Jean Cocteau (Le testament d’Orphee) t shirt by Toshi

£ 29.00

The last part of Jean Cocteau's orphic trilogy: Blood of a Poet (1930); Orphée (1950) Le testament d'Orphée 1960. The film starred Cocteau and featured Charles Aznavour, Françoise Sagan Yul Brynner and Pablo Picasso among others. Cocteau was reputedly a Grandmaster of the Priory of Sion, a wealthy secret society revealed in a 1974 Documentary series called The Priest The Painter and The Devil. This work was exploited by Dan Brown in his best seller The da Vinci Code.

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
