Spiraling Is a Design Choice. — Channeled Whelk Tee

Your latest spiral has been approved by the art department.

A channeled whelk, a deadpan caption, and a very convenient explanation for whatever direction your day is taking. This Knotty Originals tee sets a bone-toned shell against True Navy, with “SPIRALING” above and “IS A DESIGN CHOICE.” below. Wear it into the room where you said you had everything under control.

About that shell

Meet the channeled whelk (Busycotypus canaliculatus), a predatory marine snail found in Massachusetts waters, especially south and west of Cape Cod. As a snail grows, its mantle adds new shell material around the opening. That spiral is built a little at a time. A fairly solid explanation for taking the long way around.

The tee

Heavyweight cotton, a relaxed fit, and a garment-dyed finish give this everyday tee some substance. For salt-air walks, coffee runs, and people with strong opinions about a shell they found in the sand.
