Outside is where it is best. A dirt track, tall grass, a stick that suddenly matters.
The cactus stands out in the sun with you, takes it, blooms eventually. Home dusty by evening, back out tomorrow.

Garment measurements, laid flat, in cm. Your chest circumference divided by two plus about 5 cm gives the right chest width.
Material
100% organic cotton, GOTS-certified. Single jersey at 180 g/m²: mid-weight, smooth, with body. Not a see-through cheap tee.
- Thermoregulating, kind to skin, absorbent
- GOTS-certified production, fair wages
- Plastic-free packaging
- Knitted in the EU, sewn and printed in our own production in Fafe, Portugal
Organic cotton needs 88% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton, and 80% of it grows on rain alone. No toxic chemicals in the process, and at the end the fabric can be recycled back into fabric. The figures come from Das Merch, our own production: dasmerch.com/nachhaltigkeit
Fit
Dad: Oversized. Straight cut, deliberately roomy, broad through the shoulder, loose drape. Runs a size wider than a standard tee. If you like it close to the body, size down.
Kid: Regular cut, same fabric, same print. Kids' sizes 92–152 (approx. 1 to 14 years), and XXS–XXL above that. Go by height, the number is the height in cm.
- Crew neck with a narrow, wide-set ribbed collar
- Set-in sleeves
- Wide double topstitching at the sleeve hems and the bottom hem
Care & origin
- Machine wash at 30 °C, inside out. The cotton could take more, the print couldn't.
- No tumble dryer, no dry cleaning.
- Ironing is fine, just never over the print.

The apple never falls far & from the tree.
Two pairs of shoes by the door, one big, one small. Out you go: woods, meadow, puddle. The rest sorts itself out along the way.
Cactus
Comes along into the woods, up the hill, into the puddle behind the house. By evening everything smells like outside — and tomorrow you go again.
