Why 290gsm Cotton, Mercerised Cotton, and Expert Craftsmanship Matter
At TSHEPO, quality isn’t limited to denim. It’s woven into everything we create. While we’re known for premium craftsmanship in jeans, that same level of detail and intention is carried through to every product—whether it’s a T-shirt, a polo, or anything in between.
True quality is felt before it’s seen. It’s in the weight of the fabric, the way it drapes, how it holds its shape wash after wash. It’s in the craftsmanship — the precision of every seam, the way a garment fits not just your body, but your life.
290gsm Cotton: Structure. Durability. Comfort.
290gsm isn’t just a number on a label — it’s a promise.
Most standard T-shirts fall between 160-180gsm, meaning they’re lighter, stretch out over time, and lose their shape after a few washes. TSHEPO’s 290gsm T-shirts are crafted with almost twice the weight, giving them:
✅ Shape Retention – No flimsy fabric that clings or warps.
✅ Soft & Breathable Feel – Plush, but never stifling.
✅ Durability – Built for daily wear, year after year.
It’s not heavy — it’s balanced. A 290gsm T-shirt offers the perfect drape, a substantial feel against the skin, and resistance to stretching, making it a wardrobe staple that looks as good on day 100 as it does on day one.
Mercerised Cotton: The Luxe Touch Behind Our Knitted Polos
A TSHEPO Polo isn’t just about looking good — it’s about feeling the difference.
Unlike standard cotton, mercerised cotton undergoes a specialised treatment that strengthens the fibres, giving them a smooth, lustrous finish. The result? A polo that feels as premium as it looks.
Why It Matters:
✅ Long-Lasting Colour – Rich, deep hues that resist fading.
✅ Silky, Cool Feel – Lightweight yet structured, with a smooth texture.
✅ Refined & Elevated – A subtle sheen that adds an extra layer of sophistication.
Our knitted polos strike the perfect balance between structure and comfort, blending heritage craftsmanship with a modern edge. Whether you’re dressing up or keeping it casual, this is a staple that does it all.
Beyond Fabric – Why Craftsmanship Matters
Luxury isn’t just about fabric weight or finish — it’s about attention to detail.
At TSHEPO, every seam is placed with precision. Every stitch is intentional. Every garment is built to last. The difference? You won’t notice the craftsmanship — because it’s designed to be flawless. No loose threads. No cheap stitching. No shortcuts. Fabric that ages beautifully, not deteriorates. Garments designed to stay in your rotation, not the back of your cupboard.
Experience It for Yourself
From the weight of our 290gsm cotton tees to the refinement of our mercerised polos, every TSHEPO piece is crafted to look good, feel incredible, and last for years.
