Take your usual size for the intended fit, or size down one if you want it closer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing what \"cropped\" means here: it is shortened, not a crop top. In a size S the body measures 58.5cm from the high point of the shoulder to the hem — roughly two centimetres shorter than our standard boxy tee. Worn with a high waistband it sits just above it. Worn with something lower, it finishes at the top of the hip. It is not cut to show the midriff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeves are the piece. They're cut deliberately wide and deliberately long — meant to hang clear of the arm and fall over the back of the hand. Push them up and they'll stay, but they're drawn to be worn down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit reference: a size S measures 61.5cm across the chest and 58.5cm in length, flat.

Combed cotton is spun from longer, smoother fibres, so it sits softer against the skin and wears longer than standard cotton. Certified organic all the way back to the soil it grew in, which on this episode is rather the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weight matters more here than on a standard tee. A lighter cloth would let these sleeves collapse against the arm and the whole shape would disappear. At 180gsm the fabric has enough body to hold the sleeve open and the hem straight, while still falling rather than standing away from you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoc plum: a deep chocolate brown with a plum cast running through it, dyed to a quiet matte finish with a faint natural slub.

Shortened, not a crop top. A size S is 58.5cm shoulder to hem, about two centimetres shorter than our standard boxy tee. It finishes at the top of the hip and isn't cut to show the midriff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow does SOL fit? Relaxed and oversized through the body — take your usual size, or size down one for a neater line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre the sleeves really that wide? Yes. They're cut nearly as wide at the cuff as at the elbow, and long enough to cover the back of your hand. That's the design, not a sizing error.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is the graphic? A circle with one line through it. Above and below — sun and soil. A diagram rather than a drawing, printed tonal so it sits quietly in the cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat colour is choc plum? A deep chocolate brown with a plum cast through it. Browner in daylight, plummier under a lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat does SOL mean? Soil, in French. It's also the word for sun in several languages around it. Two things a cotton plant needs, one word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs it really organic? Yes — 100% GOTS-certified organic combed cotton, with a GOTS organic paper tag at the inseam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs there a print on the back? No. A fine tonal graphic on the front, plain back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIs it unisex? SOL is cut for a women's fit, XS to XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill it shrink? The measurements already include a little extra length and width for natural settling. Cold wash and line dry and it'll hold its fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere is it made? Designed and printed in the Byron Bay hinterland. The cotton is woven, dyed and assembled offshore under GOTS certification. We say it plainly because we'd rather be accurate than flattering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWill you make more? No. Episodes don't get reprinted. When this run is gone, it's gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOR THE NEXT GENERATION +\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe named this label Oldest Daughter because the women who carry the most deserve clothes built to carry them back. Every piece starts with one question: will this still be in your wardrobe in five years? Certified-organic fibres, considered construction, small runs, nothing wasted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one goes a step under that. You can't certify a shirt without certifying the soil it started in — no synthetic fertiliser, no prohibited pesticides, ground that's tested rather than assumed. It's slow, it costs more, and it's invisible in the finished garment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich is the whole reason to name an episode after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🤎 from the OD team\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv role=\"group\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cpre\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Oldest Daughter | Sustainable Fashion Label","offers":[{"title":"XS","offer_id":50693133500502,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":50693133533270,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":50693133566038,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":50693133598806,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":50693133631574,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0617\/7682\/2358\/files\/OD_SOL_model_insitu_1x1_151026_05.jpg?v=1792040556","url":"https:\/\/oldestdaughterlabel.com\/products\/ep-78-sol-organic-cropped-womens-long-sleeve","provider":"Oldest Daughter | Sustainable Fashion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
