Basic black tee? Think again. This is Free Market's take on the humble t-shirt—the boxy silhouette that launched a thousand "who makes your shirt?" inquiries at gallery openings.

The proportions here are doing all the heavy lifting—that perfect dropped shoulder creating architectural interest without veering into "I'm drowning in fabric" territory. The slightly cropped length hits that sweet spot where it works equally well with high-waisted everything or layered over longer pieces for that coveted Japanese proportion play.

The cotton is that impossible-to-find substantial weight—dense enough to hold its shape but not so rigid it looks like you're wearing cardboard. None of that tissue-paper nonsense that becomes transparent after one wash. This is grown-up cotton with serious structural integrity.

Available in that perfect light gray that somehow makes every other gray in your wardrobe look slightly off, this is the kind of piece that fashion people buy in multiples and then pretend they just "threw something on" while secretly spending 20 minutes perfecting the half-tuck. Pair with those Free Market Shin wide-legs for peak Tokyo creative director energy, or throw it over vintage Levi's when you're feeling less precious.
