Size, Fit & Material

Size Advice

True to size for regular fits. For an oversized tee look, go up one size and check that the length exceeds 72cm. Boxy cuts often have a shorter length and wider chest — ideal for layering over hoodies.

Fit Guide

Regular: true to size. Oversized: up one size. Boxy: check chest measurement — 58cm+ is considered boxy. Cropped: length under 62cm.

Material Advice

Single jersey is the standard. Interlock is smoother and more durable. Slub cotton gives a textured vintage feel. Avoid polyester-heavy blends unless you want a synthetic sheen.

2026 Style Direction

Minimalist vintage washes and distressed edges are everywhere in 2026. Oversized boxy tees with dropped shoulders are the default. Graphic tees are moving toward smaller, more subtle placements.
