Description

This t-shirt has a unisex fit, women may prefer to size down for a closer fit.

Our newest T-shirt CornFibe™, is made using Sorona® a biopolymer made of naturally fermented corn sugar, making use of an ingredient that is often discarded during dent corn processing. We blend the corn fibers with organic cotton which is responsibly sourced from the best cotton producers in Turkey.

The fabric is breathable, light and has a natural stretch without the use of spandex or lycra. It’s the perfect addition to a more conscious wardrobe choice and will go great alongside one of our SeaFibe™ or SoyFibe™ fabrics. Visit the recipe page to see how our latest T-shirt is made.
