Utilitees (5.5 oz.)

Utilitees is essentially a subbrand of Iron Heart, I guess. The tees are loopwheeled and made in Japan, but that’s also just about where the “similaritees” with the rest of the list end.

Being lighter and more fitted than the rest, a Utilitees T-shirt combines traditional loopwheeling craftsmanship with contemporary design, making it a standout choice for those seeking a high-quality, versatile basic.

What You Need to Know

  • Fit: Contemporary slim fit with a longer body, ideal to wear tucked in.
  • Fabric: An easy-wearing lightweight 5.5 oz. (186 gsm) loopwheeled fabric that borderline see-through in the white option. It’s made on newer loopwheelers from the 1980s.
  • Key Features: High collar with a thick rib, slim fit, elongated body for modern styling.
  • Made in: Japan.
  • Size guide: You’ll likely need to size up, but you might want to consider your usual size for a fitted look.
  • Colours: Available in white, black, navy, grey, and many more seasonal colours.

Verdict: Best Modern Lightweight

The Utilitees T-shirt is a solid choice for a lightweight loopwheeled alternative to the heavier options. The slim fit and slightly longer body make it both modern and practical, while the lighter fabric makes it a great choice for first-time loopwheel buyers, or anyone looking for a warm-weather T-shirt.

All in all, this is your go-to for a contemporary, lightweight tee that doesn’t compromise on quality.
