BELLA+CANVAS 3001 — Unisex Jersey Tee
Standard retail fit. Sizes step 2" in the chest at every size, XS through 5XL — no jumps, no surprises. Runs true to size for most people; if you prefer a closer fit, size down.
Measurements are taken flat. Chest is half the garment; double it for the full circumference. Body length is measured from the high point of the shoulder.
100% combed and ring-spun cotton. Side-seamed, shoulder taping, tear-away label. Sizes XS–5XL.
BELLA+CANVAS 3010C — Unisex Heavyweight Tee
Heavier hand, boxier cut, drop shoulder. Runs roomier than the standard 3001 at every size — most noticeably in the smaller range, where XS is more than five inches larger around than a 3001 XS.
Note the sizing cadence: the chest steps 2" through M, then 4" from L up. If you're between M and L, L will run noticeably wider. Size down for a closer fit.
Measurements are taken flat. Chest is half the garment; double it for the full circumference. Body length is measured from the high point of the shoulder.
100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, 6.0 oz, 20 singles. Side-seamed, shoulder taping, tear-away label. Sizes XS–3XL.

The waggle dance solved navigation before anyone thought to look.
A forager comes back from a mile out and runs a figure-eight on vertical comb in total darkness. The angle she holds off gravity is the angle of the food off the sun. The length of the run is the distance. Her sisters read it by touch and vibration, in the dark, and fly out to a point they have never seen. The tree here is rendered as the instrument it always was — roots in comb, branches in star-chart, the dance plotted at the center at thirty degrees, the transmission carrying out past the crown. We did not invent the observatory. We just finally noticed we were standing in one. Observe · Document · Transmit.
She has never seen the field. She flies straight to it.
