When we first opened, we often touted ourselves as a heavyweight specialty store, as there were relatively few T-shirts of that type in Hong Kong at the time. Many customers simply wanted a thick, structured feel. Later, we gradually discovered that it was actually harder to find lightweight, high-quality shirts.
Hong Kong summers are notoriously hot, and everyone needs a few lightweight T-shirts in their wardrobe. Therefore, this time we're introducing five (light to medium weight) T-shirts we recommend for this season. Different cuts, fabric thicknesses, and price points make it easier for you to choose.

① “ Ladywhite Athens Tee ”
Highest level of tailoring and comfort
Lady White Co.'s T-shirts feature clean lines and high-quality materials. The Athens Tee is LWC's lightest and thinnest collection, a breathable, lightweight cotton jersey that is smooth and soft. It has a slightly boxy fit with a slightly dropped shoulder and a relaxed drape.
Made with 30/1 yarn count. 100% cotton, 5 oz weight. While lightweight, it boasts a delicate and durable construction with a unique split seam structure and a tight, even stitch pattern. Manufactured in the Los Angeles factory and pre-washed to minimize shrinkage. 
(Reinforced Butterflied Seam Construction)
(For maximum comfort, use the label-free option)
It's worth mentioning that for the best maintenance results, please wash it from the inside out with cold water, and then lay it flat to air dry. 
(Or use a similar device; it can also be used on thinner T-shirts or knitted sweaters.)

② " Camber Finest Tee "
Pursuit of robustness and durability
Camber is one of the world's greatest sportswear legends, dedicated for decades to creating the finest garments on the planet, renowned for their superior craftsmanship and durability, resulting in ever-increasing demand. Our regular customers know that all Camber products are available in very limited quantities.
The newly introduced Finest Tee is made of 6 oz cotton fabric, which is comfortable and more suitable for everyday wear in Hong Kong's year-round weather than the original Max-Weight Tee's 8 oz material. 
The neckline features a sturdy double-stitching crew-neck, 3" Rib / 3% lycra (I'll share more about different neckline designs in the future).

③ “ Comfort Color S/S Pigment Dye T-Shirt “
Pigment dyed washing and dyeing process
Made with 6.1oz American cotton fabric, pigment-dyed, and featuring a seamless, slightly oversized, cylindrical cut. The manufacturing process utilizes ring spinning, resulting in finer yarns and softer garments.
By the way, the last reels post about the "Crop T-Shirt" used "Comfort colour" because the original cut was on the longer side (based on the average height of Hong Kong men) and the texture was also just right.

④ " TRUSS Organic Cotton T-Shirt "
Made from 100% organic cotton
There hasn't been an official introduction yet. The Japanese brand TRUSS emphasizes comfort, quality, and a natural feel that integrates into everyday life . The TRUSS Organic Cotton T-Shirt, introduced this year, is made from 100% organic cotton, making it not only environmentally friendly but also providing an exceptional wearing experience.
The natural color is made entirely of cotton thread, weighs 5.3 oz (180 g), has a moderate thickness, uses 24-count yarn, and employs a jacquard weave to provide excellent breathability and comfort. 
The neckline is double-stitched, ensuring it won't easily deform even after multiple wears, showcasing its durability. Besides the main fabric, even the neck label is made of organic cotton, reflecting an environmentally conscious approach in every detail.
The fit is boxy cutting, which is loose and short, making it a great value option.

⑤ “ DOWN ON THE CORNER Hemp Cotton S/S Tee “
Linen x Organic Cotton 
The lightweight and breathable material is primarily made from 80% Organic Cotton and 20% Hemp, a new type of hemp yarn that is soft and slightly dry. Considering the environment and humid climates, its concept extends beyond being "eco-friendly" and comfortable to ensure durability. The texture offers a more relaxed feel than cotton, making it the perfect holiday pick! 
(The fit is Relaxed Fit, so the shirt body and neckline will be relatively loose.)
California is a place that blends skateboarding, surfing, rock and roll, and new generation culture, and it continues to evolve. DOWN ON THE CORNER was born on a street corner in Los Angeles in 1996, embodying alternative ideas, values, and a premonition of something new about to be born. Jack Kerouac's "On the Road" represents travel, encounters, farewells, and growth, while its predecessors depicted a free lifestyle, humor, and an unyielding passion.
("It all started when we jumped into the caravan.")
Made in Japan
