SET SPECIMEN 01 Oversized cotton t-shirt

The SET SPECIMEN 01 Heavyweight Oversized T-Shirt is built for those who don’t do ordinary. Constructed from a premium 300gsm cotton-spandex blend (95% cotton, 5% elastane), this structured oversized tee delivers a substantial, luxury feel with enough stretch to move with you — not against you.
At 8.85 oz./yd.², the SPECIMEN 01 sits firmly in heavyweight territory, offering the kind of structure and drape that budget basics simply can’t match. The oversized silhouette channels current streetwear proportion trends while the medium-soft hand feel keeps all-day wearability front and centre.
Part of the SET numbered collectible series, SPECIMEN 01 is a limited graphic tee designed to age like archive — not a seasonal throwaway.

Product: SPECIMEN 01 Heavyweight Oversized T-Shirt
SET is a UK-based urban streetwear label founded in 1992, known for premium quality blanks and graphic-forward design. The SPECIMEN series represents the brand’s collectible tier — numbered, non-repeating editions built on high-specification garment bases.
SPECIMEN 01 uses a 300gsm cotton-elastane fabric (95/5 split), placing it among the heavier end of the premium t-shirt market — comparable to luxury streetwear blanks. The 5% elastane distinguishes it from standard heavyweight tees by adding stretch retention and structural recovery, making it both durable and comfortable across extended wear.
The oversized fit is calibrated for current streetwear proportions: dropped shoulders, extended body length, and a relaxed chest with enough structure to hold the silhouette. The medium-soft hand feel avoids the stiffness common in ultra-heavyweight blanks.
As a numbered collectible, SPECIMEN 01 is positioned as a wardrobe investment rather than a seasonal piece — consistent with the growing consumer preference for slow fashion, quality-over-quantity purchasing, and brand archive culture.
Best for: Streetwear collectors, quality-conscious casual dressers, graphic tee enthusiasts, gift buyers seeking premium apparel.
