Product Insights
The Boxy Cropped T-Shirt by FIVE STUDIOS (standard record price 70 CAD, comparison noted at 39.95 CAD) is a deliberately shorter and less tapered crewneck tee made from 100% cotton jersey that is breathable with porous fibers and open knit, but absorbs up to 27 times its weight in water, retaining moisture longer than synthetics. It is unpre-shrunk, with shrinkage minimized by cold washing and air drying; care includes washing inside out on gentle, cold and air drying to preserve tone-on-tone back embroidery. Available only in red, it pairs with neutral bottoms and aligns with high-waisted bottoms for a leg-lengthening effect, works as a warm-weather standalone and cool-weather base layer. FIVE STUDIOS is a Québec label exclusive to Simons, supporting local design, and this tee costs under half the price of a comparable boxy cropped tee from Five By Flynn.

Deep Research
Value among men’s boxy cropped tees
- Five By Flynn's Crop Boxy Tee, priced at 102 AUD, employs a similar cropped boxy block, mid-weight cotton, and a custom embroidered back patch, which positions the FIVE STUDIOS tee at 39.95 CAD as a significantly more affordable way to adopt the same streetwear-informed aesthetic.
- FIVE STUDIOS is a Québec label exclusive to Simons, so purchasing the tee supports a local Canadian design studio rather than a global chain, offering a distinct brand story that mass-market alternatives like Cotton On or Factorie cannot claim.
How 100% cotton jersey feels and breathes
- Cotton jersey is exceptionally breathable — the porous cotton fibers and open knit allow air to circulate freely, which keeps the tee comfortable in warm weather and prevents that clingy, clammy sensation.
- Because it is knitted rather than woven, cotton jersey has a mechanical stretch and soft drape that a woven cotton shirting can't match — the looped yarn construction gives the fabric the relaxed, body-following character associated with T-shirts.
- Cotton jersey's softness typically improves over the first several washes as the cotton fibers relax and the fabric becomes more supple — meaning the tee should grow more comfortable with regular wear and care.
- Unlike synthetic performance fabrics, cotton jersey is highly absorbent — it can hold up to 27 times its weight in water — so it feels soft and natural against the skin but stays damp longer, which is perfectly suited to everyday casual wear where next-to-skin comfort matters more than rapid moisture transfer.
- The single-knit construction produces a smooth outer face and a looped back, a structural signature that keeps the fabric lightweight and contributes to its characteristic drape — you'll see the smooth side on the outside and the loops on the inside.
Styling a boxy cropped tee
- The cropped length prevents fabric bunching when layered under a denim jacket or leather jacket, and the boxy cut's airy fit keeps the look comfortable — a go-to move for men's crop-top styling that works equally well with open overshirts.
- If the full crop feels too revealing, a half-tuck into high-rise jeans instantly lowers the visible hem to a more modest point while keeping the boxy drape intact — a technique explicitly suggested for boxy crop tees to widen their comfort zone.
- The boxy crop's hem ends around the high waist, so pairing it with high-waisted jeans, trousers, or shorts creates a defined waistline that balances the top's volume — the foundational styling rule repeated across men's crop-top guides.
- The tee is only available in a saturated red, which per styling guides makes it a natural focal point; pair it with neutral bottoms — black, white, denim, beige — to let the color and silhouette pop without competition.
- Wearing the cropped boxy tee with high-waisted bottoms raises the apparent waistline and visually shortens the torso, making the legs appear longer — a deliberate proportion trick used by fashion insiders.
- The back embroidery is rendered in tone-on-tone red thread, so it reads as a textural detail rather than a contrasting logo — meaning it won't clash when layered under an open shirt or blazer and supports the tee's minimalist versatility.

Documents & Data
Q&A
4 answered- Is the cotton jersey pre-shrunk, or should I expect shrinkage after washing?
- The product care label indicates machine washing and no bleach, but it does not specify if the cotton jersey is pre-shrunk. As with most 100% cotton garments, some shrinkage may occur, especially in the first wash. We recommend washing in cold water and air drying to minimize shrinkage.
- Is the shirt available in any colors other than red?
- Based on the available variants, this shirt is currently offered only in Red. There are no other colors listed for this style at this time.
- Is the tone-on-tone embroidery on the back durable enough for regular machine washing, or does it require special care?
- The care instructions recommend machine washing, so the embroidery should hold up to regular washing. For best longevity, turn the shirt inside out and use a gentle cycle. The tone-on-tone embroidery is likely durable, but we cannot guarantee specific results.
- How does the boxy cropped fit compare to a standard crewneck t-shirt from other brands like Uniqlo or American Apparel?
- The Boxy Cropped T-Shirt has a deliberately shorter hem (cropped) and a wider, less tapered body (boxy) compared to a standard crewneck t-shirt like Uniqlo or American Apparel. Standard crewnecks are typically longer and more fitted through the torso. This style offers a relaxed, modern silhouette that sits above the hip.
