Industry Heavyweight Long Sleeve Tee

The Industry Heavyweight Long Sleeve Tee is cut from 310g jersey cotton and garment-washed, so the broken-in feel is there from day one. The subtle rib texture comes from a knit inspired by old athletic jerseys: enough character to catch the eye, not so much that it gets in the way.

Every reliable wardrobe requires a foundational base layer that delivers uncompromised structure and long-term durability.

Industry Heavyweight Long Sleeve Tee FAQ

How thick does a 310g jersey cotton fabric feel compared to a standard t-shirt?

A standard t-shirt typically weighs between 140g and 180g. At 310g, this fabric is roughly twice as dense and heavy as a traditional tee. This gives it a highly structured, substantial drape that masks lines underneath, resists wind, and feels closer to a lightweight sweatshirt while retaining full cotton breathability.

Will this heavyweight shirt shrink dramatically in the dryer?

Because the entire garment undergoes a professional garment-washing process prior to final stitching, the fabric fibers have already been fully relaxed and pre-shrunk. As long as you follow the care guidelines by washing cold and tumble-drying on a low setting, the classic fit will remain perfectly consistent.

What is the benefit of a straight back yoke on a long-sleeve tee?

Borrowed from traditional tailoring and heritage workwear, the straight back yoke runs horizontally across the shoulders. This seam structure distributes the weight of the heavy 310g fabric evenly across your frame, prevents the shoulders from sagging forward, and allows for a broader range of comfortable movement.

Does the vintage rib texture make the fabric feel rough against the skin?

Not at all. While the athletic-inspired rib pattern adds beautiful visual character and structural depth to the exterior face of the shirt, the interior is incredibly smooth. Combined with the premium garment-wash treatment, it feels exceptionally soft, broken-in, and comfortable against bare skin.
