When is an original not an original?
When after 5 years of business you do a rebrand, put your new sexy logo on some super soft organic short sleeve t-shirts and hope everyone thinks you always looked like this.
So welcome to 'The Original'. It's not really an original, but it is a rather good organic short sleeve t-shirt.
A mid-weight black tee for men, made from 100% ethically sourced certified organic cotton. Then screen printed by hand by our friends Steve & Craig at their studio in Bath.
The fit here is just off the shoulder and pretty regular - think classic t-shirt and you're there. If you're looking for a more slim fit, take the size down and it'll be spot on, the length will still be fine.
Fit
Regular fit - A classic fitting tee that's a touch oversized and sits just off the shoulders.
If you're in-between sizes, reviews from past customers lean towards taking the size down for the best fit, the length will still be all good.
Our Co-founder Sam has a 39" chest, is 6ft and a (very!) average build. He wears a medium day to day for a relaxed look.
Please note for our men's t-shirts we use the U.S sizes printed on our labels, rather than the E.U. ones also shown.

1. Only wash if it needs it - Cheeky sniff test!
2. Wash inside out on a 30c wash to keep our planet cool.
3. Where possible, air dry. If you do need to tumble dry then all our organic cotton is preshrunk for peace of mind.
4. Flatten out and give it a little re-shape after each wash.
5. Wear it lots and lots.
6. Take care of it and it'll take care of you.
This style is PETA-approved Vegan, ensuring no animals were used or tested on for ingredients, formulations, or the finished product.
This style is made from 100% organic cotton. This promotes farming practices that conserve soil, diversify crops, increase bio-diversity and avoids all synthetic pesticides and fertilisers.
Our ethical suppliers are Fair Wear Foundation members with a rating of 'Leader'. This ensures the development of garment worker rights and conditions alongside regular third party auditing.
For the past 3 years, every purchase made with Goose Studios protects 5 mature rainforest trees thanks to our partnership with One Tribe and Rainforest Trust.
Non-renewable energy powers the transport for this style from Asia to the UK. Unsurprisingly both air and sea freight are fairly terrible for emissions. Any advice on how to reduce our impact from transport would be amazing! Email us at info@goosestudios.co.uk
The washing instructions label is recycled polyester. Which is better than normal polyester, but still polyester. Classic good cop/bad cop scenario... Only there's another organic cotton cop in the mix being like, 'you should just use organic cotton'. That cop has a point.
The factories making this style pay at least the minimum wage and offer considerable employee benefits - but don't yet all pay the living wage. The Fair Wear Foundation are working with our suppliers to constantly improve this situation.
The impact from clothing on the world comes from when each one us buys something new.
When you buy from Goose Studios make sure it's because you need a new t-shirt, sweatshirt or hoodie.
If that old one you really loved is beyond repair, then we'd love you to buy one of our super-soft organic cotton styles.
We know ours will last you for years to come. It's why we sweat the details.
So when you shop, anywhere, keep 4 words in mind.
Buy less, buy better.
It'll start a little revolution with every purchase you make.
