The tee, an essential top half piece!  Whether you are into layers, wearing one in all weathers or just rock your tee solo style, our loose fit wool tees turn heads.  Available in 3 lengths and body widths tailored to you, each tee has a cute and simple trim neck with a short sleeve that can be rolled up for another look.

Available in the four iconic Element colours and available in all three of our unique fabric qualities which have woven by us in our mill in Scotland.  We give you more, with access to the full range of options direct from our planet and people first design archives.  These are our bad-ass books of how to always wear your values and look amazing!  See full details below.

What It's Made Of

  • Made with 100% finest natural merino wool
  • Spun and dyed in Scotland
  • Woven into tartan fabrics by us at our Highland mill
  • All labels made from hand cut and laser etched Scottish leather

Who It's Made By

  • Made by bad-ass womxn and men of the Scottish Highlands 
  • Proudly preserving century old textile skills and machinery
  • Also proudly disrupting the world of future clothing, we have seen the past and it works!

• Size – Made to Measure, please specify your preferred tee length, your maximum bust size and note down the widest hip circumference. These sizes are so that we can make you the best fitting tee you have ever owned. Your tee will be made to order, then despatched within 2 weeks of the fabric being woven during the 4 X A Year batch period.

• Length – you can select from our three tee lengths. The length in inches listed is from the top of the tee to the bottom of the hem. We have a crop at 18”, a waist at 23” and a hipster length of 28”

• Max Bust & Widest Hips – we ask this to make sure that if you go for the waist or hipster length we want to make sure the tee fits comfortably. As this tee is made from wool there is a little give but we would not want it to be too tight. So where your hips are larger than your bust then we would use your hip size to guide us for the overall tee width.

• Neck Opening – a maximum of 24” head circumference

• Sleeve Sizes & Length – this is a loose fitting sleeve by design and have listed the maximum bicep sizes for you to select from. All sleeves are 8” long.

• Item Finishing – Hemmed sleeves and tee bottom, with branded real leather label specifying the makers batch.

• Fabric Design - The Elements of Endurance Tartan, designed by us!

• Weave Design - repeated throughout the fabric is the alchemy element symbols, earth, air, water and fire, represented in triangle form.

• Fabric Repeat – all fabric has been cut by hand from the cloth roll woven at our mill, therefore aspects of the repeat will be unique to each item, which is pretty cool as it makes them all unique!

• Colour Options - Earth (brown), Air (grey), Water (blue) and Fire (red), each element tartan features four colours from the colour family it represents.

• Fabric Weight Options - Medium (compact and cosy), Heavy (dense and structured), Light (open and delicate)

Here we proudly share with you our less than x 1 mark-up that we apply, and how this garment has been costed.

Most brands in the 'fashion' world add multipliers of x 2 for wholesale then add another x 2 for retail. When you buy direct from us its a less than x 1, we use the profits from everything we create to support more fairly paid jobs and push the textile world to be more eco-conscious. But we do a lot more like donating to charities and education bodies. This is what we proudly call our ethical pay it forward mark up.

The cost breakdown example for the Tee in a crop is as follows;
Fabric Cost £28.24
Labour To Make £35.00
QC, Labelling & Packing £8.00
Overheads (incl insurance, premise costs etc) £14.25
Total Cost To Company £85.49
Ethical Pay It Forward Mark Up x 0.46 £39.51

Time to Make : 1.75hrs
Cut 0.25hrs
Overlock 0.25hrs
Assemble 1hr
Trim & Press 0.25hrs

NB – the price variations are to cover the additional fabric cost.

For Cost Per Wear (CPW) we just wanted to share how buying less, paying ethical prices, loving and wearing more is actually really affordable, it’s all about the number of wears!

You wear the item 3 times a week for the next 3 years, that is 468 wears. The CPW is £125 divided by 468 wears, Cost Per Wear 27p!

Read more about our transparent pricing and processes here.

It is something the 'fashion' world in particular is really bad at.... but we are bad-ass so nothing to hide under this piece of tartan, nothing bad but maybe an ass!

We want to help be part of the solution that drives regenerative change. Buying less, loving more, paying ethical prices and feeling awesome is what we are all about.

To do that, we have these yes we give a sh#t options for you!

Fantastic!!!

Absolutely stunning piece of cloth, made with a lot of love and by heart- I've already worn it several times and IT will be my favourite for sure. Not cheap but worth every penny. Would be great if the shipping to Germany wouldn't be that expensive. Thank you so much for your passion!
