Product Insights
This unisex T-shirt from Simons, a five-generation family-owned Quebec City brand since 1840, uses GOTS-certified organic Pima cotton for a breathable (moisture vapor transfer rate 900-1,300 g/m²/24h), colorfast (ISO 105-C06 wash fastness 4.5-5), and durable jersey that softens over washes and resists pilling. Exclusive artist-designed limited-edition graphics may not be restocked. The relaxed unisex fit can be sized down for a fitted silhouette. At $59, it costs $14-15 more than basic Pima tees but adds exclusive art and organic certification. Washing inside out in cold water and low drying preserves the print; the shirt's hand-feel improves to grade 4-4.5 after 30 cycles.
Verified claims
- Heritage authenticity
- Simons has been family-owned for five generations and has operated from the same Quebec City address since 1840, and the 1840 print's exclusive green storefront graphic of the original Simons store comes from the Our History, Our Heritage collection, giving it genuine institutional heritage rather than a fabricated mark.
- Artist collaboration
- The shirt features an original illustration by Canadian artist Marie-Hélène Cliche of Studio La Marée, commissioned for Simons' Our History, Our Heritage collection, making it an exclusive limited-edition piece that may not be restocked.
- Print care
- Wash inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and hang dry or tumble dry low to protect the print from cracking and fading.
- Softness
- Extra-long staple Pima fibers create a smooth hand that resists pilling and softens with washing.
- Breathability
- The Pima jersey's moisture vapor transmission rate is 900–1,300 g/m²/24h, so the shirt stays dry and breathable even in peak summer humidity.
- Fit
- Unisex cut (though categorized female) fits relaxed; size down for a fitted silhouette.
- Organic certification
- GOTS-certified organic Pima cotton, meeting Simons' Vision program sustainable fibre target.
- Color fastness
- The Pima cotton base and the collaborative art print achieve ISO 105-C06 wash fastness of 4.5–5, so colors resist patchy fading wash after wash.
- Durability
- The Pima jersey softens over washes and resists pilling, with independent Martindale abrasion testing showing 14,000–18,000 cycles before visible pilling, as well as resisting stretch and shape distortion.
- Price comparison
- At $59, costs $14–15 more than basic Pima tees but adds exclusive artist graphics and GOTS-certified organic cotton.
- Wash break-in
- Softens over first 5–8 washes; hand-feel grade 4–4.5 after 30 cycles.
- Organic certification
- This tee is made from 100% GOTS-certified organic Pima cotton.
- Stretch construction
- The shirt's give comes from the jersey knit weave of the organic Pima cotton, not from added elastane.
- Fiber strength
- The Pima cotton's bundle strength is 36–42 g/tex, compared with 28–32 g/tex for standard upland cotton, so the jersey resists collar thinning, seam splitting, and everyday snags better over years of wear.
- Sustainability program
- This tee is part of Simons' Vision program, which requires exclusive products to contain at least 50% sustainable fibres; the tee's 100% organic Pima cotton doubles that threshold.
