The Reigning Champ Fadeaway T-Shirt is a premium garment designed, constructed and dyed with a seasonal spin to make it a much-loved style right off the bat. The shirt is constructed out of midweight jersey at 235 GSM to make it heavier than traditional cotton and is dyed with a specific wash that mimics the appearance of a sun-faded finish right off the bat. The shirts will thus look and feel like they've been worn for years upon being purchased to maximize their coziness, while also helping the end consumer to skip lengthy wear to achieve a laid-back look.
The Reigning Champ Fadeaway T-Shirt comes in four color options and responds to the popularity of retro styles and clothing as consumers embrace rusticity.
