The Motif
Inspiration came from the bifurcation of the Spree in front of the Bode Museum on Museum Island, Berlin Mitte. Photos and explanations of the actual location can be found under
Bod-ee.
Raw Material
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.
The Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) promotes fair working conditions in the textile industry worldwide.
The printing plant obtains its dyes from the company Sericol Ltd., which carries the certificate of the quality management system ISO 9000. In comparison to conventional inks, these plastisol inks are environmentally friendly and not damaging to health. In 1993 Sericol was awarded the enironmental prize of the British Queen.
