The twelve-hour test
Clothes are not a decision.
The last thing that should ask for your attention is a tee.

The fabric thickness, and how it holds its shape through the day and after 20 to 30 washes, is great.

Loved the t-shirt to be honest. Initially I wasn't so sure about it. But it was the second time I wore it that I felt the difference.

We couldn't find a tee that held its structure past noon without trapping heat. So we spent over a year with a Tiruppur mill making one. Every Subtle tee has to clear four filters:
- Above 240 GSM
- Over 90% natural fibre
- Structured, never flimsy
- Special, even as a basic
We set constraints before we set a brief. If a tee cannot clear them, it does not get made.
Rahul and Nikhil, Bangalore
The range, so far
Two tees. Both cleared the bar.
Weight above 240 GSM. 100% cotton. Structured, never flimsy. And it has to look special, even as a basic. Two tees have made it through, the one on this page, and one other.
