Crisp, shiny new fitted T

Thank you. I've been eyeing a fitted T shirt for a while. Better Basics has provided me exactly what I was looking for. I think I might shop here for more swanky, plain coloured T-shirts. I look forward to more shopping.
Regards

Common questions

No. Both tees sit at 180 GSM — a deliberate choice. Anything lighter felt flimsy and slightly sheer; anything heavier lost that everyday comfort. 180 GSM is the weight where white stays opaque and the fabric stays breathable.

The Regular runs true to size with room across the body — it sits relaxed. The Fitted sits closer to the body, especially across chest and waist. If you're between sizes and prefer a sharper line, stick with your usual size in the Fitted. If you want to layer or prefer ease, the Regular is the safer call. See how real people wear it →

Both. Both fits use a small amount of spandex (5%) which lets the fabric stretch with your movement and snap back to shape. We tested for bagging at the neckline and shoulders — neither does, even after months of wear.

Cold wash, inside out, with similar light colours — never with dark or new bleeding fabrics. Skip fabric softener. Air dry away from direct sunlight (sunlight yellows white fabrics over time). See the full garment care guide →
