I Love Myself Wave T-Shirt — White Gildan 5000

A white heavyweight t-shirt with a bold cubist face print

This is the I Love Myself Wave tee: a white heavyweight crewneck t-shirt printed with a colourful cubist graphic of two overlapping faces on the chest. It is built on a Gildan 5000 blank, a standard heavyweight unisex style, and printed to order in the Netherlands.

The fabric is 100% cotton in this white colourway. Sizes run from S all the way to 5XL, so there is a fit for most body shapes, and the straight cut works layered or on its own.

At a glance

The piece: a graphic tee on a familiar heavyweight blank

The base of this shirt is the Gildan 5000, one of the most widely used heavyweight t-shirt blanks. It has a classic crewneck shape, short sleeves and a straight body, and it is cut to be unisex, so it sits a little roomier than a typical women's fitted tee.

The print sits on the centre of the chest. It shows two faces split down the middle and layered into each other, painted in a cubist style with blocks of blue, yellow, red, green and brown, and dark outlines that give it a stained-glass feel.

Who it's for

For you if you like a t-shirt with a graphic that stands out without being loud, and you prefer the solid feel of a heavyweight cotton tee over a thin one. It works for anyone who wears tees as their everyday uniform, for art lovers, and for anyone who wants a conversation-starting piece that still goes with most of their wardrobe.

Because it is a unisex cut, it fits differently depending on what you are used to. If you usually wear women's fitted tees, you may want to size down. If you like an oversized look, you can size up. The size table gives exact measurements so you can match it to a tee you already own.

Fabric and feel: heavyweight 100% cotton

This white version is 100% cotton. Heavyweight cotton has more substance than a lightweight tee: it holds its shape better, feels more solid against the skin, and is less likely to show through. It will soften a little with the first few washes, which is normal for cotton tees.

The collar is seamless and double-needle stitched, so it is less likely to stretch out over time.

Fit and size: unisex straight cut, S to 5XL

The cut is straight and unisex, with a regular shoulder line and a body that hangs straight from the chest to the hem. It is not fitted at the waist.

Half chest measures 45.7 cm in size S and goes up to 81 cm in 5XL. Length runs from 71.1 cm to 89 cm. To find your size, lay a t-shirt you like flat, measure it from armpit to armpit and from the top of the shoulder to the hem, and compare it to the table. That is more reliable than guessing from a size label.

Styling: dressed up or down

White goes with almost everything, so this tee is easy to build outfits around. Wear it with jeans and sneakers for a casual day, or tuck it into high-waisted trousers and add a jacket for a more put-together look.

The print is colourful but the base is neutral, so you can pull out one of the colours in your bottoms or accessories: blue jeans, red socks, a yellow bag.

Occasions

Wear it for everyday errands, a day at a museum or gallery, a casual dinner, a concert, or a weekend walk. It is the kind of tee you reach for when you want to be comfortable but still feel like you are wearing something with personality.

It also makes a thoughtful gift for someone who likes art or graphic tees, since the print is unusual and the heavyweight cotton feels substantial.

Care: wash cold, dry low

The supplier recommends washing it in cold water with similar colours to keep the white bright and the print from fading. Tumble dry on a low setting, or hang it to dry if you want to preserve the fabric and the print quality for longer.

As with any printed tee, turning it inside out before washing helps protect the graphic from rubbing against other items in the load.

The wow detail: the print that changes with the light

What makes this tee stand out is the print. From a distance you see two faces; up close you notice the blocks of colour, the sharp lines and the way the two profiles overlap into one image. It is the kind of graphic people will ask you about.
