I’ve been wear-testing countless t-shirts every summer for the last four years, but this one from Flint and Tinder has remained a constant in my rotation. Clocking in at 153 gsm (grams per square meter), the vintage tee is the perfect weight for 80-degree days without feeling cheaply made. I wore it during a warm, sunny day at the park and never felt like it was too thick on my skin. I stayed cool and comfortable the whole time. The cotton-polyester blend was garment-dyed, which gives it vintage vibes like a tee I’ve owned since my college days at Howard University. The difference here, though, is it’s not too thin or see-through. The material feels soft, durable, and hasn’t become dingy after three loads in the washer. You can toss it in the dryer on low heat, but I prefer to let it air dry to prevent piling.
In the hotter months, I pair it with all kinds of shorts, but it also looks great with denim. And it’s not too shabby for the office, either. If you work in a laid-back setting, it looks neat with chinos and minimal sneakers. The classic fit works for most body types, but it’s especially flattering if you’ve been putting in work at the gym on bicep day. It’s cut close in the arms without feeling tight through the chest and falls away from the stomach, which comes in handy if you just crushed a burger. For under 50 bucks, this tee delivers serious value. It comes in a bunch of colors, making it an easy one to stock up on.
