About this tee

A little more weight. A little less hurry.

The Essential Tee is a heavyweight organic cotton T-shirt with a relaxed fit and an almost sueded hand feel, the kind usually found in luxury labels. Substantial yet refined.

Every tee is garment dyed, so each one carries its own character and patina. Our warm off-white KIRAKI wordmark is flat-embroidered on the upper-center chest, three inches across. The back stays clean. One considered signature. Nothing more.

For slow mornings, afternoons out, and the hours that belong entirely to you.

endless sunday.
