Description
In Puri, you go to the Rath Yatra. In Bengal, the Rath Yatra comes to you.
Bengal has loved Jagannath for over six centuries. The story goes that in the 14th century a sage from Bengal, Drubananda Brahmachari, dreamed that Jagannath asked him to return to Mahesh, on the banks of the Hooghly, and carve the idols from a neem log. Those first idols are dated to about 1396 and still stay in Mahesh today.
Ever since, the Mahesh Rath Yatra has been a Bengali festival of lanes, laughter and fairs. Bankimchandra set his story Radharani against the Mahesh mela in 1875. Today the same fair still brings jilipi frying in the open, kirtan groups, clay toys, wooden tops and conch shells, and children pull their own little chariots through the lanes of Kolkata.
This T-shirt carries that tradition forward: a contemporary artist's imagination of that wide-eyed, smiling face, drawn in gold on deep black and made to be worn.
For anyone who grew up with a paper chariot, a jilipi in hand and a lane full of drums. Wear it on Rath Yatra. Wear it all winter.
Built for the Bengali winter.
This is 240 GSM French terry cotton, the weight of a sweatshirt in the shape of a T-shirt. It's smooth outside and soft and looped inside, with a ribbed collar and cuffs that hold their shape. The double stitching at the shoulder, hem and cuffs is made to last many winters.
What does 240 GSM mean?
GSM is how heavy the cloth is. Our regular T-shirts are 180 GSM. This one is 240, 1.33x the weight, so it feels thick and soft, holds its shape, and keeps you warm through the winter.
Why it stands apart.
Heavier cloth than our regular tees, stronger stitching, and a fabric that feels as good in January as it did on the first day.
