What are people saying about our longsleeve shirts.
Very nice polo shirt
The quality is definitely there!
Translated from French
ETQ stands for Elegant, Timeless, Quality
…and it truly lives up to that promise. The clothing is well worth the money. The color selection is carefully curated, making it easy to mix and match. The garments are easy to care for and suitable for a wide range of occasions, from casual to more elegant settings. One thing I would love to see is a wider selection of long-sleeve lightweight shirts. They would be especially useful on very sunny days, providing extra sun protection while remaining comfortable to wear.

Designed in the Netherlands, a heavyweight long-sleeve that holds its shape.
The long-sleeve here is the TS 03 Essence: a heavyweight long-sleeve tee cut from the same 300 gsm Italian Fleece as our heavyweight range, a structured cotton blend with a soft interior that holds its shape rather than sags. It's the clean base layer for cooler days, and a quiet upgrade on the thin long-sleeves most brands sell. 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 comfort is the word that recurs most after quality. Part of a community of more than 250,000 customers.
A long-sleeve tee, not a shirt
To be clear about what this is: the TS 03 is a long-sleeve T-shirt, not a collared shirt. If you want a collar, see our shirts; if you want a collar with the ease of a knit, the long-sleeve polo sits in between. The long-sleeve tee is the simplest of the three: a clean crew neck, full-length sleeves, nothing to fasten. One silhouette in tonal colours, and in multi-packs.
The fabric
Italian Fleece is a 300 gsm structured heavyweight cotton blend, pre-washed to limit shrinkage and built to hold its shape rather than thin out, the point our reviewers raise most about the heavyweight range. A soft interior, a clean surface that takes tonal colour well, and enough weight to drape properly instead of clinging. The same fabric behind our heavyweight T-shirts and Marked sweats.
How to wear it
On its own with denim or chinos and clean sneakers; as a base layer under an overshirt, knit or jacket as it cools. Keep it to muted shades and let the weight and fit do the work.
Long-sleeve tee, polo or shirt?
The long-sleeve tee (TS 03) is a crew-neck heavyweight tee, the simplest base layer. The long-sleeve polo adds a collar with the ease of a knit, a step smarter. A shirt is the sharpest, collared look.
Frequently asked about the long-sleeve tee

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.
Mediterranean Suede
Refined in style, matt in color. The ultra-soft suede leather is sanded and feels velvety soft. It is crafted from the inside layer of the leather hide. Mediterranean leather is the delicate choice.
Premium Suede
Experience unparalleled luxury. It's made of the finest selection of hides and superior finishing techniques. It is valued for its softness, flexibility, and ability to lend a sophisticated look. Our premium suede shoes need no lining, just one layer of leather. It wears like a second skin.
Nappa Leather
Soft. Smooth. Nappa leather makes extremely comfortable shoes. The leather is obtained from tanning animal hides. It is characterized by a fine grain and a smooth finish. It feels simply sophisticated.
Nubuck Leather
Premium nubuck: the best of the best. Exclusive leather that we sanded rough on the outside grain part of the hide, giving it a velvety butter-soft surface. It offers utmost suppleness.
Full Grain Leather
Full grain leather is naturally firmer and more durable as it is produced by retaining the top layer of the hide. Its appearance is natural, authentic, and robust. You are still able to see the grains. It looks just like the grains on your skin. We never sanded, buffed, or snuffed it, so this leather is super strong.
French Terry
Tès Chique. French terry is a knit characterized by its unique looped-back construction. One side is smooth, and the other side is textured with loops of thread. It is known for its comfort, breathability, and moisture-proof properties. French terry is available as lightweight or heavyweight.
Punti di Roma
Wrinkle-resistant, soft like a baby, and slightly elastic. This is Italian quality, knitted to perfection. Punti Di Roma has a heavy, rich quality as the stitches interlock on both sides of the fabric. The best part: it’s recovery properties. This fabric stays in shape. And so will you.
Bamboo
Bamboo fibers are derived from the pulp of bamboo plants. Bamboo knits are soft and breathable. Moisture wicking? Yes. Ideal for socks.
American Fleece
Comfort meets durability in our American Fleece. This fabric is made from a blend of premium cotton and synthetic fibers, providing a soft yet resilient texture. Known for its exceptional warmth and insulation, American Fleece is perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Its slightly brushed surface creates a plush, cozy feel, making it ideal for cooler climates. Despite its softness, this fleece is highly durable and resistant to pilling, ensuring it maintains its luxurious feel wear after wear.

Piqué Knit
A true classic in fabric craftsmanship, piqué knit is renowned for its unique textured surface, characterized by a subtle waffle or honeycomb pattern. Originally developed for sportswear, piqué knit has evolved into a sophisticated fabric that balances structure with breathability. The weave creates tiny raised patterns, adding a tactile dimension while allowing air to flow easily, making it perfect for all-season wear.
Soft yet durable, piqué knit is frequently used in polo shirts and garments that require a balance between casual and formal. It drapes beautifully while maintaining a slight stretch, offering comfort without losing its shape. Known for its ability to hold its form and resist wrinkling, this fabric is an excellent choice for those who value a polished look with minimal maintenance.
Mercerized Cotton
Mercerized cotton is the epitome of luxury in cotton fabrics. Through a special finishing process, the cotton fibers are treated to enhance their natural properties, resulting in a fabric that is smoother, stronger, and more lustrous. The mercerization process not only strengthens the fibers but also gives the cotton a subtle sheen that adds an elevated, polished look to the material.
What sets mercerized cotton apart is its ability to hold dye exceptionally well, resulting in vibrant, rich colors that resist fading over time. It’s smoother to the touch than regular cotton, offering a silk-like feel without sacrificing breathability. This fabric is durable, resists shrinking, and maintains its shape, making it ideal for garments that combine sophistication with everyday wearability.
At ETQ, our mercerized cotton shirts offer a refined, elegant look with the comfort and practicality of cotton. It’s the perfect choice for those who appreciate understated luxury and long-lasting quality in their wardrobe essentials.
Twill Fabric – Iron Free
Twill fabric is a durable, structured material characterized by its diagonal weave pattern, offering a distinct texture and visual depth. Known for its strength and versatility, twill is used in garments that require a bit more durability while maintaining a polished, professional look. The diagonal weave provides natural wrinkle resistance, making it an excellent choice for both casual and formal attire.
What sets our Iron-Free Twill apart is its advanced treatment that ensures a smooth, crisp appearance straight out of the wash, eliminating the need for ironing. This fabric is designed to stay sharp and maintain its form throughout the day, providing an effortlessly polished look with minimal effort. Its ability to resist creasing and maintain its structure makes it ideal for busy professionals or frequent travelers who need their clothing to perform as well as they do.
