Key Features

- Enhanced Durability: Features double-needle stitching on the sleeves and bottom hem, along with a taped neck and shoulders for long-lasting wear.
- Seamless Design: The body is knitted in one piece using tubular knit (no side seams), which reduces fabric waste and prevents the shirt from itching under the arms.
