(PRE-SALE) Ep. 83: MILA organic oversized raglan boyfriend tee

Mother earth, and the ones who come after her. MILA is our oversized raglan boyfriend tee in white, cut wide and boxy with deep plum sleeves and a raw, unfinished hem. Sport shape, nothing sporty about it. The roomiest thing you own, carrying a piece of original artwork. The illustration is called Earth Daughter, painted in sepia watercolour by Ayumi, one of our two founders. Three women whose bodies become a mountain range, hair becoming the river that runs out of it. Mother earth, and the next generation standing either side of her. Mila is a name that means dear one. We made it for the women who are somebody’s daughter and somebody else’s whole world at the same time. Cut on the 306 raglan block, from 160gsm GOTS-certified organic combed cotton jersey — the mid-light weight that carries from summer into layering season. The artwork sits across the chest. Nothing across the back.

Twenty-five of MILA exist, across seven sizes — three or four of each. When they’re gone, we don’t reprint. The next episode is already in the works, and the point of an episode is that it ends. It’s not a tactic. Overproduction is the single biggest problem in this industry, and the only honest way a small label avoids contributing to it is to make less than it thinks it can sell. It matters more than usual here. Earth Daughter was painted once, by hand, for this episode. It doesn’t go on anything else. PRODUCT DETAILS — 100% GOTS-certified organic combed cotton — Lightweight 160gsm — Original Earth Daughter artwork, sepia watercolour, printed to the chest — Raglan sleeve, short — 2.1cm rib neck and sleeve ends in deep plum — Deep plum contrast raglan sleeves — Raw unfinished hem — Shoulder-to-shoulder tape — Pre-shrunk — Tear-away main label — Cotton size tag at the right side of the neck — Cotton care label at the inseam — GOTS organic paper tag — Sizes XS–3XL FIT AND SIZING MILA is designed to be worn oversized. Take your usual size for that wide, easy line. If you’d prefer it neater, size down one. Two things worth knowing, because this block is different to our others. The AU sizing runs one down from our jersey tees. On MILA, XS is an AU 6–8 and S is an AU 8–10. If you’ve bought ROJA, FLO or MIRA from us, you’ll likely be one size up from your usual OD size here — check the chart rather than your last order. It’s wide but short. At the same AU size, MILA is about as wide across the chest as our jersey tees but roughly 7cm shorter in the body. It sits at the hip rather than below it. If you want more length, size up — each size adds 1.5cm. The hem is cut raw and left unfinished, so it sits a little looser and moves more than a stitched hem. On our models: Monique is 170cm, usually a size 8, and wears a size S. Jason is 185cm, usually an XL, and wears an XL. SIZE GUIDE (CM) — measured flat Size | Rec. AU | Chest | Length | Sleeve XS | 6–8 | 58.5 | 60.5 | 38 S | 8–10 | 61 | 62 | 39 M | 10–12 | 63.5 | 63.5 | 40 L | 12–14 | 66 | 65 | 41 XL | 14–16 | 68.5 | 66.5 | 42 2XL | 16–18 | 71 | 68 | 43 3XL | 18–20 | 73.5 | 69.5 | 44 Chest is armpit to armpit, straight across. Length is from the top of the shoulder at the neck, straight down to the hem. Sleeve is from the neckline seam to the sleeve hem — this is a raglan, so the sleeve measurement starts at the neck, not the shoulder. All point to point on the flat garment. FABRIC & FEEL 160gsm GOTS-certified organic combed cotton jersey — the mid-light weight that does everything. Combed cotton is spun from longer, smoother fibres, so it’s softer against the skin and wears longer than standard cotton. Light enough for a Byron summer, easy enough to layer when it turns. The 2.1cm rib at the neck and sleeve ends is what stops an oversized tee going shapeless at the edges. The hem is deliberately left raw — a clean cut edge that softens with every wash rather than holding a hard stitched line.

The AU sizes in the guide are a women’s-sizing reference only — if you usually wear men’s sizing, go by the chest measurement. I’m already an OD size — do I order the same? Probably not. This block runs one AU size down from our jersey tees. Our usual XS is an AU 8–10; MILA’s XS is an AU 6–8. Most of our customers will be one size up from their usual OD size. Check the chest measurement against a tee you already own. Is it cropped? No, but it’s shorter than our jersey tees — about 7cm shorter at the same AU size. It finishes at the hip. Size up if you want more length. Will it shrink? It’s pre-shrunk, so no meaningful shrinkage if you follow the care instructions. The measurements already include a small allowance for it. Is the raw hem a fault? No — it’s cut and left unfinished on purpose. It will curl and soften slightly with wear and washing. It won’t unravel. How will the artwork wear? The print is applied to sit with the fabric rather than on top of it, so it softens as the tee does. Wash inside-out, keep the iron off it, and it’ll outlast most things in your drawer. Can I get it in another colour? Not this one. Earth Daughter was painted for this episode, in this colourway, and there are twenty-five. What if it doesn’t fit? Free exchange within Australia, 30 days. Just email us. FOR THE NEXT GENERATION We named this label Oldest Daughter because the women who carry the most deserve clothes built to carry them back. Earth Daughter is Ayumi painting that idea out loud — mother earth holding the generation that comes next, and being held by them. 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. 🤎 from the OD team
