T-SHIRTS

The T-shirt is one of the most enduring wardrobe staples. From its early days as undergarment and workwear in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it has evolved into a canvas for style, identity, and craftsmanship. At HepCat, we celebrate T-shirts that honor this history - pieces built with care, quality, and attention to detail. Many of our selections are loopwheeled T-shirts, made on vintage circular knitting machines that produce fabric without side seams. The result is a tee that fits naturally, moves with you, and ages beautifully over time.

You may have seen loopwheeled T-shirts featured on screen, like the iconic Merz b. Schwanen 215 tee worn by Jeremy Allen White in The Bear. That spotlight reflects what we’ve known all along: the best basics deserve the same attention as any statement piece in your wardrobe.

Our collection spans some of the most respected brands in the world of quality T-shirts:

• Sunray Sportswear – Japanese-made loopwheeled cotton tees with a soft, natural drape.
• Allevol - London-founded lifestyle brand crafting vintage-inspired everyday wear with Japanese-spun yarns.
• Good On - Classic American-style T-shirts made in Japan, featuring pigment-dyed colors and tubular construction for ultimate comfort.
• The Flat Head - Heavyweight loopwheeled T-shirts with a vintage Americana character, crafted in Japan.
• Freenote Cloth - American craftsmanship with a focus on denim, rugged shirts, and western-inspired T-shirts made to last.

Within our collection, you’ll find a variety of styles to suit every wardrobe: short-sleeve crewnecks, long-sleeve staples, Henleys, graphic tees or simply a good and warm waffle knit sweatshirt. Pigment-dyed, plain, or with subtle prints, each piece is designed to layer, wear, and live in.

Whether you’re drawn to the vintage feel of a Good On T-shirt, the heritage-inspired construction of Freenote Cloth, or the textured quality of Japanese loopwheeled tees, our selection is rooted in craftsmanship, longevity, and understated style. Every T-shirt tells a story, and the best ones get better with every wear - fading, softening, and shaping uniquely to you.

At HepCat, we curate T-shirts for those who appreciate quality, history, and detail. From everyday basics to standout pieces, these are the tees that earn a place in your wardrobe.
