The Hebo T-Shirt by Vivienne Westwood is a fitted women's top made from 100% organic cotton jersey. It features an asymmetrical single-sleeve design with draped details, a crew neckline, and a small embroidered multicolor emblem. Customer feedback notes that the plain jersey fabric has limited stretch, so sizing should follow the true size for a tight fit.

Product Insights

The Vivienne Westwood Hebo T-Shirt (225 CAD) offers a distinctive asymmetrical cut with a permanent twisted back, rooted in archival tailoring and made from soft organic cotton jersey. Its core promise is a unique, fluid silhouette with a high pattern complexity for the price, but the tradeoff is an awkward fit that often forces buyers to spend up to $200 on tailoring—which risks ruining the top—or to sew a custom version from a shared DIY pattern. Sizes S, M, L; size up for looser fit or between sizes. Hand wash or machine cold in mesh bag, air dry flat. Embroidery and design heritage appeal to dedicated fans.

Customer Service

JANET H.

I returned my online purchse- the shir t in store at Park Royal as it did not fit. The service was efficient and easy and friendly. I ended up purchasing 2 items in the designer section. Elaine was the person who helped me. She was very friendly. I appreciated the detail of her coming around with the shopping bag and handing it to me.

  • User shares fit issues and warns against untrusted tailors

    I felt this - it fit weird on me too. I don’t trust a tailor to just go at it as it’s so expensive, had one absolutely ruin the cut on one of my tops before. And she charged me $200. Never again. If I were you just get the pattern from the other commenter and that way you can adjust it.

  • User provides sizing information for Hebo top

    Hi, the hebo top in the plain jersey doesn’t have much stretch it’s like a standard T-shirt material. The other fabrications have a bit more stretch. I am my true size but I want it to be quite a tight fit to flatter the waist.
