Know what you wear

Weight alone does not make a good tee, but 240 g/m² is a heavy, dense fabric that holds its shape. Most basic tees are 140 to 180 g/m². Check the cotton too: ours is 100% combed cotton, and combing removes the short fibres before the yarn is spun (Cotton Incorporated). It is also ZeroShrink cotton.

Yes. There is no official cut-off, but around 200 g/m² is where a tee is commonly called heavyweight, and 300 and up is often called super heavyweight. At 240 g/m², about 7.1 oz/yd², our tees hang straight instead of clinging.

A 240 g/m² fabric has a third more cotton in every square metre than a 180 (240 ÷ 180 = 1.33). 180 is a typical mid-weight fashion tee: lighter and closer to the body. 240 feels thicker in the hand and holds a boxy shape. See the weight chart.

300 g/m² is a quarter heavier again (300 ÷ 240 = 1.25). Tees at 300 and up are often called super heavyweight: stiffer, warmer and more structured. 240 is heavy but still easy to wear in warm weather. Our tees are 240 and 260 g/m².

It is warmer than a thin tee, yes. But a heavyweight tee stands off the body instead of sticking to it when you sweat, and the boxy cut adds air. On the hottest days, the tee is the piece to reach for, not the 400 g/m² sweats.

Divide g/m² by 33.906 to get ounces per square yard, because 1 oz/yd² is 33.906 g/m² (NIST). So 240 g/m² is about 7.1 oz, 260 is about 7.7 oz and 400 is about 11.8 oz.

gsm measures weight per square metre, not thickness in millimetres, and we do not publish a thickness figure. What you notice is density: 240 g/m² has a third more cotton than a 180 tee, so it feels thicker in the hand and hangs instead of clinging.

No. The Black & White tees are 240 g/m². The Vintage & Sunfaded tees are 240 or 260 g/m² (the product page says which). Each product page shows the exact weight under Details and Care.

Grams per square metre: how much the fabric weighs. A higher number is denser and heavier. The tees are 240 and 260 g/m². The hoodie and sweatpants are 400 g/m² brushed fleece.

Every piece is cut roomy and true to size. Between two sizes: slim build, size down. Broad build, size up. The size guide on each product page has every measurement, laid flat. More in the fit guide.

Not after it reaches you. Every piece is ZeroShrink: the fabric is washed and tumble-dried before it is cut, so the shrinking happens at the factory, not in your wash. Wash cold and hang it dry, and it holds its size. Wash the tees inside out. Hanging them dry protects the print too.

ZeroShrink fabric is washed and tumble-dried before it is cut. The shrinking happens before your piece is made, so it holds its size in a normal home wash.

Inside out, cold water, gentle cycle, mild detergent. Hang it dry, out of direct sun, and keep the iron off the print. Skip the tumble dryer to protect the print.

Yes, on low, max 30 °C / 90 °F, reverse side out with a neutral detergent. Hang the tees dry instead.

More on washing so the print survives, in the FAQ.

It is called torque, skew or spirality. Cotton single jersey, a common t-shirt knit, tends to skew when the fabric relaxes, and drying without tension makes it worse (Cotton Incorporated). How much depends on the yarn twist, the knitting machine and the finishing.

Yes. The hoodie and the sweatpants are 100% combed cotton, 400 g/m² brushed fleece, ZeroShrink. Both are cut oversized. The sweatpants have a relaxed leg with elastic cuffs and are true to size.

The Black & White tees are reactive-dyed. The hoodie and sweatpants are washed and easy to fade, so the colour softens as you wear them. That is the look.

The dye can bleed a little in the first wash. Wash it inside out, in cold water, with like colours.
