The Benchwarmer Tee is our take on the perfectly oversized, slightly retro T-shirt. Inspired by the easy, boxy tees of the ’90s, it has a relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, and plenty of room to move. It’s comfy, casual, and designed to be the kind of tee you reach for over and over again. Designed for knit fabrics, it can be sewn entirely on an overlocker or with a zigzag stitch on your regular sewing machine.
