Why The Blend Is The Point
100% cotton isn't always the answer, and neither is a technical blend. Here's how we decide what goes into the yarn before it goes into the shirt.

Ask which fabric is "the best" and you're asking the wrong question. The Classic Loose Boxy Tee is 100% cotton for a reason. The Premium Contrast Polo is 73.31% cotton and 26.69% Sorona for a different one. Neither is a compromise — each blend is chosen against a specific job the garment has to do.
Cotton, Alone, When Character Matters
Our boxy tees — the Classic Loose Boxy Tee, the Inhale/Exhale Boxy Tee, the cotton shell of the fleece pieces — lean on 100% cotton where we want the fabric to age. Cotton takes a garment-dye and a soft-wash better than synthetic fiber ever will; it's what gives a shirt that lived-in hand-feel on day one instead of after twenty washes. When the goal is character, not performance, cotton wins on its own.
Blending In What Cotton Can't Do
Where a garment needs to do something cotton structurally can't, we blend. The Premium Tank Top runs 93.2% cotton and 6.8% spandex — just enough elastane to let a bodycon silhouette move with you without cotton's natural give giving out. The Vintage Fleece Hoodie mixes 42% cotton, 53% polyester, and 5% other fiber specifically for the fleece-back structure: cotton for the outer hand-feel, polyester for the loft and recovery that keep a heavyweight hoodie from stretching out at the cuffs.
The Contrast Polo's Sorona blend is a quieter choice with a bigger story: Sorona is a corn-sugar-derived polymer, which means a piece that still performs like a technical polo — moisture movement, shape retention — without leaning entirely on petroleum-based synthetic. It's the closest thing in our current range to a blend chosen as much for what it isn't as for what it is.
The Jersey Is The Exception That Proves The Rule
The Soccer Jersey is our one 100% polyester piece, and that's also deliberate — at 4.4 oz., a jersey has one job: move heat off the body fast during a match. Cotton would just get heavy and wet. Sometimes the honest answer is the technical one.
Every blend on our line is a paragraph like this one, not a marketing line. If we can't tell you why a fiber is in a garment, it doesn't go in.
