Color: Vintage Black
The Vintage version of René Bassett's signature 300 GSM tee shares the same base construction as the standard model: heavyweight cotton jersey, garment dyed, oversized fit, ultra heavyweight 2x2 ribbed collar, untagged, made in Portugal. The distinction is in the finish. The garment dyeing process produces a more pronounced washed, lived-in color in this version, with the kind of subtle variation and softness that usually comes from years of wear. For brands that want a tee that reads vintage from the moment it's worn, this is the cleaner path than buying a standard tee and trying to age it post-purchase. The result is consistent across runs in a way that distressing treatments typically aren't. Same construction details that make the standard 300 GSM hold up. 100% cotton body, double-needle stitched shoulders, pre-shrunk to 0-3%. Made in Portugal, which brings a different production standard to finishing and dye consistency than most blanks in the heavyweight category.
