Goodfellow Black Crew Neck Tee
We designed this crew neck tee to be the foundation of your everyday wardrobe. Cut from 100% ring-spun cotton jersey, it offers the perfect weight for year-round wear — substantial enough to hold its shape, light enough to layer under a jacket or wear on its own. The classic fit sits comfortably at the hip with a timeless crew neckline that doesn't sag or stretch out after repeated wear.
Our black crew neck tee features reinforced double-needle stitching at the collar, sleeves, and hem to withstand hundreds of washes. The pre-shrunk fabric means the size you order is the size you keep. Whether you're building a capsule wardrobe or replacing a worn favorite, this tee delivers reliable comfort and clean style every time you reach for it.
Fabric & construction details
Fabric & Fit
We source 100% ring-spun cotton for every Goodfellow black tee because it delivers the right balance of durability and softness. Ring-spun cotton is twisted and refined to create longer, finer fibers than standard cotton, which means a smoother hand feel and less pilling over time. The jersey knit construction has just enough stretch to move with you without losing its shape.
The regular fit is cut to sit close to the body without clinging. Shoulders are measured to align naturally with your frame, and the torso provides room through the chest and waist for comfortable movement. Sleeves hit mid-bicep for a traditional tee silhouette. If you prefer a roomier cut, size up one; if you want a closer fit, stay true to size.
Construction & Durability
Reinforced double-needle stitching runs along every seam — collar, sleeves, and hem. This construction method uses two parallel rows of thread to lock each seam in place, reducing the chance of unraveling or fraying even after heavy use. The ribbed crew neckline is cross-stitched at the shoulder seams to prevent stretching when you pull the tee over your head.
We pre-shrink the fabric during manufacturing so your tee maintains its dimensions through countless wash cycles. The heat-transfer label inside the collar eliminates the scratchy tag entirely, and the side seams are taped to prevent twisting in the wash. Every detail is engineered to outlast fast-fashion alternatives.
Care Instructions
Machine wash your Goodfellow black tee in cold water with like colors to preserve the deep black tone. We recommend turning the tee inside out before washing to reduce friction on the outer surface. Use a standard liquid detergent — avoid bleach or fabric softeners, which can break down cotton fibers over time.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry to extend the life of the fabric. High heat can cause slight shrinkage even in pre-shrunk cotton, so keep the dryer setting moderate. If you prefer a crisp look, iron on medium heat while the tee is still slightly damp. The cotton jersey responds well to steam if you need to remove wrinkles quickly.
