THE T-SHIRT GUIDE 

At SANVT we have redefined the classic T-Shirt with one guiding philosophy: perfection in the details. From fabric density to stitch count and fabric origin, we obsess over every element so you don’t have to.

Our T-Shirt guide breaks down the technical DNA of each style, helping you find the one (or more) that perfectly match your lifestyle. Each T-shirt differs in weight—160 GSM (lightweight), 185 GSM (standard), and 235 GSM (heavyweight)—with GSM standing for grams per square metre, a measure of fabric density.

The Perfect T-Shirt

Our signature T-shirt.
Crafted from 100 percent extra-long staple (ELS) cotton and weighing 185 GSM, The Perfect T-Shirt is designed for all season wear. Incredibly soft, highly durable, and thought to the last detail, this is the T-shirt you’ll reach for again and again.

  • EXTRA SOFT

    Extra fine and specially cleaned yarns make this garment so inimitably soft. By removing impurities and straightening its fibres during the production process, we ensure the fabric is not just significantly softer, but also more durable than conventional materials.

  • ELS COTTON

    This garment is crafted from the pure single source extra-long staple (ELS) cotton. Representing less than 1% of the global cotton production, the fibers of our ELS cotton are twice as strong as conventional varieties.

The Lightweight T-Shirt

Minimal weight for maximum performance.
Crafted from a blend of 67% Lyocell and 33% Cotton at just 160 GSM, this t-shirt is our most breathable and technical piece. Lyocell offers moisture-wicking, antibacterial properties and a silk-like texture. Ideal for summer, sports, or layering.

The Heavyweight T-Shirt

Made from 100% organic cotton and weighing 235 GSM, this is the most robust shirt in our collection. Ideal for cooler seasons or a more structured silhouette, the Heavyweight T-Shirt is dense, durable, and finely knit using yarn spun in Italy. The bound neckline features a twin-needle stitch, meticulously tailored by Portuguese artisans, ensuring the collar retains its shape wash after wash.

The V-Neck T-Shirt

Minimalist with a modern edge.
A refined take on the classic V-neck, crafted from the same 185 GSM extra long staple cotton as our Perfect T-Shirt. The collar is precisely constructed for subtlety and durability with no warping and no overexposure.

The Longsleeve T-Shirt

Seasonless utility.
Made from the same 235 GSM organic cotton as our Heavyweight T-Shirt, this style extends comfort with full-length sleeves. Ideal for colder days or layered looks, it delivers thermal performance with a clean, minimal aesthetic.
