The Crew
The original. A clean ribbed neckline, dropped just so.
“We started Basics because we were tired of buying a new wardrobe twice a year. A great t‑shirt should outlive the trend it was photographed in.”
— Lina & Otto, founders
We make one shirt. We make it from long‑staple Portuguese cotton at 280 grams per square meter. We cut it in a small atelier in Lisbon. We dye it in small batches in Porto. We ship it in a paper sleeve. When it wears out — and it will, eventually — we’ll take it back and turn it into the next one.
That’s the whole company. There is no second product.
