Product Details

VINTAGE T-SHIRT

  • Premium Fabric: Made from 100% US-grown cotton, this tee features medium-weight fabric (5.3 oz/yd² or 180 g/m²) that combines sustainability with durability. The specially spun fibers provide a smooth surface, ensuring vivid and sharp printing.

  • Comfort and Fit: The classic fit offers a relaxed and comfortable wear, making it suitable for various occasions, whether casual outings or semi-formal events. The crew neckline adds a timeless touch, ensuring you look polished and put-together.

  • No Side Seams: Constructed in one piece using tubular knit, this design reduces fabric waste and enhances the garment's overall appeal.

  • Shoulder Tape: Twill tape reinforces the shoulder seams, stabilizing the back of the shirt and preventing stretching for long-lasting wear.

  • Ribbed Knit Collar: The collar is made from a highly elastic ribbed knit, retaining its shape while providing comfort without seams to irritate the skin.

  • Scratch-Free Experience: The tear-away label ensures no irritation or discomfort, making it easy to wear all day long.

  • Care Instructions: Non-chlorine bleach as needed. Do not iron or dry clean. Machine wash cold (max 30°C or 90°F). Tumble dry on low heat.

  • Made in the USA: Each tee is manufactured to meet high-quality standards and rigorously quality-checked to ensure you receive the best possible product. This tee is certified by Oeko-Tex for safety and quality assurance, ensuring you wear responsibly sourced materials.
