Specifications

• Item Number: #2104795

• Material: 100% Pear Skin Cotton (Hollow spun-yarn)

• Fabric Weight: Medium-lightweight

• Features: Preshrunk treatment, ribbed cuffs, classic crewneck design.

Key Technical Features

• Pear Skin Comfort Texture: The unique twist of the yarn creates microscopic textures on the fabric surface. This reduces the contact area against your skin, preventing the shirt from feeling sticky or clingy when you sweat.

• Hollow Spinning-Yarn Technology: Built with specialized cotton threads that capture air inside. This structural design makes the fabric noticeably lighter, softer, and more breathable than standard heavy cotton tees.

• Preshrunk Treatment: The fabric undergoes a rigorous pre-washing process during manufacturing, ensuring the shirt maintains its original shape, tailored fit, and length even after multiple rounds through the laundry.

• Ribbed Cuffs: Features durable, stretchy ribbed cuffs that allow you to easily push up your sleeves when washing hands or setting up camp, keeping them securely in place.

• Relaxed Silhouette: Tailored specifically for a women's silhouette with an unrestrictive, comfortable fit that layers beautifully over a base layer or underneath an outdoor vest.

Care Instructions

• Washing: Machine wash cold with similar colors on a regular cycle.

• Drying: Line dry in the shade. While it is preshrunk, avoiding high-heat tumble dryers will extend the vibrancy of the prints and the softness of the textured yarn.

• Detergent: Use standard mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they coat the natural hollow fibers and reduce the shirt's crisp texture.

• Ironing: Iron on a low setting if needed, but always iron inside-out to protect any printed graphics on the front.

Professional Tips from X-Boundaries

1. The "Tropical Cotton" Exception: Normally, we advise against wearing 100% cotton in hot, humid climates like Singapore because it traps moisture. However, the pear skin texture keeps the fabric off your skin, allowing airflow that makes this one of the few cotton shirts incredibly comfortable for local daily wear.

2. The Ultimate Transit Layer: Thanks to the air captured inside the hollow yarns, this shirt provides an excellent microclimate against your body. It’s perfect for keeping you cozy on cold air-conditioned MRT rides or long-haul flights without causing you to overheat when stepping back outside.

3. An Array of Graphics: The Pear Skin Cotton series is celebrated for its beautiful nature-inspired prints, often featuring mountains, wildlife, or minimalist outdoor typography. Pick a graphic that speaks to your next destination!

4. Flattering Fit: The drape of this fabric is naturally structured due to the textured yarn. It hides creases exceptionally well, making it a low-maintenance, wrinkle-resistant choice to pack in your travel duffel.
