Staple T-Shirt

Ultra-light, soft, and easy to wear

The Staple is our lightest option at 142 g/m², cut from Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton. Fine, soft fabric with a barely-there feel that moves with you rather than sitting on you. It is side-seamed with shoulder-to-shoulder taping, so it follows the body without clinging to it. If you prefer a tee that feels effortless and does not weigh you down, this is the one.

  • 142 g/m² Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton
  • Side-seamed construction, pre-shrunk fabric
  • All-day comfort without the bulk

Best for: warmer days, layering, and anyone who likes their tees light and unobtrusive

Solid colours are 100% cotton. Ash and Heather Prism shades are 99% cotton with 1% polyester, Athletic and Black Heather are 90% cotton with 10% polyester, and other heather shades are 52% cotton with 48% polyester. Being this light, the fabric can look slightly sheer in pale colours or strong light.

Featherlight and flattering, darling, but do heed the warning. I have been dead four centuries and even I would not stand in front of a window in the pale shades.

Classic T-Shirt

The reliable cotton tee, familiar from the first wear

The Classic is straightforward by design. Between 170 and 180 g/m² of pre-shrunk jersey cotton, a classic fit cut for loose comfort, and a dependable hand-feel that most people know instantly. The sturdy cloth keeps its edges crisp and holds shape through repeated washes. It sits above the Staple and below both Premium styles, which makes it the middle ground of the range. It is not trying to be anything other than a solid everyday T-shirt, and that is exactly why it works.

  • 170 to 180 g/m² pre-shrunk jersey cotton
  • Classic fit, tubular construction, taped neck and shoulders
  • Double seam at sleeves and bottom hem

Best for: everyday wear, classic sizing, and a no-fuss T-shirt that just gets on with it

Most colours are 100% cotton. Sport Grey is 90% cotton with 10% polyester, Ash Grey is 99% cotton with 1% polyester, and heather shades are 50% cotton with 50% polyester. White may read slightly off-white, and Natural carries dark speckles through the cloth as a property of the fabric.

It will not change your life. It will simply be there, holding its shape long after you have stopped holding yours.

03 Premium

Premium Garment-Dyed T-Shirt

Heavyweight comfort with a broken-in feel

This is where things step up noticeably. At 207 g/m² of ring-spun cotton, the Premium Garment-Dyed T-Shirt is heavier, softer, and lived-in straight out of the box. Dyeing the finished garment rather than the cloth gives each shirt subtle depth and shade variation, and the fabric is pre-shrunk before it ever reaches you. The fit is relaxed rather than close, and the twill-taped neck and shoulders are built to take years of wear.

  • 207 g/m² garment-dyed ring-spun cotton, 20 singles
  • Relaxed fit, twill-taped neck and shoulders
  • Soft, broken-in texture from day one

Best for: those who want a thicker tee, lasting comfort, and something that improves with wear

The garment-dyeing and softening process produces slight colour variation between individual shirts. This is a property of the process, not a fault.

No two come out quite the same shade, and that is precisely the appeal.
Sameness is for the living.

04 Premium

Premium Oversized Faded T-Shirt

Boxy fit. Statement weight.

Premium Oversized Faded T-Shirt detail showing neck and stitching

Built to stand out rather than blend in. At 240 g/m² this is the heaviest cloth we stock, cut boxy and oversized with dropped shoulders and wide neck ribbing. The faded look is not printed on. The garment is dyed whole, so the colour sits deeper in the creases and lighter along the exposed edges, and no two come out quite the same. Slightly rebellious, intentionally unhurried.

  • 240 g/m² carded cotton, the heaviest in the range
  • Boxy oversized fit with dropped shoulders
  • Garment-dyed finish, so shade varies piece to piece

Best for: streetwear looks, bold designs, and anyone who wants their T-shirt to have presence

Cut to a men's pattern. Check the size guide on the product page before ordering.

If you insist on taking up space, do take it up deliberately.
Anything less is simply a large shirt.

Still unsure?

Lich Tailor has narrowed it down for you. He has had several centuries to think about this, and very little else to do.
