The black is flat and warm, not reflective, not sheer. The 5% elastane is present throughout: the t-shirt extends when you move and returns when you stop, maintaining the same fit from the first hour to the last. This is the t-shirt that disappears when you want it to and holds its presence when it stands alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most fundamental piece in the THOM KROM t-shirt range. Cotton.

Both are black t-shirts in the THOM KROM worked knit range; they achieve their black by fundamentally different means. The M TS 978 achieves a black with surface character through the viscose's natural directional sheen — the black absorbs light differently at different angles, giving the t-shirt visual depth without finish treatment. The M TS 960 achieves a black that is cotton from surface to core: the cellulose fibre's matte light absorption, the breathability of the natural structure, the warmth of a natural-dominant material. Cotton at 95% accepts black dye deeply and holds it with a colour fastness that improves relative to synthetic-dominant blends under cold-wash conditions. The worked knit loop structure adds its own dimension to the black: the loop crowns sit at a slightly different angle from the loop legs, creating a micro-textural pattern across the surface that prevents the black from reading as flat. The M TS 960 black is not a simpler garment than the M TS 978 — it is a different kind of sophisticated, one that does not announce itself through material complexity but through the completeness of its natural material execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a standalone piece year-round:\u003c\/strong\u003e The cotton breathes in warm weather and layers in cool; the matte black reads as complete without layering — with the M ST 537 black trousers for a full cotton-dominant worked knit construction from t-shirt to trouser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a base layer under the M SJ 701, M SJ 703, or M SJ 707:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 95% cotton breathes under any outer layer; the t-shirt disappears under a jacket and performs when the jacket comes off — a base layer that does not need to compromise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayered with the M S 191 black sweatshirt:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two THOM KROM black cotton constructions — the M TS 960's single-fabric cotton base under the M S 191's four-fabric worked knit; the cotton t-shirt as the natural foundation beneath the construction complexity above\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgainst the M TS 960 ecru:\u003c\/strong\u003e The two pure cotton worked knit t-shirts in the range, in direct tonal contrast — the ecru's warm off-white and the black's matte depth, the same construction at opposite ends of the colour spectrum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine wash cold or warm, gentle cycle — the 95% cotton is wash-stable; cold or cool water preserves black depth and prevents progressive fading; avoid high-temperature washes that accelerate colour loss in cotton blacks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash inside out to protect the worked knit surface and preserve black depth at the loop crowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry on high heat — lay flat to dry or tumble dry on low; high heat degrades elastane recovery over repeated cycles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not bleach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore folded to maintain the worked knit structure over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe M TS 960 Black is THOM KROM cotton at its most direct. 95%.
