The $30 tee
150GSM
Around 140 to 160 GSM. Feels fine in the shop. Then the collar goes wavy, the side seams twist, and those little holes show up near the hem. You can read a menu through it by summer.
Maybe don't say it. Wear it.
Premium streetwear.
Why XXI exists
Somebody said something slightly unhinged.
Everybody screenshotted it.
Somebody else said, that should be a shirt.
Unfortunately, we took that seriously.
The problem was every shirt we owned. The premium ones went see-through by the third wash. The graphic ones sounded like a fridge magnet wrote them.
So we made the one we wanted. Heavy enough to outlast the group chat drama. Blunt enough to be worth wearing. Said once, on the back, and never reprinted.

We grew up on
Great expectations.
Unsolicited career advice.
The family group chat.
Opinions we kept to ourselves.
So we put them on T-shirts instead.
The cotton
That's the business model. Thin fabric, low price, new one in six months. We went the other way: 300 and 400 GSM, 100% cotton, cut oversized and boxy. Here's what that number actually means.
The $30 tee
150GSM
Around 140 to 160 GSM. Feels fine in the shop. Then the collar goes wavy, the side seams twist, and those little holes show up near the hem. You can read a menu through it by summer.
XXI 300
300GSM
Twice the cotton. Structured, holds a boxy line through the shoulder, breathes enough for a Australian summer. The everyday heavyweight. If you're unsure, this one.
XXI 400
400GSM
Dense, matte, and sits off the body like it was built, not sewn. Closer to a light sweatshirt than a tee. For when the tee is the whole outfit.
Grams per square metre. It's how much cotton you're actually getting. Higher number, denser fabric, heavier tee.
Dense fabric is opaque. White stays white, not whatever you're wearing under it.
Heavier jersey resists the stretching, twisting and thinning that finish off a light tee. The boxy cut stays boxy.
Weight is what makes an oversized tee drape instead of cling. It's the difference between oversized and just too big.

Seven designs, sealed. Before doors open, the Group Chat votes one of them out of existence. Right now, 005 isn't looking good.
