Orange Blossom Tee

The orange blossom is Florida’s state flower, and the groves that carried it are part of Orlando’s history. We drew a branch of blossom, buds and fruit like a nineteenth-century botanical plate, then printed it the way it was made: one screen for the engraving, one for the color. The style follows the botanical illustration plates printed long before cameras.

How the orange blossom tee is printed

Two screens, two inks, both pulled by hand. The orange blossom engraving is the first screen; the color is the second, laid down a hair off the lines so the overlap makes a third, deeper tone. On ivory the inks are forest green and orange. On black and russet, the engraving switches to a warm cream ink so it reads on the darker cotton.

The crop marks, registration targets and swatch strip are part of the design: they are the marks every printer uses to line up the screens, so the shirt shows how it was made. See how we print.

Fit and fabric

A 6.5 oz ring-spun cotton heavyweight with a relaxed, boxy fit and a dropped shoulder. Take your usual size for a relaxed fit, or size down for a closer one.

Care: Wash inside out in cold water. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron over the print.
