To quote the Authentic T-shirt Company, “ATC Earth Wash [offers] the soft familiarity of your favorite vintage washed tee, complete with the feel-good vibes of responsible manufacturing in brilliant hues unearthed by nature.” Made of a 60/40 cotton/ClearPoly blend, the tee provides the soft feel of cotton, the durability of polyester and an exceptionally smooth surface that is as easy to print on as an all-cotton garment, no extra steps necessary. Specifically, owing to the company’s use of ClearPoly polyester and the garment’s single dye process, there is no color to migrate and, by extension, no need for any kind of base blocker or pretreatment. “Enjoy using the same inks and temperatures you are already using,” the company says. Better still, the ATC Earth Wash production process is OEKO-TEX certified from beginning to end and entirely free of “forever chemicals.” The production process results in zero water and product waste as well, leaving only “rich, nature-inspired hues in a comfortable fit.” For more information, go to sanmarcanada.com.
