Why we made this
A perfect tee shirt is not a commodity. It is a layer that is with you from your first decision in the morning, to the last thing you’ll choose before you sleep at night. Most of us own a lot yet rely on only a few.
We favor those that fit just right, those that have worn in soft, and are reliably counted on when it matters. Yet, finding the perfect layer takes time and often a little luck. Brands change, trends change, industry wants to sell us “more “ and “new” and so we settle for “near-perfect”.
Simplicity requires design and intention. This tee has been stocked, sourced, purchased wholesale, is a blank, was made by a conglomerate, is seasonal, was designed to become that perfect, reliable layer. And in turn, unburden you to turn your time and attention to things more important matters than finding the perfect tee shirt.

HOW WE MADE THIS
Problem(s):
What makes a tee shirt classic? —What tee shirt pairs with a suit as well as sweats? —What shape looks polished without sacrificing durability wear after wear? —What tee can you wear to dinner and to brunch (when the night goes well)? —What colors compliment cofee stains?—how heavy is too hot? —why are all white tees always see through? —How does it look from behind? —How long is too long? —What kind of tee does a leading man wear in the movies? —what will look cool in a photograph 20 years from now?
Solutions
COLLAR WIDTH
~.75 in collar ensures substantial enough weight to lay flat yet thin enough to not distract when worn under a top layer.
Chest WIDTH
Designed to appear tailored at the highest point of the chest and relax as the shirt tapers.
Peace of mind
Eco-conscious cotton, fair trade farmed mills, biodegradable, with off set carbon emissions.
hem length
The hem length has been measured to falls just beneath the belt line. Ideally long enough to be tucked-in when required, but assured to never hang below the seat of your pant.
Waist
A relaxed hem tailoring for room in the mid section to aid when tucking, movement and provide generosity for your frame.
sleeve length
The sleeves are designed to land mid bi-cep. They are unbound. Thus, creating a relaxed silhouette for those with mid size arms and a fitted, yet not restricting, fit for those who have the liberty.
FABRIC & Weight
Made from a broken-in yet hard-wearing cotton in a mid-weight fabric that can extend to all season wear.
Forever Stock

This product exists to liberate your mornings from over-thinking which shirt to wear. To provide you an essential foundation for your daily wardrobe. To free you from decision fatigue. Wear it well. wear it out.
