Goodfellow White Crew Neck Tee
We built our white crew neck tee to be the foundation of your everyday wardrobe. Cut from 100% combed cotton with a midweight hand, this tee delivers softness without sacrificing structure. The crew neckline sits just below the collarbone, and our classic fit provides room through the chest and shoulders without excess fabric at the waist.
Reinforced double-needle stitching at the shoulders, sleeves, and hem means this tee holds its shape through repeated washing. We use pre-shrunk fabric so the fit you try on is the fit you keep. Whether you're layering under a button-down or wearing it solo on weekends, our Goodfellow white tees anchor your rotation with reliable comfort.
Construction & fit details
Fabric and construction
We start with combed cotton, which removes short fibers during processing to create a smoother, stronger yarn. This extra step results in a tee that feels softer against your skin and resists pilling through hundreds of washes. The midweight 5.3 oz fabric strikes a balance between breathability and opacity — substantial enough to wear on its own without showing undershirts, light enough to layer comfortably.
Double-needle stitching reinforces every seam, from the shoulder tape to the sleeve hems. Side-seamed construction means the body panels are sewn together rather than tubular-cut, which prevents the tee from twisting around your torso as you move. The ribbed crew collar maintains its shape without stretching out, and we use a tag-free printed label so there’s nothing to cut out or irritate your neck.
Sizing and fit
Our classic fit provides a relaxed silhouette through the chest and shoulders with a gently tapered waist. The sleeves hit mid-bicep, and the body length covers your belt line without excessive drop. We pre-shrink the fabric before cutting, so the tee you receive maintains its dimensions after the first wash.
Size chart reference
Small fits chest 34-36 inches, Medium 38-40 inches, Large 42-44 inches, XL 46-48 inches, 2XL 50-52 inches, and 3XL 54-56 inches. If you prefer a closer fit, size down; if you want extra room for layering or a relaxed drape, size up. The combed cotton has minimal stretch, so the measurements stay true across wears.
Care instructions
Machine wash cold with like colors to preserve the white’s brightness. We recommend turning the tee inside out before washing to protect the outer surface from abrasion. Use a mild detergent without bleach — oxygen-based cleaners work best for keeping whites crisp without degrading the cotton fibers.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to extend the fabric’s lifespan. High heat can weaken cotton over time, so we always pull our tees from the dryer while still slightly damp and let them finish air-drying. If you iron, use a medium setting and iron the tee inside out to avoid shine on the fabric surface. With proper care, this tee maintains its shape and softness through years of regular wear.
