TS 01 Essence Oversized Heavyweight Black 2.0 Heavyweight Stretch Cotton
Frequently bought together.
A t-shirt is the hardest thing to get right, because everything shows. Cut oversized on purpose: dropped shoulder, wide body, long enough to sit past the waistband. Now rebuilt with a denser rib and reinforced stitching at the collar, because that is where a t-shirt gives up first. Same shirt every season. Better every season.

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.

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.

Nice shirt
A wonderfully comfortable T-shirt with a great fit and beautiful finish. Just a little too warm right now 😉
Great comfort and feel
feels how i imagined, but the size feels like S instead M compared to the other 2 shirts i ordered
Quality and sizing subpar
Such a shame that the production moved locations. My anthracite t-shirt, same model, was made in Portugal and both the quality and sizing is better. But this off-white t-shirt is made in Turkey and the cotton is more rough and more prone to attract pet hairs. The sizing of this off-white t-shirt is terrible, compared to the other Medium t-shirts I have (anthracite and navy). It is too boxy and the sleeves are ridiculously large compared to the other two. I really hope that this is not how the company moves forward because it is not an improvement.
The cut is perfect and the t-shirt is great.
Dikke stof. Goede pasvorm en lengte
Goede kwaliteit
It's great!

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.
