This stone-washed cotton t-shirt is made from 100% natural cotton and reaches you after a double stone-washing process. Size L is recommended for a chest circumference of around 100–108 cm; body length 65 cm, half-chest width 47 cm. On the deep, saturated burgundy base a unique dragon mandala motif appears on the chest — in contrasting white print.
Dragon and mandala in a single design
"Mandala" is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle"; in the Buddhist and Hindu traditions it stands for wholeness and finding the centre. The dragon is a symbol of wisdom, power and good fortune in Eastern traditions — Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese alike. On this t-shirt the two motifs meet in a single circular, geometric pattern: the dragon's form is arranged in a mandala-like, symmetrical way. It speaks at once of inner centredness and of preserved strength.
Why a deep burgundy base?
Burgundy is traditionally the colour of fire, celebration and dignity — a recurring companion of dragon depictions in many Eastern cultures. The deep, saturated burgundy is elegant yet still suitable for everyday wear: it pairs well with jeans, black or charcoal trousers and cream-coloured accessories. Through the stone wash the burgundy gently and naturally matures over time.
The character of stone washing
During the stone wash the sewn fabric is tumbled with volcanic stone fragments — twice in a row. This softens the cotton and gives each t-shirt its own gently worn surface. No two pieces are identical. From the very first wear it feels as if it has been part of your wardrobe for a long time — which suits a symbolic motif like this particularly well.
Measurements and fit
Length: 65 cm. Half-chest width (laid flat, measured under the armpit): 47 cm. Chest circumference approx. 100–108 cm. Size L suits a taller or sturdier build, or anyone who prefers a relaxed, looser cut. Unisex — for both women and men. Minor shrinkage of 1–2 cm may occur after the first wash.
Care
Wash at 30 °C with similar dark colours on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach and avoid harsh detergents. Avoid the tumble dryer — air-dry inside out. Iron only on the reverse side at medium heat. The burgundy base may lighten gently over time — part of the vintage character, not a fault.
