Be careful with the size—they run large.
Good quality, thick fabric, but the sizes run large—my husband usually wears a M, but here it’s an S. It’s difficult to make exchanges or returns if you’re outside the VAT zone; in that case, they don’t cover shipping costs, and there are many difficulties with returns—but that’s only if you’re in a place like the Canary Islands, which has a different tax system.

Designed in the Netherlands, 300 gsm, built to hold its shape.
A heavyweight tee is the difference between a T-shirt that lasts a season and one that lasts years. Ours is the TS 01 Essence Heavyweight 2.0, cut from a 300 gsm Italian Fleece built to hold its structure rather than sag at the collar or hem, in a regular and an oversized fit. That it keeps its shape wash after wash is the single point our reviewers raise most. Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.
Across more than 500 verified reviews ETQ holds 4.6 out of 5, and after quality the word that recurs most is comfort. It's the tee people repeat-buy across colours, part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
The range, by how you'll actually wear it
Regular fit. A clean, classic cut in the 300 gsm Italian Fleece: the everyday tee to build a wardrobe around.
Oversized fit. The same 300 gsm fabric in a relaxed, boxier drape, where the weight keeps the loose shape looking deliberate rather than sloppy.
How to wear them
The most versatile shirt in the wardrobe. Wear it with chinos or denim and clean sneakers, or layer it under an overshirt, shirt or sweater. For warmer days, see the lightweight version.
Fabric and fit
Our Italian Fleece is a 300 gsm structured heavyweight, pre-washed to limit shrinkage and chosen so the tee holds its shape rather than thinning out. Offered in regular and oversized; most customers find them true to size.
Care
Machine wash cool at 30°C, inside out, with like colours, then reshape and dry flat or tumble on low, and keep the iron warm rather than hot. That is how the structure stays at its best.
Frequently asked about heavyweight tees
How heavy is the fabric?
It's our Italian Fleece, a 300 gsm structured heavyweight, chosen so the tee holds its shape and structure rather than thinning out. Noticeably more substantial than a standard 150-180 gsm tee.
Regular or oversized fit?
Regular for a clean, classic cut; oversized for a relaxed, boxier drape. Both run true to size for most customers; the oversized is already cut generously, so stay true to size there.
Does it shrink or lose shape?
It's pre-washed to limit shrinkage and engineered to hold its shape, the point reviewers mention most. Wash cool at 30°C and dry flat to keep it at its best.
How do I care for it?
Machine wash cool at 30°C, inside out, reshape and dry flat or tumble low, warm iron only. Washing less keeps the structure and colour for longer.
Where are they made?
Designed in our Dutch studio and made in family-owned ateliers in Portugal, Turkey or China, chosen per piece for the best make.
