The design of this garment is a tribute to the evolution of athletic wear, blending modern functionality with a rich historical legacy. This fitted tee draws its design inspiration from early 20th-century sports apparel, reflecting the classic aesthetics of vintage rowing uniforms and runners’ track shirts.
In the early 1900s, athletes competing in the Olympics and other prestigious events wore garments that were as much about tradition as they were about performance. The rowing uniforms of the time featured simple, functional designs, and team insignias that denoted club affiliations. These garments were crafted for durability and practicality, designed to withstand the rigours of intense physical activity while offering a refined, classic look.
Track shirts from the same era were characterised by their minimalistic design, often made from wool or cotton blends that provided a balance of comfort and breathability. These shirts were essential for athletes as they competed in various disciplines, from sprints to marathons. The design elements included ribbed necklines and cuffs, and occasionally, decorative stitching, which not only added style but also ensured a snug, supportive fit.
By incorporating these design elements into a modern, fitted tee, we honour the legacy of those early athletes while providing a garment that meets the demands of contemporary training and layering.
