Description
In 1632, a man climbed to the top of Galata Tower with eagle wings strapped to his arms. He had spent years studying birds in flight, testing the wings, calculating the angle of the southwest wind that crossed the Bosphorus on certain afternoons. When the wind was right, he stepped off the edge.

He flew from the European shore to Üsküdar on the Asian side — approximately three and a half kilometres, crossing the strait that had separated two continents since before Istanbul had a name. Sultan Murad IV watched from the Sinan Pasha mansion at Sarayburnu. He was impressed enough to give Hezârfen a sack of gold. He was unsettled enough to exile him to Algeria immediately afterward.

Hezârfen Ahmed Çelebi died in Algeria. The tower is still standing in Karaköy. One of Istanbul's airports carries his name.

The design shows the figure mid-crossing — eagle wings open, the Bosphorus as a single line below, the tower small at the lower-left where he left it. The diagonal is the flight path. The ancient stone and the open sky. That contrast is the whole design.

He crossed the Bosphorus. The Sultan exiled him for it.

Take care to avoid extreme heat and direct sunlight when storing the product as this may cause colour fading and/or shrinkage. We recommend storing the product in a cool, shaded and dry place at all times. 

Washing: Caring for your cotton t-shirts, hoodies, and tank tops properly will help them maintain their shape, color, and softness wash after wash. Follow these guidelines for best results.

Machine Washing
•  Turn garments inside out before washing to protect prints, colors, and fabric surfaces.
•  Wash in cold water (30°C / 86°F or below) on a gentle or normal cycle.
•  Sort by color: wash darks, lights, and whites separately to prevent bleeding.
•  Wash similar weights together—avoid mixing with towels, jeans, or heavy items that cause abrasion.
•  Use a small amount of mild liquid detergent. Avoid bleach on colored garments.
•  For hoodies, zip or button closures and wash separately for the first few cycles to protect linings and hardware.


Drying
•  Air dry whenever possible by laying flat or hanging on a sturdy hanger. This prevents shrinkage and maintains fit.
•  If using a dryer, select low heat and remove items while slightly damp to minimize wrinkling and fabric stress.
•  Do not overdry.


Additional Tips
•  Treat stains promptly with a small amount of detergent or stain remover—avoid harsh chemicals.
•  Do not use fabric softener; it can reduce fabric breathability and cause buildup.
•  Allow garments to rest 24 hours after wearing before rewashing to let fibers recover.
•  Rotate your wardrobe to extend the life of each piece.

No Bleach: Other than adding water, bleach should not be used on these products. Don't use bleach unless the garment is white. Avoid over bleaching as it can cause damage or yellowing.
