t-shirts men

A.P.C. cuts its Standard men's T-shirts straight and unisex, in heavyweight organic cotton for the Rue Madame, with a velvet-feel V.P.C. logo on the Grand VPC. After that, the cotton, the logo and the collar decide which one to choose.

Men's T-shirts with a straight cut

The Standard Rue Madame T-shirt Unisex is a men's T-shirt in heavyweight cotton with a crew neck, black in the body and embroidered in white with 'A.P.C. Rue Madame' over the heart. The Standard Grand VPC T-shirt Unisex keeps the same shape in dark navy and ecru. A.P.C. designs both as unisex pieces, so the two share a single fit and the choice between them comes down to the logo.

Outside the Standard range, the same shape reappears in several pieces of the men's collection. A.P.C. offers a plain white T-shirt in organic cotton with a ribbed crew neck, and a black striped one with triple pinstripes that also comes with long sleeves. Stripes run black on ecru in another version, while a heather grey piece carries a vintage A.P.C. logo for anyone who would rather wear a little lettering.

What makes quality T-shirts for men

Weight is the first measure of quality T-shirts for men, and A.P.C. makes the Standard Rue Madame in heavyweight organic cotton. The finish is the second, with lettering embroidered on the Rue Madame and a velvet-feel logo on the Grand VPC, two details well worth seeking out in men's high-quality T-shirts. Either one sits comfortably with straight jeans in indigo selvedge denim, for an outfit that stays simple all week.

Under an open shirt, the collar of a T-shirt shows only as a narrow band of colour at the neck. A.P.C. makes several of its men's shirts in cotton poplin or oxford, and a Standard sits neatly under one worn open. The plain white one suits this best, since nothing on its front competes with the shirt. Worn loose over men's trousers in cotton canvas, it keeps the silhouette relaxed.

The polo, a men's T-shirt with a collar

A polo is a men's T-shirt with a collar, and A.P.C. cuts one in cotton piqué, in black or in white, finished with a logo. In autumn, a polo goes under a merino jumper with its collar laid over the neckline, a neat way to wear it to the office. A navy blue rugby polo and an A.P.C. Golf logo polo give the collar a sportier look for the weekend.

On cooler days, a Standard layers under a dark navy sweatshirt embroidered over the heart. In summer, T-shirts are worn on their own and the short sleeves leave the wrists on show. A.P.C. designs a curb chain bracelet in silvertone or in goldtone brass to wear with them. With or without a collar, the weight of the cotton and the finish of the logo together mark out men's high-quality T-shirts.
