The Barefold Essential Tee — Oversized Acid Washed Black (240 GSM)

We built Barefold around a single conviction — that a great t-shirt needs nothing added to it. No branding. No gimmicks. Just the right fabric, the right cut, and a finish worth wearing.

The Essential Tee is our foundation piece, reimagined with a modern, relaxed silhouette. Rendered in an authentic Acid Washed Black, this vintage-inspired finish delivers a perfectly faded, worn-in character with subtle tonal variations that make every piece unique. Cut from our premium heavyweight cotton jersey, its substantial 240 GSM weight ensures the shirt hangs perfectly off the shoulders, holding its intentional, structural box shape in a way that lighter, flimsy tees simply can’t replicate. It is the kind of staple that only gets better with age and wear.

Fabric & Construction

100% Combed Cotton — Smooth, breathable, and pill-resistant. Combed to remove short fibers for a cleaner, softer hand feel.

Heavyweight Jersey (240 GSM) — Heavy enough to maintain its clean, structural lines and drop-shoulder drape, while remaining comfortable for year-round wear.

Acid Wash Finish — A carefully treated vintage wash that creates a naturally faded black tone with a soft, broken-in feel and distinctive character.

Ribbed Crew Neckline — Thick, reinforced, double-stitched collar that lies flat and retains its shape to anchor the oversized silhouette.

Double-Needle Hem & Sleeve Cuffs — Precision finishing at every edge for maximum durability and a clean, premium profile.

Side Seam Construction — Ensures a structured fall through the wide torso — no twisting, no distortion over time.

Fit & Sizing

Oversized Fit — Intentionally dropped shoulders, a wider chest, and a relaxed, boxy cut through the torso. Designed to create an effortlessly loose look without overwhelming your frame.

Model in images wears size L for an intentional oversized look. Go true to size for the designed relaxed fit, or size down for a closer fit.
