TS 01 Essence Regular Heavyweight Chocolate Heavyweight Stretch Cotton
Frequently bought together.
A t-shirt is the hardest thing to get right, because everything shows. This one keeps the shoulder set and the body straight, so the line runs clean from collar to hem. The cloth is heavy enough to hold that shape rather than take yours. Same shirt every season. Better every season.

- The second version of this piece. We changed what needed changing and left the rest alone.
- 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.
- 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.
- Composition: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane.
- Pre-washed, so it will not shrink on you after the first wash.
- The ETQ signature square at the back of the neck.
- 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.

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.

Well
The fabric and weight of the T-shirt are perfect. It’s just that the fit wasn’t right for my body type. In size S, it’s almost oversized. Good, but a little disappointing

5-back shirts with great fit
Now I can wear all the the time a shirt that is with the right fit and also the fabric is thicker.
The quality is fine, but the collar fits really strangely.
The quality is fine, but the collar fits really oddly. It doesn't fit snugly around the neck.

Unrivaled quality, great fabric - designer quality 🙌
Great fit, great quality - you just have to make sure you wash it properly so that the fabric remains of such high quality.
Bad durability
Just like the trousers I've bought, this shirt don't have a good durability. I've it for about 1 month and the fabric is already visible marked.
Excellent t-shirt, perfect fit, thick fabric
Love the shirt

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.
