BASE TEE IN COTTON/ALPACA/WOOL JERSEY

The Base Tee is a bound-neck, bound-sleeved tee, styled after a vintage Canadian Military undershirt. It is cut with balanced ease through the chest, shoulders, and sleeves, with added length to provide the option for a secure tuck. It is well-suited to layering but loose enough to be worn alone.

The textile is an alpaca "Cocoon Knit". It is a light, lofty jersey that integrates wool and alpaca, custom washed for a cocoon-like softness and warmth. Subtle flecks sit across the surface, reflecting the undyed, unprocessed quality of the yarn. Finished with a custom 1×1 rib. This jersey and custom developed rib combine alpaca from upstate New York with wool and cotton from California — all sourced from ecologically managed farm landscapes. It was knit by a sixth-generation mill carrying more than 160 years of practice in natural-fiber knitting.

Cotton/wool/alpaca blend.
Hand or machine wash (short cycle) alone, or in a mesh bag if washing with other items. Lay flat to dry.
Made in Canada.

Dana grew up in Northern BC and Vancouver before moving to New York to design menswear. There, she eventually founded her eponymous label before taking a five-year hiatus from the garment industry.

Dana Lee Brown is a textile-focused clothing line, built on a range of custom field-to-loom fabrics developed with North American farms and supply chains. The design starts with natural fibres grown as close to home as possible—followed by yarn spinning, weaving, knitting, and other steps that extend from the Cascadian Coastline to the Maritimes. While textiles are typically reliant on complex global supply chains, the creative challenge of exploring what can be made with resources close at hand continues to shape the work. The intention is not only to invest in restorative local fibre systems, but to create textiles that are both unique and compelling—reflective of the landscapes they come from.
