Valentine's Day is almost here, still wondering what to get your significant other? A decent, wearable T-shirt would be a great choice! How to choose? Start by considering your boyfriend's style! Here are some brands we recommend:
① City Boy Style: Loose-fitting American-made heavyweight T-shirt
For boyfriends who prefer street/casual wear, we recommend the best-selling American brand, "Heavyweight Collection".
Located in a seaside town in Southern California, between Los Angeles and San Diego, the brand is committed to heavyweight fashion, embodying the spirit of "Made in USA & Build To Last!" The silhouettes are relaxed yet not overly long, falling into the "boxy cut" category. The brand's custom-made fabrics provide a heavyweight yet soft and comfy wearing experience.
The T-shirt is known for its durable, thick cotton fabric, softness, and long-lasting colorfastness. Made with premium 7.5 oz heavyweight American cotton, a custom-made fabric from the brand, it is manufactured to the highest standards in its Southern California factory and undergoes a shrink-proof treatment. The neckline is also sturdy and durable, resistant to deformation.
Currently, both online stores and physical stores offer long and short neck options:
“ HW Heavyweight Cotton Classic S/S T-Shirt ”
Made in USA / HKD $450
“ HW Heavyweight Cotton Classic L/S T-Shirt ”
Made in USA / HKD $520
② Men's Wear Style: Simple and elegant T-shirts
If your boyfriend prefers a more refined/menswear-oriented style, the German brand " Merz b. Schwanen " would be a great choice! Merz b. Schwanen is a high-end brand that uses high-quality cotton, is made in Germany, and employs the "Loop-wheeler" slow-knitting machine. Today, only garment factories in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, and this century-old German brand still use this antique knitting machine for seamless, slow-knitting.
The popularity of the "215" style, worn by Jeremy, the male lead in the American TV series "The Bear," has led to a surge in customers searching for it. Rumors of shortages in Japan, South Korea, and other Asian regions have made this brand's T-shirt extremely difficult to find recently.
“ Merz B Loopwheeled S/S Henley Tee ”
This Henley Neck Tee is made from 100% organic cotton (8.6 oz) using a ring-spun knitting method, featuring the signature triangular patchwork at the armpits. The natural fabric provides the best feel against the skin, offering comfort and durability. The cut is a classic Relaxed Fit, suitable for a variety of garments.

“ Merz b 1950s Loopwheel Original L/S Tee shirt ”
The 1950s series is the brand's most classic style.
Simple yet meticulously detailed, it strives to maximize comfort.
Free from any industrial pre-wash/chemical additives; featuring the signature triangular patchwork underarms, creating a seamless, high-quality crew neck T-shirt.

③ Versatile type: Classic Regular Fit White T-shirt
For boyfriends who aren't particularly particular about clothing style, we recommend the Japanese brand - armi.
With environmental issues gaining increasing importance, armi is a brand that champions the concept of "Eco-Friendly." From packaging to the selection of fabrics, they use only the most natural resources that minimize pollution to the earth, such as organic cotton and merino wool. Beyond materials, each collection also features subtle sewing techniques and details, and all are ALL Made in Japan! Maintaining high quality and durability in their T-shirts reflects the brand's philosophy, enriching the wearer's life. The "-HARDMAN" series of heavyweight T-shirts is particularly popular.
“ ARMI “HARD MAN” Heavyweight Tee ”
The manufacturing process uses an old-fashioned hanging knitting machine from Wakayama for slow production. The seamless cylindrical cut is a Regular Fit, and the production time is dozens of times longer than that of ordinary manufacturing. The 10 oz. of fabric is made to have a soft and mature texture, and it is also very tough and has strong tensile strength.
Double-sided weave with different thread counts on the inside and outside (30% inside, 20% outside), the inside is soft and the outside is dry, with excellent sweat absorption and quick-drying properties.
