This garment comes in five "nude" tones ranging from dark to light tan shades. A chest binder is anything used to bind and flatten the chest.
According to gc2b, gc2b is a trans-owned company based in Maryland and founded in 2015. gc2b's founder, CEO, and designer, Marli Washington, saw that the only binding options were uncomfortable and inadequate compression shirts. As a University of the Arts Industrial Design graduate, he used his experience in product design and textiles to provide accessible, comfortable, and safe binding options for trans people. gc2b claims to produce the first garments designed and patented specifically for gender-affirming chest binding.
