The texture is knitted in, not printed or embossed, so it survives wash after wash. Pick a knit above and its card lifts here, or read all three side by side.
Deep 3D grid pockets
Waffle
Deep recessed blocks
Heavy, thick, alternating raised square walls and deep hollow valleys that mirror a real breakfast waffle. Distinctly chunky and tactile.
Irregular thick streaks
Slub
Striated texture lines
No geometric grids or squares: a standard flat jersey interrupted by deliberate, uneven horizontal lines and variations in yarn thickness.

The detail.
Built on the same premium mercerised long-staple cotton as our classic crew, this tee brings genuine knit-structure texture to the fabric: a fine piqué for a polo-style surface, a waffle for a honeycomb texture, or a slub for an irregular, vintage-inspired finish. The texture is knitted in, not printed or embossed, so it holds through wash after wash.
At 200 to 220gsm, the fabric carries enough weight to let the texture read clearly. The ribbed collar is toned to complement the body fabric, taped at the shoulder for durability, with side-seamed construction and double-stitched hems throughout.
A tee with more depth and tactility than a standard jersey crew, without losing the softness of mercerised cotton.
