Seeing Things - Sea Turtle SS Pocket Tee

Every fisherman knows we must conserve the life in the sea so that our children and childrens' children can continue to enjoy its fruits. This Peter Agardy composition may be the most overtly conservation-minded of his designs we've yet adapted onto our Shore Thing line. You'll make a statement when you wear this shirt.

The subject matter is three beaked turtles, one of which pauses weightless in the water staring directly at the viewer. Two others descend, gliding, movement indicated by the bubbles trailing from their fins which are extended like wings. They appear to be on the way to feed, as indicated by the jellyfish floating nearby. The light shining from above shades everything including the turtles blue, evoking the "blue planet" expression sometimes used to underline the importance of the health of our ocean, which makes up four fifths of the surface of our world. Having had experience working with Keepers of the Coast, an organization dedicated to maintaining the habitat of nesting sea turtles who return to Florida every year, this marvelous new design from Peter Agardy is especially close to our hearts here at Shore Thing.

We use a challenging eleven color screen printing process to faithfully reproduce Agardy's art. The shirts themselves are the best quality available. They're made of preshrunk 100% ring-spun cotton, in a high stitch density fabric. They have shoulder-to-shoulder taping, a double-needle cover-seamed neck, and double-needle sleeves and bottom hems. The short sleeve shirts have a five-point left chest pocket..

The subject matter and the quality of the production make "Seeing Things" a shirt worth seeing... and wearing!
