Our cotton t-shirt is made from 230gsm heavyweight cotton that is built to hold its shape over time.
To maintain fit and feel:
• Cold machine wash with like colours
• Use mild detergent
• Do not bleach
• Line dry in shade or tumble dry on low
• Cool iron on reverse if needed
• Avoid dry cleaningEach t-shirt is garment dyed, which means the colour may develop subtle variations over time. This is intentional and part of the character of the 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.

Most t-shirts on the market are made from 150 to 180gsm cotton. Ours is 230gsm, which means it is noticeably thicker, heavier, and more durable. The fabric holds its shape, offers full coverage, and drapes without clinging. It has a soft, dry hand feel that sits comfortably against the skin without feeling stiff or overly rigid.
Cut in a relaxed, boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders, designed to sit naturally without the need for tucking or adjustment. The garment-dyed finish gives each piece tonal depth and a worn-in ease rarely found in standard production t-shirts.
Every piece is handcrafted in small batches, designed in Sydney. We keep production limited intentionally so we can maintain quality at every stage. 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
