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 boxes are still there.
You hear an apiary before you see it — the low working hum that carries further than the smell of the wax. The silent apiary is the one you walk into expecting that sound and receiving nothing. Every box upright. Every lid weighted. Every entrance open. The equipment survives the colony by years. Observe. Remember. Act.
Silence in an apiary is not peace. It is the loudest reading a keeper can take.
The garment.

Wash cold, inside out. Tumble dry low or hang. No iron on the print. Tend the conditions and it outlasts the season.
Every order ships with wildflower seeds, mailed separately by the keeper with a handwritten note. Not a promotion. Part of the discipline. ironhiveco.co/seeds
