Mantis

Mantis men's and women's Tees have a fresh new look, with no less than six being introduced to the collection for 2009. 

The humble T-shirt has had a fashion makeover using sheer fabrics and new colours in the shape of the M107 Men's Fine Jersey Tee and M108 Women's Sheer Jersey Tee. The M108 women's tee is made from a fine 120gsm jersey, whilst the men's M107 comes in 150gsm. Both styles are finished to high standards with detail such chain stitch across the shoulders for a subtle design flourish. Both available in a sophisticated colour palette that doesn't forget the firm favourites, such as Navy, Black, Red as well as fun shades of Blue Lagoon, Limoncello, Rose Mist and even a trendy twist with the Deep Charcoal tees using a Light Charcoal chain stitch to accent the shoulders. 

Designers looking for an alternative V-neck tee can find them with the M105 Men's Deep V-neck Tee and M106 Women's Scooped V-neck Tee. Using the same high quality Jersey fabrics, these styles introduce a wide, deep rib v-neckline and long slim-fitting body lengths to the collection.

The women's style sees a more feminine scooped neckline and cute capped sleeves, both finished in rib. Both styles are available in classic Black and White as well as other shades such as Deep Chocolate.

For something a little different Mantis has also added trendy new striped jersey tees to the collection in the M109S Men's Striped Tee and M110S Women's Striped Tee.  With wide striped patterns in a variety of fun and funky colours that range from Black/Red, Black/White to Classic Navy/White and Deep Charcoal/Heather Grey, these styles come in sizes from S to XL and even extend to smaller sizes for kids in the Humbugz range.
