Overview
Built for everyday wear, this tee brings a heritage-inspired fit with a slightly shorter cut that sits just below the waist. It is made entirely in the USA from 100% cotton, with heavyweight 5oz fabric and custom woven MKC labels throughout. The shirt is intended to work well on its own or as a base layer, making it a practical option for time in camp, around town, or under outer layers. Because it is 100% cotton and preshrunk, a small amount of shrinkage after the first wash should be expected.

- Heritage fit is intentionally cut a little shorter and sits just below the waist, so it may not suit anyone looking for a longer hem or more relaxed coverage.
- It is made from 100% cotton, so the listed 2 to 3% shrinkage after the first wash is a factor to account for when choosing size.
- The 5oz heavyweight cotton gives it a more substantial feel, which may be less ideal for those who prefer a lighter tee.
- This is a simple tee by design, so it is best understood as a layer or everyday shirt rather than a feature-heavy technical garment.
