FAQ
1) What is the best fabric for a t-shirt?
It depends on the use. Cotton is the most versatile — breathable, durable and easy to maintain. Merino wool is stronger for year-round wear: it regulates body temperature, resists odour between washes and holds its shape better than cotton over time. Silk blend elevates the t-shirt into a more considered piece — the drape is cleaner and it sits differently under tailoring. Each fabric has a place. The question is where the t-shirt is being worn.
2) What is the difference between a short sleeve and longsleeve t-shirt for men?
Beyond the obvious sleeve length, the two pieces serve different moments. A short sleeve cotton t-shirt is the foundation of a warm-weather wardrobe — worn alone or under a shirt worn open. A longsleeve t-shirt extends that foundation into cooler months and works as a layering piece under knitwear or a jacket without adding bulk. In merino wool, the longsleeve t-shirt becomes one of the most useful pieces in a considered wardrobe.
3) What is a knitted t-shirt?
A knitted t-shirt uses the construction method of knitwear — the fabric is looped rather than woven — in a t-shirt silhouette. The result is a piece with more texture and structure than a standard jersey tee, without the weight or warmth of a full knit. It sits between casualwear and knitwear and works particularly well as a standalone piece in cooler weather or layered under an open shirt or jacket.
