I was initially a bit concerned ordering this awesome retro tee online from a place I had never heard of. Luckily, the team at OXKNIT were fast with their delivery (approx. 10 days to Central ONTARIO), and the quality of the tee I purchased was awesome.
As someone who sells their own screen printed tees online, I often shop for tees from other online shops to see what's out there. The Oxknit 70's retro striped tee definitly did not disappoint. A lot of times, retailers will sublimate a print onto a polyester tee which is something that not only feels gross, but can hold and retain chemicals from detergents, and body sweat making the garment STANKY over a few washings. Further, polyester material is a huge contributor to microplastics in the world's waterways. This garment was made from 100% cotton and the stripes are actually knit so there is no risk of premature fading (for best results to prevent fading for ALL cotton dyed material is to do the first washing and include a handful of table salt to really set the dye). Also minimizing the addition of unnecessary plastics in the water.
I just ordered three more tees from them and am pretty pumped to get them into my regular rotation. I have recently lost a bit of weight and I think the new garments will help showcase my improved physique!
Many thanks to Oxknit and can't wait to see future retro products!
