The men's navy blue T-shirt, an undershirt that became a piece
The T-shirt starts its career under the uniform: in 1913, the US Navy issued it to sailors as an undershirt; on chores or in the tropics, they took off their jumper and worked in the T-shirt, before veterans wore it on its own after the Second World War. Its cloth, jersey, takes its name from the island of Jersey, where fishermen's underwear was knitted. This men's navy T-shirt keeps that utilitarian spirit: a thick knit, a solid collar, and a midnight blue that is worn alone or under a jacket.
- Material: 100% cotton, jersey
- Origin: made in Portugal
- Detail: heavy cotton, 240 g/m²
- Detail: triple-thickness ribbed collar
- Detail: sharp fitted cut
Cut and sizing
Slightly fitted cut, with a shape that follows the shoulders and a straight drop, without excess volume. From XS to XXL. Take your usual size; the size chart and the size guide help you decide.
How to wear a men's navy T-shirt
On its own, with brown corduroy trousers or a beige chino. Under an open OG-107 overshirt, the navy calms the khaki. Under a work jacket, in the workshop as in town. With navy cargo trousers, two blues of different depth.
Care
Machine washable at home: 30 °C (86 °F) inside out, short cycle, mild detergent with no bleaching agent, and separately the first few times, because dyed cotton bleeds slightly. No tumble dryer and no fabric softener. Air dry in the shade; iron at medium heat, on the reverse.
A triple-thickness ribbed collar
The collar is the first place a T-shirt wears out. Here it is finished with a rib binding: the rib sits over the jersey and forms a triple thickness, topstitched with a double needle in a close cover stitch. The collar stays nicely rounded, does not stretch and keeps its shape through washing. At the back, the binding draws a rounded yoke, visible when laid flat.
Patina and durability
In three years, this navy T-shirt won't have lost its collar.
In 1913, the US Navy issued the T-shirt to its sailors as an undershirt; after the war, veterans wore it on its own. Ours keeps that utilitarian spirit: a 240 g/m² cotton jersey and a triple-thickness collar, made to keep its shape. Here is how it holds.
-
firm material, solid color, clean finishes.
-
the piece softens where it works the most.
-
wear creases mark themselves and return from one wear to the next.
-
follow the composition instructions; excessive heat and tumble dryers are to be avoided.
-
borders and friction zones soften first.
-
the color shades with use, without aging all at once.
-
the piece is made: supple, familiar, always holding.
-
a seam, a button, a snag is mended in the workshop.
-
nearly three years: a well-kept piece gains in character what it loses in newness.
Navy is the T-shirt that goes anywhere: under a work jacket, with a chino, at the weekend. A €29 T-shirt that doesn't lose shape is cheaper over three years than three T-shirts that give up. The maths is quick.
A flat-seamed shoulder-blade yoke
At the top of the back, a yoke covers the shoulder blades. It is assembled in a flat seam, to create no thickness against the skin and avoid irritation, and it helps the T-shirt hold on the shoulders. At the sleeves, the cover stitch is more open, to let the knit follow the arm.
Circular-knitted, four-thread overlocked
The jersey weighs 240 g/m²: dense enough to be opaque and hold its shape. It is circular-knitted in Portugal, then all the seams are four-thread overlocked with a chain stitch, which stops them twisting in the wash. The T-shirt is pre-washed before sale: it arrives with a soft hand, already a little lived-in, and shrinkage is limited.
