Whilst we endeavour to strike a balance between raising vital funding for the aerial & ground conservation projects in Tsavo and keeping our products as competitively priced as possible the cost price from our international distributor also plays a large role in the retail price. Unfortunately items sized 2XL or larger cost a few dollars more per item and as such is reflected in the slightly increased retail price compared to smaller sizes.

When unpacking a new shirt or hoodie with a direct-to-garment (DTG) print, you might notice a vinegar-like smell or an off-white residue. Don't worry, that's not unusual - it's from a fixation agent applied during the printing process and it's not permanent.
Fixation agent (sometimes known as pre-treatment) is used for all DTG prints across the industry. It helps the ink bond with the fabric, and without it, the ink would flake off the garment.
The solution is simply to wash the garment. Neither the residue nor the smell is permanent and both should go away after one wash.
