A Heavier Cotton Tee With a Soft, Lived-In Look

The Silent Theory Acid Essential Fit Tee takes the easy comfort of our popular Essential Fit Tee and gives it a faded acid wash finish. Made from 100% cotton in a solid 250gsm weight, it has a relaxed fit, a classic crew neck and a soft, broken-in feel from the very first wear. It's the kind of tee that works on its own on warm days or layered under an overshirt when the evenings cool down.

FAQ

What does acid wash mean?
Acid wash is a finishing process that fades the cotton for a mottled, worn-in look. It also softens the fabric, so the tee feels comfortable from the first wear.

Is the Acid Essential Fit Tee true to size?
It has a relaxed fit. Take your usual size for a comfortable, roomy look, or size down if you prefer a neater fit.

Is 250gsm cotton too heavy for summer?
Not at all. It's a solid, quality weight that feels substantial without being hot, and the 100% cotton stays breathable on warm days.

How is it different from the Silent Theory Essential Fit Tee?
It has the same relaxed fit and comfortable cotton feel, with an acid wash finish that gives it a faded, lived-in look.

Can I get help with sizing?
Yes. We're happy to help with sizing advice online, by phone or in-store at Stewart's Menswear in Mullumbimby.
