When Chinese idioms are translated directly into English, they often lose their original nuance or sound oddly poetic in a way that might not fully make sense. They may even take on new meanings.
This is especially true when Chinese phrases are used in signs, artwork, or even slogans. For example, a sign might not simply say “Be careful” or “Don’t make mistakes,” but instead, it might read something like, “A single act of carelessness leads to the eternal loss of beauty.”
Even though it may immediately strike one as puzzling and overly formal when translated into English, it’s a beautiful way to say that beauty requires attention and respect. The loss of beauty could represent the destruction of something intangible, like trust, love, or opportunity, which can be harder to restore once lost. It’s a reminder to handle things with care, for once something precious is lost, it cannot be retrieved.
How it's made
Made with ethically grown and harvested ring-spun US cotton, this is a lightweight fabric (4.5 oz/yd² (153 g/m²)) in a modern unisex cut. The classic fit with the crew neckline deliver a clean, versatile style that can match any occasion, whether formal or semi-formal.
Shoulders are reinforced with twill tape, there are no side seams for a smoother fit, and the ribbed-knit collar helps prevent curling. All shirts feature a pearlized, tear-away label for total wearing comfort.
Solid colors are 100% cotton, while heathers and sport grey use polyester blends for added durability. Note that due to the fabric properties, the White color variant may appear slightly off-white rather than bright white.
