TS 01 Essence Regular Lightweight Black 2.0 Soft Stretch Cotton
Frequently bought together.
A lighter t-shirt has less to hide behind, so the cut has to carry it. The TS 01 Lightweight is boxy through the body and squared at the shoulder, in a jersey thin enough to move and dense enough to hang. For heat, and for wearing under things. Same shirt every season. Better every season.

- The ETQ signature square at the back of the neck.
- Pre-washed, so it will not shrink on you after the first wash.

- From the collections Menswear, T-Shirts and Regular 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.

Très bon t-shirt
J'ai enfin trouvé LE t-shirt blanc !
Perfect
Exactly what I've been looking for for a while—it fits perfectly!
Well-fitting, comfortable T-shirt
I bought one T-shirt to try out at first. They’re really comfortable. Stretch fabric. I ended up buying all the colors. I also got a pair of white sneakers (I’m very happy with them). It’s a shame the Lightweight shirts aren’t available in chocolate. Fast delivery. Hopefully the colors and fit will hold up even after multiple washes. I don’t put them in the dryer, and I’m going to try more of their clothes. 4 stars because I don’t know how they’ll look after a longer period of time.
Great fit
Great fit for my body type and great material
TS01 and LT01 Shades - Blueberrey
This is already my fourth pair of the LT01 that I’ve purchased. The quality and condition of all six pairs are still outstanding! It’s a very nice shoe that works well for both a smart and a casual look. This time, I chose to pair them with the blueberry TS01 shirt to match the shoes I bought

High-quality T-shirt
This T-shirt fits well. The stretchy fabric feels nice against the skin. I'm going to order more. Hopefully they'll hold up well after washing—if so, I'll give them 5 stars.

Quality
I’ve been shopping with this store for the last 18 months or so. I’ve always been so pleased with the quality and design. I’ve bought T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies and trainers and very pleased with my purchase. I hope this helps when looking to make your own purchase.
New favorite shirt!
Love these. They are soft, fit well, and look great. Minimalist but classy, exactly what I like. They perform great in warm weather, feels soft and airy!
Lovely Quality
Really great quality T-shirts with a nice stretch and lightness about them. Colour is strong and deep and after a few washes is far from fading.

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.
