The Flat Head’s Heavyweight Plain Tees are something of a grail piece for many. They’re knit from 100% long-staple cotton—super soft yet exceptionally hard-wearing. The fit is classically slim, slightly boxy, and free of clinginess.
A true wardrobe staple, these tees are built like tanks and only improve with age as their rich texture emerges over time. A triple-stitched, ribbed collar ensures a no-sag finish—even after heavy, extended wear. The craftsmanship and durability put their cost per wear in the pennies.
