How a tee gets that washed look
How a tee gets that washed look
Washing is what makes these look old, and the process happens at the factory instead of over three years of your own laundry. Sand-washing tumbles finished cotton with an abrasive so the surface fibers break and lift. Softer hand. Slightly clouded color on day one.
A print helps the illusion. Small retro graphics read older than large crisp ones, because scale dates a print faster than the artwork ever does. Worth knowing before you buy.
The one
Chest at size M runs 116 cm on the Baseball Raglan to 116 cm on the Sand-Washed Heavyweight Cotton. Body length runs 74 cm to 74 cm and sleeve runs 24.5 cm to 24.5 cm. All one carry a full size chart.
Fabric is cotton throughout, including a 270 g cotton and a 100% combed cotton. Sizes run M to XL. It is a narrower band than the rest of the tee range, so check availability before you settle on one. Wash cold and turn the prints inside out.

Frequently asked questions
What does sand-washed mean?
Finished cotton is tumbled with an abrasive so the surface fibers lift. It softens the hand and slightly clouds the color before you ever wear it.
Will the print crack?
Not if you keep it off heat. Turn it inside out, wash cold, and hang dry. A hot dryer is what breaks a print.
How wide do these run?
Chest at size M spans 116 cm to 116 cm across the one. The sand-washed heavyweight is the widest by a long way.
What sizes are available?
M to XL across the group. It is a narrower band than the rest of the tees, so check the product page.
