Review of Soul Flower Screenprinted Tee

The word is definitely out now…I am a little bit in love with Soulflower! When Peggy shared a link on Facebook about their new Soulflower Screenprinted Tee, I knew exactly what I would like to review next. I think I’ve mentioned before that, to me, even just the word ‘soulflower’ gives off such a positive vibe. In my mind’s eye, I see this gigantic cosmic bloom. So, when I had the chance to really let my Soulflower love~light shine…I went for it! And, you know, if you are really passionate about a design, or company, there is no better way to spread the word about them than to just turn yourself into a walking~talking billboard. This tee has definitely opened up more dialogue with others. And, I’ve given away more catalogs while wearing it than ever before! It’s totally win-win!

One of the things I dig most about the tee is something that happened before it ever arrived. There is such a creative process in its construction. It seems so old school to actually carve out a linoleum block as a template, and then to roll the ink onto it. Everything they used came from an art supply store.

When the tee arrived, I noticed an apparent goof on my part. I thought this was a woman’s size tee when I requested it, but it isn’t. I got online immediately to see if there had been a mistake in shipping, and saw straight away that I had failed to see Junior on the sizes! I have a pretty small frame, but this Large is very snug on me. I definitely should have asked for the XLarge. The good news is…I’ve washed it three times (just to be sure) and it did not shrink at all. It isn’t as lightweight as the Treehugger tee, but it not a thick tee either. It’s still in the 90’s down here in Georgia, and the tee has been perfectly fine to wear out. It hits me about midway on my jeans zipper, and it stays there. No problems with riding up, unless you are jumping on a trampoline, which I occasionally do. There is plenty of room, even with its snugginess, for my neck & arms. The color on the website is pretty right on. It isn’t lighter or darker, you get what you see. All in all, it’s another sweet tee from Soulflower. I recommend it. 🙂

I’m heading out on a Route 66 trip across America soon, and my Soulflower threads will be the first thing I throw in the bag to take with me. Based on this tee alone, you’ll definitely know it’s me if I come to a town near you! Don’t be afraid to walk up and give me a high-five!! Peace, buds!
