How does the Natural Blue Core Essential fit?

It uses the classic Spirit Jersey oversized cut with dropped shoulders and long cuffed sleeves. Most shoppers find it roomy and size down for a closer fit.

Yes, it is a cotton crewneck. Expect a substantial, slightly stiff feel when new that softens with washing.

What makes the natural dye different?

The color comes from soil, mineral and vegetable pigments rather than synthetic dyes. The process uses less water and fewer synthetic chemicals, and slight shade variation is normal.

Natural dyes can shift with sun and repeated washing. Wash cold and inside out, and dry away from direct sun to slow fading.

What sizes are available?

It comes in XS through XXL. Check the size chart against the oversized fit before ordering.

Is it good for layering?

Yes. The relaxed body and long cuffed sleeves work over a tee, and the cotton weight suits cool weather.
