How We Choose Fabric

Weight You Can Feel.

Most streetwear is cut from 180gsm jersey. This line starts at 200gsm and runs to 530gsm, a pure cotton dense enough that you feel it the moment you put it on. Heavy fabric holds a silhouette, and holding a silhouette is what separates a garment from a t-shirt.

Two families carry the collection. Pure cotton, combed and garment-dyed, from the 260gsm tee through 400gsm mineral-washed cotton to the 530gsm hoodie and sweatpant. And cotton-blend fleece, from 350gsm through the 390gsm vintage-wash capsule up to a 500gsm short. Performance pieces use a nylon or polyester stretch knit, because compression needs a different fibre.

Every weight and every fibre content is printed on the product page. If it is not listed there, we do not claim it.

A garment is only as quiet as the fabric it is cut from.
