THE SIX MILE TEE
It takes 8,700 miles to make your average tee. What ifĀ you could cut that mileage in half? After months of researching, weāve found a way to get the miles right down. We sourced organic cotton from a farm in Turkey, then from milling onwards,Ā it's spun into yarn, dyed, knitted, cut and sewn within six miles in Northern Portugal. Yup. Six miles. (It turns out that it also takes 6 miles of yarn to make one T-shirt.)
SUPER SOFT
Made from a midweight 200gsm jersey, the Six Mile Tee will probably be one of the softest t-shirt in your wardrobe. Heavy enough to stop anything showing through, while light enough to tuck. Knitted with a super soft 100% organic cotton, itās just as soft as it is durable. Oh, and itās pre washed to remove any shrinkage before it gets to you and keep itās shape after plenty of washing.
A BOXY CUT
The fit is boxier and finishes on the hip. An all year round staple that looks great tucked in or left out. For more help with sizing, head to this page for more details.

A PAYNTER EXPERIMENT
This is not the perfect white tee. To us, the perfect tee uses as littleĀ resources andĀ leavesĀ as small a trace as possible on our planet. We couldn't be more proud of this tee, but we know that mileage only counts forĀ a fraction of the T-shirt's impact.Ā Weāre taking this one step at a time. And with eachĀ Batch of tees we make, weāll iterate on our goal of a tee with theĀ smallest impact. The limited Batches will map the iterations and improvements as we learn. This is not the perfect white tee.Ā But it's the start of our journey towards getting there.
