Omato Tees
About the Omato Tees
The Omato group has grown throughout the years to now include a long sleeve tee, tee shirt, turtleneck, long sleeve polo, short sleeve polo, and a tank top. The building blocks of the style have remained the same: the exposed seams, lettuce edge hems, and elastic material are the same across the Omato styles. The exposed seams come both in tone on tone and with contrast stitch colors. Omato long sleeve and tee shirt have the characteristic boat neck, whereas the polos introduce a new neckline. The Omato Tee Shirt has 3/4 length sleeves. We have also introduced the Omato in a fine wool rib fabric for colder weather layering. As a part of our core collection, you can always find the Omato tees in black and off-white. Through seasonal releases, we introduce new variations of the Omato in new seasonal colors. Fine organic cotton rib jersey has been a part of our collections since the beginning in the Omato tees. This fabric comes with a bit of elastane, making the fabric more form-fitting and flexible.
Using organic cotton is important for us as it supports good soil health and ecosystems. Organic farms also generally support more plant and animal species, supporting the biodiversity of farms. It relies on natural cycles and local conditions. We want to ensure that no harmful chemicals are used in the production process, water consumption is controlled, water is not contaminated, and workers' rights are also preserved. Organic cotton is great for everyday wear and layering because of its durability, breathability, and softness. The material is also hypoallergenic.
We recommend washing at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle, as heat and friction wear the fabric down. The gentle cycle also helps reduce creases. Lightly pull/stretch the garment to straighten it before hanging it to dry. Remove stains when you get them, as cotton absorbs stains more than synthetic fabrics. Natural detergent (especially with neutral PH) can retain the color and elastane for longer. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers, lessening the natural absorbency and breathability of the material, wearing them down or damaging the surface by creating pilling.
