Koi stitched front and back at full density — thread you can feel under your thumb, on a tee soft enough to wear three days a week.
Highlights
✓Koi embroidered on both panels at high stitch density — thread, not ink, so nothing cracks or lifts at the edges after a wash.
✓100% supersoft ringspun cotton, which is why it feels broken in on day one rather than month three.
✓Black or White across S to XXXL — the same koi reads bold on the dark shirt and detailed on the light one.
✓Regular USA fit that runs true to size, with Niepce's own advice to size up if you fall between sizes.
✓Cool wash and low-heat drying keep the cotton from shrinking around the stitched panels.
The koi is the oldest motif in Japanese decorative art for a reason — a fish that swims upstream is an easy thing to want on your chest. Here it is embroidered rather than screened, so it sits slightly above the fabric surface and picks up light as you move.
Underneath the artwork it is a plain, well-made cotton tee that layers under a jacket without adding bulk. Browse men's shirts and women's tops for the rest, or take the quieter version of the motif on the Gold Coin Koi tee.
Black or White, sizes S through XXXL. 100% ringspun cotton, embroidered front and back. Regular USA sizing — size up if you are between sizes.
