do our suppliers. They will only ship T-shirt orders out to our printing houses when the shipping containers are full \u2013 instead of shipping on demand. This is a great example of sustainability in practice. Not some big showy initiative. But instead a common-sense approach that values lowering emissions over things like time efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, while most factories ship products to warehouses out using one polybag per garment (making a lot of fucking waste) \u2013 ours uses one recycled and recyclable polybag per 100 garments. Considerably minimising waste.<\/span><\/p>\n
