Choose Your Tee by Fabric

Fine Jersey — Everyday Soft

If you want a lighter, easy-wear cotton t-shirt that layers well and feels smooth against the skin, Fine Jersey is the go-to. Explore our fine jersey t-shirts collection for breathable everyday options that work with denim, track pants, or under a jacket or hoodie.

Heavyweight Cotton — More Structure, More Presence

Prefer a thicker cotton t-shirt that sits strong on the body and doesn't look flimsy? Heavyweight styles are made for that clean, durable look — great for everyday wear and ideal when you want the tee to feel more premium. You can also explore standout pieces like the 9001 super heavyweight t-shirt.

Garment Dyed — Lived-In Look, Elevated Finish

For colour that looks broken-in from day one, garment-dyed options bring a washed, worn-in character — without sacrificing the quality or fit. Browse our garment dyed t-shirts for this elevated casual aesthetic.

Sueded Cotton — Soft-Touch Comfort

If your priority is comfort and a smoother hand-feel, sueded tees give you that softer finish while staying minimal and easy to style. Discover more in our sueded jersey t-shirt collection.

Long Sleeve & V-Neck — Year-Round Staples

Long sleeve cotton t-shirts are perfect for cooler days or a clean layered look beneath a jacket or over-shirt. V-neck styles keep it sharp and simple when you want a slightly open neckline without going dressy. Both are available in unisex fits.
