Yara.

Some garments come with geography and this is one of them. Yara mixes in a room with the blind down at 19 °C while outside the city is at 32 °C and dropping toward the early hours. Walking out into the heat in a light garment that's held up hours of air conditioning is part of her day. Yago Partal chose organic cotton for the Animal Kinhood t-shirts precisely for this reason: a fiber that handles the mixing room and the Amazonian street without asking permission.

The white ribbed-knit sweater Yara wears in the portrait is her uniform. She buys them three at a time, all the same, with a faint coffee stain on the right cuff that she doesn't remove. The t-shirt we're talking about here isn't that sweater — it's plain knit rather than ribbed — but it shares color and function: a white or light-colored garment, easy to combine, made to wear for hours without thinking about it. The 180 g/m² cotton breathes in Manaus humidity in April, which is the humidity of many places, and doesn't turn into a rag at the fifth wash.

The pattern is women's cut: slightly narrower shoulders, fitted armhole, waist with a gentle curve that fits without squeezing, length reaching the top of the hip. Seven sizes available, from XS to XXL. For those coming from other brands: if you usually wear a loose M, here the M will sit fitted at the waist; if you prefer that room, go up a size. Exact chest and total length measurements are in the **Size guide**, which is worth checking before buying your first Animal Kinhood t-shirt.

The 180 g/m² is a medium weight. It works with jeans, with a skirt, with an open jacket, with another t-shirt on top in mid-season. The portrait print comes out sharp on the fabric because organic cotton takes ink without giving it a plastic sheen. The portrait looks, it doesn't shine.
