- Free express shipping AU

- Designed in Sydney
Crafted from heavyweight fabrics built to hold their shape, designed to be worn together or apart.
The t-shirt is cut from 230gsm pure cotton in a relaxed, boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders. The fabric has a soft, dry hand feel that sits against the skin without clinging. Embroidered detailing sits at the front and back, refined and deliberate.
The shorts are made from a 330gsm cotton blend with a soft brushed fleece interior. The relaxed fit features an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawcord that can be worn exposed or tucked for a cleaner finish. Side pockets sit flat and deep, and embroidered branding at the centre front keeps the design clean.
Both pieces are garment dyed in custom-developed colours exclusive to our collection, giving the fabric tonal depth and a worn-in ease from the first wear. The colour will continue to develop subtle character over time.
Each piece is handcrafted individually, resulting in slight variations of 1–2cm between garments - a hallmark of the handmade process, not a defect.
Fit Guide
Both pieces are designed for a relaxed fit. The t-shirt has a boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders. The shorts sit at a comfortable length with an elasticated waistband. If you prefer a closer fit on the t-shirt, consider sizing down. If you prefer a tighter feel through the leg on the shorts, consider sizing down.

Cotton Care
Our t-shirt is made from 230gsm heavyweight cotton. Our shorts are made from a 330gsm blend of 70% cotton and 30% polyester with a soft brushed fleece interior. To care for both pieces:
Cold machine wash with like colours Use mild detergent Do not bleach Line dry in shade or tumble dry on low heat Cool iron on reverse if needed Avoid dry cleaning
Both pieces are garment dyed, which means the colour may develop subtle variations over time. This is intentional and part of the character of each garment. Washing cold and drying gently will help preserve the colour and shape for longer.
Some minor shrinkage may occur if exposed to high heat. We recommend avoiding hot washes and high heat tumble drying.
As each piece is handcrafted individually rather than mass-produced, slight variations of 1–2cm in measurements between garments are normal and reflect the handmade process.

Why Choose Our Cotton Set
The t-shirt is made from 230gsm cotton, noticeably thicker and more durable than the 150 to 180gsm cotton used by most brands. It holds its shape wash after wash without losing form, and has a soft, dry hand feel that sits comfortably against the skin while remaining breathable in heat.
The shorts are made from a 330gsm cotton blend with a brushed fleece interior, significantly heavier and more substantial than the standard fleece shorts you will find at most retailers. The polyester content means they hold their shape through repeated wears without stretching out, sagging, or pilling.
Every piece is handcrafted in small batches by a trusted manufacturing partner we work with directly, designed in Sydney. We intentionally keep runs limited, which means better quality control and a product that remains exclusive. Because each garment is made by hand rather than on a mass-production line, slight variations of 1–2cm in measurements are inherent to every piece, a hallmark of genuine handmade construction.
Both pieces are garment dyed in custom-developed colours exclusive to our collection, giving them tonal depth and a worn-in ease from the first wear that sets them apart from standard basics.
