Plain Thread Review: The Undyed Organic Tee That Outlasted Our Favorites
Righteous Editors
We washed it forty times. Here is how an undyed, unfinished cotton tee held its shape compared with the shirts already in our drawers.
Plain Thread makes one thing well: a heavyweight organic cotton tee with nothing added. No dye, no softener finish, no wrinkle treatment.
Forty washes later
We washed warm and dried on low every time. The collar stayed flat, the hem did not twist, and the shirt shrank about two percent after the first wash and then stopped.
Who makes it
The tees are cut and sewn in a Los Angeles shop the brand owns outright. They publish their wage floor, which sits above the local garment wage.
