Five vats, one shirt
Each colour comes from one bath. Tap a vat and the shirt goes in.
Why we dye it last
- The thread takes the dye too
- Seams, buttonholes and the collar band turn the colour of the cloth, a shade deeper where the cotton is doubled.
- The bath shrinks it first
- Sixty degrees for forty minutes. What fits on the day it arrives fits after the fortieth wash.
- Every batch is a little different
- Your vat number is printed inside the collar, so you can order the same colour again.
