Product Insights
The Tomato Fever T‑Shirt by Jimmy Lion is a 100% organic cotton jersey (200 g/m²) tee with a boxy silhouette and a full front‑and‑back tomato print, curated by Simons’ Le 31 collection. It offers a structured drape that displays the print without clinging, and its current sale price of $39.95 CAD undercuts comparable non‑organic tees like the ASOS Ringer by $2. The main tradeoff is that while the brand typically uses GOTS‑certified organic cotton, this specific shirt does not carry that certification, and care requires washing inside‑out in cold water with mild detergent and air drying to preserve the print.
