The Motif
Inspiration came from the student dormitory at Augustenburger Platz in Wedding.

Raw Material
Men's crew neck T-shirt "NO3" by Continental Clothing (CC). The stitching on the collar, sleeve hem and waist hem is double-layered and double-stitched. The collar is finely ribbed and the rear, inner seam is covered by a neck band that runs to the shoulder seam.
The shirt is made from 100% Turkish cotton. Fabric weight 165 g/qm (4.95oz/sq y). Dimensionally stable interlock, that means two fabric layers are woven against each other ('right-right-interlaced'). In comparison to single-jersey, interlock is somewhat denser and elastic and doesn't roll up. Machine washable at 30 °C. Always iron inside out at level 1.
Ecological and ethical orientation
The T-shirt meets the Oeko-Tex Standard 100, Class 1. This standard guarantees that textiles and dyes are not damaging to health or the environment. It ensures that a water treatment obligation protects local waters.
