$60.00
Size: 
[100% Reclaimed Waste Cotton] • [Carbon-Negative Algae Ink™] • [100% Plastic-Free & Compostable] • [Unisex Regular Straight Fit]

Heavyweight 6.5 oz regular fit long sleeve cut from 100% reclaimed industrial cotton waste in raw, unbleached Natural. Detailed across the front with an expressive, hand-stamped kāpala motif in carbon-negative Black Algae Ink™ and finished with a clean, unprinted back. Built with traditional set-in shoulders, a classic streetwear length that drapes cleanly below the hip, and complete freedom from synthetic plastics.

Pattern Moʻolelo: Kōnane

From our Mai Kahiko Mai design series, the Kōnane (checkerboard) motif honors our kūpuna (ancestors) and reminds us of our orientation to the many wao (environmental and spiritual realms) that serve as our foundation. It functions as an ancestral compass, embodying balance, deliberate movement, and ecological relationship.

Each piece is individually stamped by hand across the front torso in our Richmond studio using traditional kāpala techniques and bio-based Algae Ink™, yielding subtle variations across every garment while keeping the back panel quietly minimal.

  • Fit & Sizing: Relaxed straight unisex cut with traditional set-in shoulders and sleeves that fall naturally with the arm. Preshrunk. Model is 5'7", 164 lbs, 32" waist, wearing a size Medium.

  • Circular Construction: 100% natural plant fibers with a soft bamboo neck label. Sheds zero microplastics in the wash and is completely compostable at end of life.

  • Studio Dispatch: Hand-finished and dispatched directly from Richmond, CA.

  • Studio Dispatch: Hand-finished and dispatched directly from Richmond, CA.

    • Cut Profile: Relaxed straight fit featuring traditional set-in shoulders (no dropped shoulders), sturdy ribbed cuffs, a reinforced crew collar, and sleeves cut to fall naturally along the arm.

    • Streetwear Silhouette: Classic, easy drape with generous body length designed to hang straight and flow comfortably below the hip line.

    • Model Dimensions: Model is 5'7", 164 lbs, with a 32" waist, photographed wearing a size Medium in Natural.

    • Fit Guidance: True to size for a classic straight streetwear profile. Size down if you prefer a closer, tailored fit.

    • Preshrunk: Garment industrially washed to stabilize the weave. Preshrunk with less than 2% shrinkage when washed cold and hung dry.

    • Fiber Base: 100% Reclaimed Waste Cotton. Spun from industrial textile cutting remnants—cutting-room scraps, floor lint, and dust bunnies diverted directly from landfill waste streams. Zero virgin crop cultivation, zero synthetic polyester,and zero agricultural water waste.

    • Raw & Undyed Natural: Left entirely unbleached and undyed. Skipping the dye vat eliminates industrial chemical runoff and preserves the natural warmth, texture, and fleck of unadulterated cotton cellulose.

    • Carbon-Negative Algae Ink™: Standard black screen inks rely on petrochemical carbon black derived from fossil fuels.We hand-stamp using Algae Ink™ by Living Ink Technologies—a water-based, OEKO-TEX certified pigment formulated from living algae cells that sequesters more carbon during growth than it emits in processing.

    • Artisan Placement: Stamped exclusively across the front panel and lower hem insignia, leaving the reverse back blank to highlight the natural drape of the reclaimed fabric.

    • 100% Plastic-Free & Compostable: Pure plant cellulose from seam to hem. It sheds zero synthetic microplastics into waterways during laundering and can safely return to the soil as backyard compost at end of life.

    • Trims & Labels: Finished with 100% soft bamboo fabric labels—free from scratchy polyester weaves or plastic heat transfers.

    • Milling & Origin: Ethically spun, knit, and sewn in Los Angeles by Everybody.World; hand-stamped and finished in our SF East Bay studio.

    • Washing: Turn garment inside out. Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild, plant-based detergent to protect raw cotton fibers and hand-printed Algae Ink™ artwork.

    • Drying: Line dry in shade to preserve cotton tensile strength and save grid energy, or tumble dry low.

    • Steaming & Ironing: Steam freely to release packing wrinkles, or iron warm inside out. Never apply direct dry iron heat onto the printed front ink artwork.
