In a regular and an oversized fit. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.

The range, by how you'll actually wear it
Regular fit. The clean, classic lightweight tee for warm days and layering.
Oversized fit. The same Soft Stretch Cotton in a relaxed, boxier drape.
How to wear them
Built for heat and ease. Wear it with shorts or chinos and a loafer or clean sneaker, or layer it under an open shirt. The tonal shades keep an outfit quiet.
Fabric and fit
A Soft Stretch Cotton: finer and lighter than our heavyweight, with a little elastane for comfort and an easy, relaxed drape. Offered in regular and oversized; most customers find them true to size.
Care
Machine wash cool at 30°C, inside out, with like colours, reshape and hang or lay flat to dry, and keep the iron low.
Frequently asked about lightweight tees
How is the lightweight different from the heavyweight tee?
It uses a finer Soft Stretch Cotton made for warm weather and layering, where the heavyweight is our structured 300 gsm Italian Fleece built to hold its shape. If you want one year-round tee, choose the heavyweight; for summer and layering, the lightweight.
Regular or oversized?
Regular for a clean, classic cut; oversized for a relaxed, boxier drape. Most customers stay true to size in both.
How does it fit?
True to size for most customers. The lightweight has a little stretch for an easy drape; size up in the regular if you prefer it looser.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash cool at 30°C, inside out, reshape and hang or lay flat to dry, low iron. Full care is on the product page.
Where is it made?
Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece.
