The pocket tee is one of those things that looks like it requires no thought and actually requires quite a bit. Get the weight wrong and it drapes badly. Get the pocket placement wrong and it throws the whole chest off. Get the fit wrong and you’re wearing a souvenir shirt from somewhere you’ve never been. We’ve been paying close attention to the ones that avoid all of that. What we’re looking for is a fabric with enough body to hold its shape after thirty washes, a crew neck that sits right without being tight, and a pocket that’s proportional rather than decorative. These aren’t statement pieces and they’re not trying to be. They’re the shirts you reach for on a Saturday morning, on a flight, on any day where you want to look like you made an effort without it being obvious that you did. The best ones become favorites fast. These are those.
