The signature blend fabric is thinner than I anticipated. Why are your signature shirts so lightweight and what are some alternatives I can choose?

Our Signature Blend garments are ethically sourced, and custom cut & sewn in the USA exclusively for Solid Threads. We use a lighter weight 4.2 oz, 40 thread count, combed ring spun cotton/poly fabric, because we feel it provides a high quality, worn-in fit and feel from the get go complementing the vintage inspired aesthetic of our brand.

We recognize that if you were expecting a thicker, heavier weight fabric, there’s the potential for us to let you down. However I can assure you that due to the tight weave of our fabric, our garments hold up for hundreds of washes. The signature blend only gets more uniformly and delectably soft with age without the stiffness and twisting of heavier weight, lower quality fabrics.

All that being said, if the signature blend is not for you, we hear you. We have been adding different fabric types to offer something to all t-shirt aficionados. Our Organic tees are made of a 100% cotton midweight fabric. We also offer a Staple fit, which is a slightly heavier weight fabric than our Signature Blend, along with a Vintage Wash fit, which is a very robust heavyweight fabric. The order from lightest to heaviest goes something like this:

Signature Blend (lightest) < Staple Fit < Organic Cotton < Vintage Wash (heaviest)

With that said, our shirts are not for everyone, so if you feel that our offerings do not live up to your expectations, we happily offer free returns and exchanges.
