About This Design

East India Company T-Shirt

East India Company T-Shirt

The East India Company or more properly the Honourable East India Company was granted a Royal charter by Queen Elizabeth (the first) in 1600 and it wasn’t much later that things started to go wrong. The EIC was owned by wealthy merchants and aristocrats and, to a lesser degree, the British government who had very little control over their affairs. The EIC traded in everything that could be traded including, cotton, silk, salt, opium and tea making themselves and the Empire very rich along the way. It was the EIC who stole the first tea plants from China and introduced it to India in one of the greatest acts of corporate theft in history. The EIC ruled great chunks of India up until 1858, with their own company administrations and private armies. Thankfully there is no modern day equivalent (unless you count Amazon, Apple and perhaps Google.) HUZZAH!

I give wanted to give this a 4 instead of a 5 because these Basic DARK T0shirts run unexpectedly SLIM or Narrow. Which is great if you do not have a potbelly, but I have a paunch. It isn't the shirt's fault that I've got a beer belly. The design and shirt itself is a quality cotton shirt. The color is more of a deep purple, but still a very pretty color. The Basic DARK T-shirts run a bit SLIMMER than the Basic Ts. The neck is a fraction narrower (or seems to be narrower) also. I'm a paunchy middle-aged woman and my neck is 12 inches (31cm) thick and the neckline fell about the same as in the photo of the man, and I had the desire to tug it a bit. So if you're a thick necked man or like loose shirts, be aware these are slimmer shirts. Once I get rid of my lockdown paunch it'll look great. The shirt washed well in cold water with no apparent bleeding. We don't have a dryer, so it hung dry. Did not shrink. Love the colors and the design. The design looks smaller on my shirt than it does on the model on-line. But still, it looks good on the shirt. The printing looks as it does on the model, just the size seems fractionally smaller. Washed garment in cold water, hung dry and design appeared unaffected.

I'm wearing this as I type... It's fab! Lovely quality. Soft material, perfect fit, nice and warm (It is very cold here, I live at the top of a hill and the wind is brutal in winter). Couldn't be happier with this. My Girlfriend really likes it as well - always a bonus! I was really impressed by how the printing turned out - my photo's don't do it justice. This is a complex design with a lot of colour variations but the finished article is really impressive. I couldn't be happier with how this has turned out. This is also one of my first designs to have been purchased by someone else (thank you so much!) I'm really curious to know what they think of the finished product...
