Men's Tri-Blend Short-Sleeve Pocket Tee
Short-Sleeve Tee · Summer / Layering / Travel / Casual
Made from a super-soft blend that features 50% recycled fabric and 13% TENCEL Lyocell — a material sourced from responsibly managed forests. With a chest pocket for a more elevated aesthetic, the Men's Tri-Blend Short-Sleeve Pocket Tee is the perfect layer for days spent exploring. The tri-blend weave pairs recycled polyester, cotton, and TENCEL for a soft, drapey fabric that holds its shape, breathes on a hot afternoon, and layers cleanly under an open shirt or a flannel when the sun drops.
Relaxed Fit
Relaxed fit through the body with a clean, untucked-friendly silhouette — cut to wear over a baselayer on a cool morning, on its own with shorts on a hike, or under a flannel on a fall evening. The relaxed cut is sized for a range of everyday uses rather than a single specialty. A tee that's built to be lived in.
Tri-Blend Fabric
Body fabric made with 50% recycled polyester, 37% cotton, and 13% TENCEL Lyocell — a tri-blend that brings together the best of each fiber. The recycled polyester adds structure, helps the fabric recover from a wash-and-dry cycle, and reduces dry time. The cotton gives the soft, breathable hand. The TENCEL Lyocell adds drape, moisture management, and a smooth surface that feels cool against the skin. The blend is what makes the tee soft enough to wear all day and drapey enough to read as an intentional relaxed silhouette.
TENCEL™ Lyocell
TENCEL Lyocell is a man-made cellulose fiber sourced from responsibly managed forests — the wood pulp is processed in a closed-loop system that recycles the solvent and reuses it batch after batch. TENCEL adds a smooth, cool hand to the tri-blend, drapes beautifully on the body, and wicks more moisture than cotton alone. The fiber is what turns a basic pocket tee into a layer that feels premium on a hot day.
Rib on Collar
Rib knit on the collar adds structure, holds its shape through repeat wash cycles, and lies flat against the neck without rolling. The rib is built from the same tri-blend as the body (190 g/m², slightly heavier for a more substantial collar), so it stretches and recovers with the rest of the tee instead of becoming a stretched-out ring after a season of wear.
Forward-Set Shoulder Seams
Forward-set shoulder seams — the shoulder seam sits slightly in front of the natural shoulder line rather than directly on top, which gives the relaxed fit a more dropped, modern silhouette. The forward-set construction adds a subtle visual structure to the front panel and allows more room through the chest for layering. A small construction detail that elevates the relaxed cut from a basic tee.
Chest Pocket
Chest pocket — the elevated-aesthetic detail that takes the tee from a basic to a more polished piece. Sized for a phone, a small notebook, a pen, or a pair of sunglasses. The pocket lies flat against the chest when empty, and the depth keeps small essentials from sliding out when the tee is worn untucked. The pocket is the kind of detail that lets the tee work over a pair of chinos on a casual day, not just with shorts at the trailhead.
Woven Flag Label
Woven logo flag label on the left side seam — a small, visible brand mark that catches the eye on the hip without being a chest graphic. The woven construction (rather than printed or embroidered) gives the label a tactile, intentional feel. The flag label is sewn into the side seam rather than applied to the body, so it doesn't fade with wash cycles and doesn't add any stiffness to the wear against the skin. Subtle, intentional branding.

Machine Wash
Machine wash cold with like colors. Use a mild detergent. Turn the tee inside out to protect the chest pocket and the woven flag label, and to reduce pilling on the tri-blend face. Wash with similar fabrics to avoid pilling from rougher materials like denim or canvas. Cold water preserves the tri-blend fibers, prevents shrinking, and uses less energy than a warm cycle. The lightweight 145 g/m² fabric dries quickly even on a low-heat cycle.
Tumble Dry Low
Tumble dry on low heat, or lay flat to dry. Remove from the dryer promptly to minimize wrinkles. High heat will shrink the cotton, weaken the TENCEL fibers, and degrade the recycled polyester. Low heat or line drying extends the life of the tee significantly. The tri-blend fabric releases wrinkles easily with a quick steam or a moment on a hanger, so ironing is rarely needed.
Iron
Iron on low heat if needed. The tri-blend fabric is naturally wrinkle-resistant, so ironing is usually unnecessary. If pressing is needed, iron on the reverse side to protect the side-seam flag label and the chest pocket. Avoid using a hot iron directly on the rib trim, which can lose its shape under high heat.
Do Not Bleach
Do not use chlorine bleach or fabric softener. Bleach breaks down the cotton fibers, the TENCEL Lyocell, and the recycled polyester. Fabric softener coats the tri-blend fibers with a film that reduces the moisture-wicking properties of the TENCEL and the breathability of the cotton. A mild detergent and a proper wash cycle handle odor and stains without either chemical.
Storage
Fold and store in a cool, dry place. Hang on a wide wooden or padded hanger if hanging, to avoid stretching the rib collar or the forward-set shoulder seams. A standard wire hanger can leave pointed shoulder bumps on a relaxed-fit tee — folding is usually the better call. Keep the tee away from direct sunlight in storage to prevent any future fading of the dyed fabric.
Refreshing Between Wears
Refresh the tee between wears by hanging it in a steamy bathroom for 10-15 minutes — the TENCEL Lyocell releases wrinkles and odors quickly when exposed to steam, which is the same property that makes the fabric feel fresh on a hot day. A quick steam refresh extends the time between full wash cycles, which extends the life of the fabric and saves water.
