Since the dawn of menswear, the cotton t-shirt has been an ever-present garment in our collective wardrobes. Not owning one is like eating a pizza with cutlery, simply unfathomable. It is the glue that holds our wardrobes together, that item we reach for when we're stuck for inspiration. But too often it's also the item we sling on regardless, layered beneath a shirt or knit, hidden from the world's eyes, a mere torso warmer sold in cheap multi-packs.
That's not how we design our t-shirts at Oliver Spencer and certainly not what Oli had in mind when he created the Heavy T-shirt. Constructed from a organic cotton cloth, the moment you try on the heavy tee, you know it's a different species. The weight of the cloth feels substantial, the drape looks elegant and natural. It almost feels more sweatshirt than t-shirt.
