Men's t-shirt
The t-shirt features Gavino, a long-eared bat watchmaker from my Animal Kinhood series — where the animals dress and live like people — with his face straight on, the bow tie and the herringbone vest printed across the chest. It's an everyday t-shirt, simple, with a portrait people look at twice.

A stopped watch isn't dead. Most of the time it's just lost its pulse for a moment.
Endemic exclusively to Sardinia; Mediterranean forests of holm oak and cork oak on limestone terrain, with refuges in inland caves (Supramonte, Gennargentu).
When a neighbor brings him a watch that stops and starts, Gavino doesn't open it: he holds it up to his ear, tilts his head, closes his eyes for half a second. The escape wheel, he says, and he still hasn't touched a screw. *A watch isn't looked at, it's listened to*, he lets fall like a good-morning. He's almost always right.
It's one of those garments that ask for no occasion: a t-shirt for working, going out or staying home. It's made when you order it, so nothing piles up in a warehouse. The sizes, in the product's size guide.
