Customer Reviews
4.8 5 verified reviewsHusband loved it.
Got this for my husband who's really into horses and he absolutely loved the design. He says it's super soft and not scratchy at all, even after a wash.
Good quality, but size up for US!
Wasn't sure about ordering online, but the organic cotton feels really nice and the print is kinda subtle in person, which I like. Just a heads up, the sizing is a bit smaller than typical US brands, so definitely order up one size.
My new favorite tee.
This tee is seriously comfortable and the distressed graphic looks even better in real life. It’s perfect for just throwing on, feels good knowing it's organic too.
Third one I've bought!
Seriously, this is my third tee from Design Delight Studio with this graphic because I literally wear them all the time. The fabric holds up so well to barn work and it's soft enough for lounging afterwards. Plus, being GOTS certified is a huge bonus for me, makes me feel good about my purchases. They are pretty solid.
