TS 01 Essence Regular Heavyweight Anthracite 2.0 Heavyweight Stretch Cotton
Frequently bought together.
This regular fit heavyweight T-shirt is a new and improved true wardrobe essential. It embraces our philosophy by refining timeless silhouettes instead of chasing seasons. Rebuilt with enhanced rib structure and reinforced stitching around the collar. A masterclass in subtle upgrades. Designed with a balanced cut and refined proportions. Cut from dense Italian fleece with a soft, structured feel. A clean essential for workdays, weekends, and everything in between. Built for the long haul.
- 300 g/m². Heavy enough that the fabric hangs instead of clinging, and stays that way after washing.
- Heavyweight stretch cotton, dense enough to hold a shape and soft enough to wear against the skin.
- A reinforced rib collar, because the collar is where a t-shirt gives up first. It comes out of the wash the same shape it went in.
- A double-stitched neckline that holds its round through years of being pulled over your head.
- The second version of this piece. We changed what needed changing and left the rest alone.
- Composition: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane.
- The ETQ signature square at the back of the neck.
- Pre-washed, so it will not shrink on you after the first wash.
- Machine wash at 30°C, inside out and on a gentle cycle. That is all it needs to keep its shape and colour.
- From the collections Menswear, T-Shirts and Oversized T-Shirts

Essence is the collection with nothing on it. No logo, no print, no mark of any kind, because the shape should be enough to recognise. It is where ETQ started and where every new design gets tested: if it needs a badge to work, it is not finished. What remains is the design.
Shop the look
Made by specialists.
No single factory does everything well. So we don't ask one to. Every piece is built by the maker who masters that exact craft — the cut, the cloth, the finish. Chosen for skill, never convenience. It shows in how it's made, and in how long it lasts.
Sharp, never stiff.
The ease of your softest loungewear, with the line of real tailoring. The kind of comfort you stop noticing — on a silhouette that still reads refined.
Product design, not fashion.
From our Dutch studio we don't reinvent each season. We refine. The same icons, made better every time — the wardrobe you keep, not the trend you replace.

Outside the EU (except the UK), you don’t pay Dutch VAT: the 21% comes off your order automatically at checkout, as soon as you enter your address or switch country or currency. Import duties and local taxes aren’t included; the carrier collects them on delivery (DDU). We can’t calculate or cover them in advance, so check with your local customs office what to expect.

How it's made - Menswear
All ETQ garments are crafted in family-owned ateliers.
We team up with ateliers that work with traditional methods. Cutting, crafting, and stitching piece by piece with ultimate care. Unlike fast fashion companies, we have the luxury to take our time. Slow motion. We are masters of precision engineering.
Endless Comfort - Menswear
You look sophisticated, yet feel like Sunday mornings.
When it comes to materials, our bar is high. Only the finest materials enter the Atelier. No shortcuts. ETQs premium weaves and knits are smooth like butter. They are durable and have recovery properties. They stay in shape. And so will you.
Quality matters. We focus on things, that even the eye can't see. Obsessive, yes. But: soon after wearing ETQ you will notice the quality difference.
Dutch Design
Strong silhouettes. Nuanced colors. Thick layers of quality and a thin layer of logos. That’s ETQ. We master precision engineering and tinker with our products as if they were race cars. Every collection is the same but evolved. Continuously.
And so our story goes on. Evolving classic etiquette to match the pace of today. We don’t just do it. We do it with grace.

How to measure
Let’s find your perfect fit. Place a sheet of paper on the floor against the wall and put your feet (with socks) on it, heels against the wall. Make sure you lean on your feet with full power when measuring. Now you simply draw a line at the end of the biggest foot. Measure the distance with a ruler and find the size that matches it: see size table. Are you in between sizes? In that case, we suggest taking the bigger size.
