Product Insights
In The Shadow Pleated Long-Sleeve T-Shirt Pleated after garment assembly, not cut from pre-pleated fabric. Abstract front-and-back print interacts with the vertical pleats to create a shadow-and-light effect. Choose your usual Homme Plissé size by height and preferred length; do not size down for a closer chest fit. The pleating is semi-permanent: it softens gradually with wear and washing, and the brand does not reprocess pleats. At 825 CAD with flat pricing across sizes, value rests on the designer garment-pleating, print and fabric performance, balanced against careful maintenance and semi-permanent pleats.
