THOM KROM M TS 1001 T-Shirt - Black Cotton Polyester Elastane Worked Knit Performance Men's German

The T-Shirt Built to Perform at Every Layer.

The THOM KROM M TS 1001 is a worked knit t-shirt in a single three-component blend: 71% cotton, 24% polyester, 5% elastane. The cotton majority provides breathability and natural hand-feel. The 24% polyester — significantly higher than in any THOM KROM sweatshirt shell — adds dimensional stability, moisture management, and abrasion resistance at t-shirt weight. The 5% elastane gives the entire garment consistent stretch and recovery in every direction, without the need for panel differentiation. One fabric. Every performance property. German design. Turkish manufacture.

Why This T-Shirt Is Different

• 71% Cotton, 24% Polyester, 5% Elastane blend: A performance-specification blend at a higher polyester and elastane ratio than any THOM KROM sweatshirt — built for stretch recovery, shape retention, and active wear at t-shirt weight
• 24% Polyester content: At this concentration, the polyester adds meaningful dimensional stability and moisture-wicking capability while preserving the natural breathability of the cotton majority — the t-shirt that resists deformation under sustained wear better than any cotton-dominant single-fabric equivalent
• 5% Elastane throughout: Full-garment consistent stretch in every direction — unlike the panel-placement approach in the dual-shell and four-fabric pieces, the M TS 1001 achieves consistent give across the entire body through the blend, not through construction segmentation
• Worked / gewirkt construction: Loop-built fabric — the elastane content amplifies the inherent stretch of the knit structure; the resulting t-shirt moves further and recovers faster than a woven equivalent
• Single-fabric simplicity: One blend applied uniformly across the entire garment — no panel seams, no tonal variation between zones, a clean and consistent surface from shoulder to hem
• German design: THOM KROM performance fabric specification applied to the most fundamental garment category — the t-shirt that performs without announcing it
• No logos: The knit texture and the precision of the cut carry the identity
• Unlike standard cotton t-shirts which stretch out and deform under sustained wear, the M TS 1001's 24% polyester and 5% elastane provide recovery that keeps the garment returning to its original dimensions wash after wash, wear after wear

The Moment You Put It On

The worked knit stretches over the body and returns. The 5% elastane is present in every thread, in every direction — this is not a t-shirt with stretch zones; it is a t-shirt that stretches everywhere. The 24% polyester holds the knit structure; the fabric does not bag at the elbows, does not drop at the shoulder, does not relax through the body the way pure cotton does after an hour of wear. The 71% cotton keeps it breathing. It sits where it should sit, all day.

This is the base layer that performs under the THOM KROM jacket range, and the t-shirt that doesn't need one.

The Art of Performance Knit at T-Shirt Weight

The 71/24/5 blend in the M TS 1001 is a specific performance specification — not a compromise between natural and synthetic, but a deliberate material ratio designed to deliver stretch, recovery, and shape retention at the weight and breathability of a t-shirt. At 24% polyester, the blend crosses the threshold where synthetic content meaningfully contributes to moisture management and dimensional stability: the polyester fibres wick moisture away from the cotton core, and their inherent dimensional stability prevents the knit loops from deforming under sustained wear. At 5% elastane throughout — not concentrated in rib or placed in specific panels, but distributed uniformly — the fabric extends and recovers consistently in every direction. The worked knit construction amplifies this: the loop structure of the knit creates additional mechanical stretch on top of the material's inherent elasticity, producing a t-shirt that moves further and recovers faster than any single-component equivalent. Unlike the dual-shell and four-fabric THOM KROM pieces that achieve performance through panel differentiation, the M TS 1001 achieves it through material specification — the same answer reached by a different method.

How to Wear It

• As a base layer under the THOM KROM jacket range: The 5% elastane throughout accommodates compression under any outer layer without restricting movement — the t-shirt that disappears under the M SJ 705, M SJ 707, or M J 94 without adding bulk or resistance
• As a standalone piece: The worked knit texture and the precision of the THOM KROM cut make the M TS 1001 a complete piece on its own — with the M ST 537 trousers for a full cotton-dominant worked knit look
• Travel and transit: The polyester content resists creasing and the elastane recovers from sustained compression; the t-shirt arrives from a long flight looking the same as when it was packed
• Active wear: The 24% polyester manages moisture, the 5% elastane moves with the body, the worked knit breathes — a t-shirt that functions through physical activity without the synthetic aesthetic of sportswear

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold, gentle cycle — the polyester content is wash-stable, but cold water and gentle cycle preserve the elastane's stretch recovery over the life of the garment
• Do not tumble dry — lay flat to dry; high heat degrades elastane recovery over repeated cycles
• Do not bleach
• Low steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier; avoid high heat directly on the elastane-polyester blend
• Do not dry clean
• Store folded; the elastane content means the t-shirt recovers from compression, but sustained hanging can stretch the shoulder over time
