Editor's note

T-shirts, explained
How heavy is the cotton?
From 180 to 240 g/m². HILP's appliqué t-shirts are 210 g/m² jersey with 5% elastane, the Moomin t-shirts are 240 g/m², and HILP's printed unisex t-shirt is 180 g/m² organic cotton.
Are the Moomin t-shirts officially licensed?
Yes. Nordicbuddies makes them under an official Moomin licence. Nordicbuddies states OEKO-TEX certification and SMETA and BSCI audits of its production.
How do the t-shirts fit?
HILP t-shirts are cut separately for women and men in a regular fit. The Moomin t-shirts are unisex, and the oversized styles are wider through the chest and longer in the body, so take your usual size for a loose fit.
How should cotton t-shirts be washed?
Wash inside out and follow the care label on each t-shirt. Never iron directly on the motif.
