Painted, not printed-over
Every animal is an original watercolour study. Soft washes, true colour, nothing generic.
A plate on the back
Common name, Latin binomial and field notes, laid out like a page from a natural-history folio.
Soft, not stiff
Light ring-spun cotton in a classic unisex cut, a large back print with a quiet mark at the chest.
Eight specimens.
One plate for each creature, printed large across the back. Each one comes as a tee below and as a sweatshirt further down.

Every plate is printed again on an 8oz cotton-poly crewneck, for water that has gone cold.
Built to carry the plate.
The illustration does the talking, so the blank is kept quiet. The same plate goes onto a soft ring-spun tee and onto a heavier cotton-poly crewneck, printed so the colour settles into the cloth rather than sitting on top of it.

The littoral is the restless band between the tides, where the sea keeps its strangest company.
Littoral Croft began as a field journal: a way to sit with the creatures most people never meet, and set them down the way a naturalist would, unhurried, in watercolour, with their names in Latin.
Each release is a small collection of plates. Some of these animals are threatened; a part of every drop goes back toward the waters they came from.
