Men’s undershirts today deserve our special attention. Obviously, this garment is worn less than underwear, but it is just as essential, especially once you get used to it. And there are many types of undershirts out there made of many different materials. At ZD you’ll find the best quality undershirts that fit you the best. They are all crafted artisanally using sustainable production methods.

Depending on the material you choose — whether Egyptian cotton, Mercerized cotton or Soya yarn — certain properties will be more heavily featured than others.

Egyptian cotton is known all over the world for being a superior, high-quality material. Additionally, since our fabric is long staple, it is especially luxurious: it’s absorbent, fresh and lightweight. Because they also have lycra, our undershirts perfectly adapt to your body, as if they were a part of it, without moving or becoming misshapen and they offer excellent durability.

Mercerized Cotton is double mercerised 100% cotton. It is the most exclusive garment in our collection, designed for those purists who shun any fabric that’s not cotton. Mercerising enhances the fabric’s breathability. This type of shirt is spectacularly soft, fresh and has a sheen that only true cotton lisle can offer.

Soya yarn is a sustainable fabric with astonishing properties. It is perfect for undergarments as it regulates body temperature by absorbing moisture and drying faster than other fibres. This fabric is ideal for those who tend to sweat a bit more. Plus, it is anti-bacterial; it prevents the build-up of bacteria that cause bad body odour.

Which types of shirts we make?

Now that we’ve seen the fabrics, let’s take a look at the different types of men’s undershirts that we make:

• Vest
• Short sleeve V-neck T-shirt
• Short sleeve crew neck T-shirt
• Long sleeve T-shirt

The vest is the sportiest and most quintessential undergarment, so to speak. It is also called a tank top. When you think of a men’s undershirt, you think of this top, the crew neck vest top. Purists wear it all year round, since our undershirts, no matter the fabric, are highly breathable and prevent sweating. This way, in summer your shirt is always dry, since it’s the undershirt that absorbs any moisture and prevents sweat from bleeding through.

The short sleeve T-shirt comes in both a V-neck and crew neck option; pick your favourite. The V-neck prevents the undershirt from being seen, and the crew neck may or may not show. Both are totally versatile and look so good that they can be worn as an undershirt or a normal T-shirt.

The long sleeve T-shirt is the best garment for protecting you from the cold in winter. We only make this model in stretch Egyptian cotton, which allows it to fit the body perfectly and offers unbeatable comfort.

In short, ZD undershirts are an affordable, basic luxury of superior quality that look great and are a must-have in any man’s wardrobe. If you get used to wearing them, you won’t be able to live without them.
