Old-school to the core, our Heavyweight T-shirt in an earthy set of colors we call the Desert Pack. Mustard, Stone and Sand. It's a true American icon that will transport you back in all the right ways. Big weight, vintage feel, modern fit. Best of all, it's made in the USA from material to sewing and offered at a value you won't find anywhere else. 
If you've ever stumbled on a thrift store with great vintage t-shirts, you'll notice they tend to have a different feel than a lot of what you see in the t-shirt world today. The weight and the hand have a certain toughness and honesty that sometimes gets lost in more modern examples. As raw denim fans, we've never shied away from the challenge of developing fabric over time. Of earning that softness. This is what drove us to make our new Heavy T-shirt. We wanted to capture the spirit of the tougher t-shirts of earlier days. We think we've done it.
Fabric is the star. We use a burly 18 singles cotton. It's old school. Extra heavy and dense, you feel the substance this t-shirt has the second you touch it. The hand feel is also very different. It starts with a touch of coarseness. You have to earn your comfort like raw denim, but over time it develops into that wonderful blend of weight and suppleness. When you reach that point, just be sure nobody tries to snag it from you because it's special. We switched up the collar construction to a binding style that's set over the body to give it a bit more heft. Fresh colors will help you build out your collection. This is a t-shirt to take pride in.
Please note this garment is dyed in small batches. Color variations are to be expected and can vary in tone or hue from batch to batch.

"Great T's, some of the best shirts I've owned along with the vintage heavyweight T's"
-Leighton K. | Verified Buyer
"Good tshirt it was take a long time to get it.... Thank you"
-Ofer N. | Verified Buyer
"Very high-quality cotton and quick shipping. A heavier, weight fabric, kind of reminds me of a much nicer comfort colors tee with far better stitching. Will definitely be buying more of these and expect for them to become my go to tee moving forward."

What Customers Are Saying
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
"Thank you so much for taking the time to make sure that the pant fits me right. Can't thank you enough. This is what makes Gustin stand a part."
-Lauren C. | Verified Buyer
"About a year ago, a coworker introduced me to Gustin (he rocks some of your pants to the office on the regular) and I have been watching the releases ever since. About three months ago, I finally backed a campaign. Since then, I have been so happy with all the pieces I have received."
