Description

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, in a 300 g/m² cotton that holds the volume. This is the second version. You told us the collar was the first thing to go, so we rebuilt it with a denser rib. We refined the fabric as well.

Premium features
  • The second version: a firmer rib at the neck that keeps its shape, and a refined fabric.
  • 300 g/m². The fabric hangs instead of clinging, also after washing.
  • Heavyweight stretch cotton. Holds its shape, soft against the skin.
  • Reinforced rib collar. Keeps its shape wash after wash.
  • Double-stitched neckline. Stays round, year after year.
  • Composition: 95% Cotton, 5% Elastane.
Show all 10 features
  • Made in Turkey. Designed in the Netherlands.
  • 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, on a gentle cycle.
Size & fit

Material info

Weight you can feel. Knitted at 300 g/m2 from 95% cotton with 5% elastane. The cotton gives it a dense, structured hand and a smooth, clean surface. The elastane lets it move with you and pull back into shape, wash after wash. Substantial on the body, soft on the skin, made for daily wear.

Care
  • Wash cold on a gentle cycle, inside out with similar colours
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Iron inside out on low heat
  • Wash only when needed
Collection story

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.

Good to know

Insured in transit

Your order is insured until it reaches you. Sometimes we ask for a signature on delivery; from then on, the parcel is your responsibility. If someone else signs for you, their signature counts as proof of delivery.

Ordering from outside the EU?

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.

    The perfect T-Shirt

    If you are looking for a timeless high quality T-shirt, this one is for you. I was searching for a long time for a shirt which just fits and hold it’s fit after wearing and washing it a few times. Now I’m just ordering the third time another batch of these shirts. For me with 1,80m, trained with 75kg it’s just the perfect form and shape. In comparison to the light cotton oversized version, for me this model is much better.

    Fit may vary!

    I bought the same T-shirt in size M last year. This time, the shirt was wider and shorter. The collar is probably better now (version 2.0). Last year I bought a 4-pack with “pleated collars.” I’m writing this review because of the extra discount. It would have been nice to receive some compensation for the pleated collars as well.

    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.

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.

Questions about the TS 01 Essence Oversized Heavyweight 2.0

How does the TS 01 Oversized fit?

True to size, in a boxy, relaxed shape with dropped shoulders and extra room through the body. Take your usual size for the full oversized look, or one size down for a cleaner, less boxy shape. Between sizes, take the smaller one.

What is the fabric like?

Heavyweight stretch cotton at 300 g/m²: 95% cotton, 5% elastane. Dense enough to hold a shape and soft enough to wear against the skin. Heavy enough that the fabric hangs instead of clinging, and it stays that way after washing.

How do I wash it, and will it shrink?

Machine wash at 30°C, inside out and on a gentle cycle. That is all it needs to keep its shape and colour. It is pre-washed, so it will not shrink on you after the first wash.

Will the collar keep its shape?

Yes. The rib collar is reinforced, because the collar is where a t-shirt gives up first, and the double-stitched neckline holds its round through years of being pulled over your head.

How do returns work if it doesn't fit?

Open our return portal and choose your new size: it ships as soon as your return is on its way, and you don't need to place a new order. Prefer a different colour or model? Choose store credit and order again, or choose a refund. Costs per country are on our returns page.

Is there a warranty on my ETQ product?

Yes, manufacturing defects are covered by the statutory warranty. Something not right? Send us a photo and your order number and we’ll find a solution together. Normal wear and damage from use are not covered.

Do you have a store?

We don't have our own store: ETQ is online only. You order here and try everything on at home. If it isn't right, you can exchange or return it through our return portal.

Something not right? Tell us.

We’ll sort it out with you. And it goes back to the studio, so the next version is better.
