The Kids’ Strip-Stripe T-Shirt forms part of Good Good Good’s greater Strip-Stripe Capsule, the brand’s newest solution that they have developed to work with the offcuts produced from the regular T-shirt production runs at their 28-year-old heritage manufacturing facility in Woodstock, Cape Town. This patchwork kids’ tee is made from 100% Southern African-sourced cotton single jersey strips, cut from offcuts and deadstock fabric from their factory floor.

The manufacturing process behind this T-shirt is arduous. With meticulous attention to detail, offcuts are selected by hand and cut down to strips. Strips need to be sewn together two at a time, then ironed straight, before adding any more. Eventually, the sheet of Strip-Stripe fabric is large enough to cut the panels of the T-shirt from. The Kids’ Strip-Stripe T-Shirts are often cut from the Strip-Stripe fabric left over from the production of the adults’ version of the tee.

Each Kids’ Strip-Stripe T-Shirt is completely unique. While the strips are set to fray, adding character as the tee is worn more, the T-shirt is constructed to last and maintain its shape.
