The ringer and the trims of Fred Perry
The ringer is a t-shirt with a collar and sleeves trimmed with a contrasting colour band, a style that emerged in the 1950s and was embraced by rock and then streetwear fashion. Fred Perry, a brand founded in 1952 by the champion British tennis player of the same name, made it one of its classics, featuring t-shirts with double trims and an embroidered laurel crown, inspired by the world of Wimbledon. The Kappa Cafers, slim fit, also features the side bands of the Italian brand.
Weight, fit and fabric
The weight, measured in grams per square metre, indicates the thickness of the cotton: a lightweight t-shirt, around 150 grams, is flowy and fresh in the heat, while a thicker jersey hangs better, distorts less, and lasts longer. The regular fit is straight, the slim fit follows the body, and the oversize fit, with dropped shoulders, like those from Build Your Brand or Merchcode, offers a loose fit. Combed cotton, stripped of its short fibres, is softer and pills less.
American clubs, F1 and jerseys
T-shirts from American franchises, like the New York Yankees from MLB or the New York Knicks from NBA, and the Mercedes Formula 1 team shirt, dressed by adidas since 2025, add a sporty touch to summer outfits. The jersey from Kariban, loose and with a round neck, echoes the work shirts of Breton sailors. Tank tops, like the one from Blaklader, expose the shoulders for the hottest days.
Care and the rest of summer
A t-shirt should be washed inside out, at 30 degrees, to preserve prints and limit cotton shrinkage; it should be dried flat or on a hanger, rather than in the tumble dryer. The summer wardrobe is completed with shorts, shirts, sandals and flip-flops, sunglasses, caps and hats, swimsuits, dresses, bags, available on the summer page.
New arrivals and good deals

Frequently asked questions
What is a ringer t-shirt?
It's a t-shirt with a collar and sleeve edges highlighted with a contrasting colour band. Born in the 1950s, it was adopted by rock and then by streetwear fashion.
What does the weight of a t-shirt mean?
It indicates the fabric weight in grams per square metre. A lightweight t-shirt, around 150 grams, is thin and fresh; over 200 grams, the thick fabric holds its shape better and suits oversize cuts.
How to choose the size of an oversize t-shirt?
Take your usual size: the oversize fit is designed to be loose, with dropped shoulders. Going up a size accentuates the effect, but the t-shirt may appear too long.
T-shirt or tank top in hot weather?
The tank top ventilates the underarms and back better, ideal for sports and the beach. The t-shirt protects the shoulders from the sun, preferable for long days outside.
How to wash a t-shirt without it shrinking?
Wash it at 30 degrees, inside out, and air dry rather than using a tumble dryer, which is the main culprit for cotton shrinkage. Quality combed cotton also moves less in the wash.
