Slim-Fit Logo-Embroidered Stretch Cotton T-Shirt — Grey, Size M

Prada has always found the unremarkable more interesting than the loud, and this is that instinct in its purest form: a grey stretch cotton-jersey T-shirt carrying the Mario Prada coat of arms — the insignia the house has used since 1913 — worked as tonal embroidery at the chest. From ten feet it is a grey tee. Up close it is unmistakable.

The body is 92% cotton with 8% elastane, giving the close fit and recovery that separates Prada's jersey from a standard cotton tee. This is the house's slim cut and it measures accordingly: 19½ inches pit to pit and 26¾ inches shoulder to hem on a size M, trimmer and shorter than most mediums. Crew neck, short sleeve, made in Italy.

This is the piece that costs more than it looks like it should and is bought by people who already know why. New with tags.
