Rick Owens V Neck SS T

The fabric is the reason to buy this rather than a cotton tee, and the reason it does not behave like one. Viscose and silk jersey is denser and cooler to the touch than cotton, it has almost no spring, and it carries a faint lustre rather than a matte finish. What that means on the body is that the shirt falls from the shoulder in a column instead of sitting on the frame, and a long body cut in it reads as a line rather than as a long tee.

Styling and care

With black trousers. Under an open outershirt, where the fluidity underneath makes a leather layer read as the structure. For care, hand wash cool, never wring it, and dry it flat, because viscose is markedly weaker wet than dry. Our care guidance covers the rest.

We wanted the viscose and silk jersey in a men's cut and this is it. The cloth is the argument and it is obvious within seconds of putting it on.

Eighty-eight percent viscose and twelve percent silk, made in Italy. Jersey, V neck, long through the body. Colour: Dust.

Long through the body, so it sits well below the hip. Viscose and silk jersey has limited recovery and follows the body closely, relaxing across a day and settling back with care. Take your usual size.

For the same viscose and silk blend, the SS26 Cropped Rib Long Sleeve and the Basic Rib Tank. For the cotton version, the Basic SS T. Size conversion for the house is on the Rick Owens designer page. Everything we currently hold from Rick Owens is listed together.
