Men's T-Shirts

Classic Cotton Basics

Crew-neck and V-neck tees in mid-weight cotton form the foundation of any casual wardrobe. Look for shirts made from ring-spun or combed cotton, which deliver a softer hand feel and drape more cleanly than standard jersey. Features to expect: reinforced neck seams, secure double-needle stitching on hems, and tag-free necklines for itch-free comfort. Neutral colours, white, black, grey, navy serve as versatile layering pieces or stand-alone staples.

Graphic & Printed Styles

Graphic tees add instant character to an outfit. Contemporary prints range from subtle logo placements to bold all-over designs. Modern printing techniques, such as water-based inks and discharge printing, keep graphics vibrant wash after wash without compromising fabric hand feel. Pair statement tees with denim and trainers for an effortless weekend look.

Performance & Technical Fabrics

For active days or warmer weather, performance-blend t-shirts incorporate synthetic fibres, like modal, polyester, or elastane, into the fabric for enhanced moisture management and stretch. These blends wick sweat away from the skin, dry quickly, and retain their shape through intensive workouts or long days on the move. Look for flat-lock seams and strategic ventilation panels to minimise chafing and boost airflow.

Fit & Styling Options

• Regular Fit: Offers room through chest and waist without appearing baggy, ideal for layering or relaxed wear.

• Slim Fit: Tapers closer to the body for a modern silhouette, works well under blazers or with tailored trousers.

• Longline & Oversized: Extend past the hips for streetwear-inspired looks, pair with joggers or slim jeans for balance.

• Pocket Tees & Henleys: Add subtle detail with chest pockets or partial button plackets, allowing easy styling elevation.

Fabric Weights & Seasonal Choices

Lightweight jersey (120–150gsm) is perfect for hot days or as a base layer beneath open shirts. Mid-weight cotton (160–180gsm) delivers structure for year-round wear, while heavier knits (200–220gsm) feel substantial enough to stand alone when temperatures dip. Consider garment-dyed options for richer, lived-in hues that age gracefully.

Care & Longevity Tips

• Wash inside out in cold water to preserve colour and protect prints.

• Use gentle detergents; avoid bleach and fabric softeners that can degrade fibres.

• Hang or flat-dry where possible to maintain shape and prevent shrinkage.

• Store folded rather than hung to prevent shoulder sag on heavier knits.
