TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB

A featherweight training shirt that thrives during your hardest workouts and dries lightning fast. We built these tees to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci

ToughMesh™ is our world-class, featherweight fabric milled at the foothills of the Italian Alps, not far from where da Vinci painted The Last Supper. It took us five years to develop, test and prove a fabric that could thrive in our way of life — no cost, time, or rigor was spared to create a line of apparel that’s tough enough to endure the demands of rucking and training and will dry long before you could drink your first beer, which will be well earned.

We’re proud of the outcome and hope you wear it hard.

Features
  • Lightweight, breathable, wrinkle-free, and quick drying performance fabric
  • Classic fit - patterned after our best selling Triblend T-shirts, then built from the ground up.
Materials
  • Black, Ranger Green, Red: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane
  • Charcoal: 80% Nylon, 15% Elastane, 5% Polyester
  • About ToughMesh™:
    • “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci. T’s transition easily from the driveway to the streets to the bar. With and without a ruck on your back.
    • ToughMesh™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter). That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics.
    • To make the fabric tough enough, we use nylon (then add a little stretch). The polyester version repeatedly failed our testing and cost us an extra year that we’ll never get back.
    • Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44 gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20 gauge needles. Quality takes time.
    • Mini-perforations are woven into the fabric to increase airflow, speed up dry time and decrease weight. They’re small and mighty but do not dominate the aesthetic of the shirt.
    • ToughMesh™ has a rating of UPF 35 - this means that you will get more protection from UV rays than a standard training shirt.

Tough mesh

"I have 3 tough mesh products and love them all. I was sure that they would be the perfect base layer (or stand alone top) in hot weather, but they are a surprisingly good base layer for cool weather as well. I also appreciate the odor control over multiple warm days. Keep up the good work!"
