I recently purchased 2 round neck long sleeved t shirts and am very pleased with them. The cotton fabric is good, has washed well, the neck line is comfortable and sleeve length is perfect.

I have just ordered 4 new t shirts and am pleased with them as my first order many years ago. Thank you for keeping the quality and ethos going. As to sustainable purchasing I still have a couple of my original t shirts that I wear under jumpers – can’t be more sustainable than that!
