Lava Ink is currently running polls on this blog to determine what maketh a great t shirt. The aim is to establish what makes your favourite t shirt… your favourite.
To me, my Guess t shirt which is about 7 years old now, has been the best piece of apparel that I’ve ever purchased. It is a medium fit, olive green t shirt made of 100% cotton fabric and has never distorted, even after years of washing. The colour has faded somewhat but it gives the t shirt a vintage look. The other amazing thing about this t shirt is that there has been very little fibre loss which says loads about the quality of the fabric used.
Please leave a comment (below) about your favourite tee and vote (in the far right column) so that we may cater for your fLava.
