Goodwear Stripe Hemp Tee

Time to get dressed.

Your new favourite Dad tee is planet-friendly. Goodwear’s Stripe Hemp Tee is Made in the USA using an eco-friendly blend of Hemp & organic cotton, making it as soft as it is durable. When we write soft, we mean cloud-like softness thanks to the organic cotton. On the other end of the blend, Hemp is the most eco-friendly and durable fabric available in the clothing industry today. The Stripe Hemp Tee is built to last you for Father’s Days to come. The Stripe Hemp Tee rocks

Goodwear’s Modern Fit – structured & stylish. It is cut & sewn to perfection with fitted sleeves that will rest snugger on your arms and shoulders, but still loose on your body. The fabric weight of 6.2 OSY is a game-changer and illustrates the quality craftsmanship that went into building this tee. Goodwear’s signature is their heavyweight tees, which is a fan-favourite among hypebeasts in fashion-forward regions like Japan, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. The simple navy stripes across the tee’s landscape are yarn-dyed for a vintage, washed-out vibe. The garment is washed, so you will experience no further shrinkage, de-shape, or colour fade when you wash and dry the Stripe Hemp Tee. Pairing the Stripe Hemp Tee with any fit is easy because of its simple, basic design. It matches well with any casual outfit of your liking. Wear it around the house or out with your Dad friends. This American Classic will hold its style wherever you decide to sport it and is our pick for Father’s Day. Visit Goodwear’s Father’s Day Sale selection here.

Fox River

Next. Socks.

We are happy to include Fox River socks in this Father’s Day roundup. People are putting a lot of thought into where their money is going, for example, questioning what values the company upholds.
