Shiva-Kali Pattachitra-Inspired Full Sleeves TShirt | French Terry Cotton 240 GSM | Unisex

In Bengal, a picture on cloth has always been a way to tell a story. The word Pattachitra says it plainly: patta is cloth, chitra is picture. For generations, Bengal's patua artists unrolled painted cloth in village courtyards and sang its stories aloud. Shiva and Kali were among the subjects they painted again and again. Kali Puja is the night those stories come alive across Bengal. The neighbourhood pandals fill, the dhak carries through the lanes, and the adda runs until dawn. Few nights call for art as much as this one. This Pattachitra-inspired artwork carries that old tradition forward, so a story that once travelled on painted cloth now travels with you. Wear it on Kali Puja night, and long after. Built for the Bengali winter. This is 240 GSM French terry cotton, the weight of a sweatshirt in the shape of a T-shirt. It is smooth outside and soft and looped inside, with a ribbed collar and cuffs that hold their shape. The double stitching at the shoulder, hem and cuffs is made to last many winters. What does 240 GSM mean? GSM is how heavy the cloth is. Our regular T-shirts are 180 GSM. This one is 240, 1.33x the weight, so it feels thick and soft, holds its shape, and keeps you warm through the winter. Why it stands apart. Folk-art heritage with a story behind it, heavier cloth than our regular tees, stronger stitching, and a fabric that feels as good in January as it did on the first day.
