Meet the Super Heavyweight Tees: A New Era of Durability and Design

Our American Apparel® Super Heavyweight collection is here—crafted for those who demand more from their essentials. Our latest drop, the 9001 and 9410 Super Heavyweight T-shirts, are premium heavyweight staples built to take on anything. With on-trend oversized fits and top-tier fabric, they’re built to endure—timeless staples that hold their own through wear, wash, and whatever comes next.  


Icons of Craftsmanship  

The 9001 Super Heavyweight Tee is more than a garment—it’s a testament to craftsmanship.   

To highlight this, we’ve partnered with Lazarus Lab and Fearon, two Super Heavyweights in their own field. They are creative forces who bring their expertise to the table, blending tradition with modernity in ways that resonate with the spirit of the Super Heavyweight collection.

Meet Lazarus Lab  

Lazarus Lab is all about revival. Rooted in the resurgence of analogue photography, they challenge the fast-paced digital world by embracing slower, more deliberate processes.   

Their work honours the beauty of craftsmanship, much like the Super Heavyweight tees—each designed with care, built to be worn, and meant to last. The 9001 embodies this philosophy, featuring an oversized fit, heavyweight fabric, and a timeless appeal that ensures it remains a staple through seasons.  


Meet Fearon  

Fearon is an Australian based design and fabrication company founded in 2019 they focus on the creation of functional aluminium objects which are designed and handcrafted by brothers Jack and Mark Fearon. Fearon takes an industrial approach to design - stripping away excess and focusing on what matters—durability, functionality, and longevity. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with our Super Heavyweight collection. Just like their furniture, these tees are built to stand the test of time.

Strength in every thread 

The Super Heavyweight collection is engineered with purpose. Each tee is cut from a premium 300 g/m² heavyweight fabric blend of 80% ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester, delivering durability without compromising comfort. The oversized fit and dropped shoulders give these tees a modern edge, while the side-seamed construction ensures structure and longevity. Available in 10 colours and sizes S-3XL, they’re designed for decorators, creatives, and those who know quality when they see it.  
  
They embody the resilience of those who wear them, standing up to time, trends, and whatever life throws their way. Whether you’re drawn to their weight, their fit, or the craftsmanship behind them, these Super Heavyweight T-shirts are here to stay.
