The Grey That Refuses to Be Neutral
3B M1295 in cold-dyed grey is the oversized tee stripped of everything decorative and left with nothing but construction. A 100% cotton body, an asymmetrical ribbed crewneck, and raw-cut edges front and back, all given depth by a low-temperature dye that standard dyeing cannot imitate. Made in Italy by La Haine Inside Us, it is a basic in name only.
Why This T-Shirt Is Different
- Cold-Dyed Grey: The dye is set at low temperature, producing a soft, washed grey with tonal movement — not the flat, factory-even grey of standard tees.
- Asymmetrical Ribbed Crewneck: The ribbed neckline has raised side sections and a lower centre front, with two small notches that meet the exposed front seams.
- Raw Cut Front and Back: Exposed, raw-edged seams trace the front and back panels, highlighting the construction against the washed grey cotton.
- Oversized Fit: Volume through the body and shoulder carries the silhouette; unlike a slim tee, this sits deliberately away from the body.
- 100% Cotton Body: Breathable, natural, and soft from the first wear — the rib crewneck carries 3% elastane so the collar keeps its shape.
- Made in Italy: Produced in Italy under La Haine Inside Us's manufacturing standards.
- No Logo: Nothing on the surface — the dye, the collar, and the cut do the work.
- Quiet Complexity: The grey reads neutral from across the room and constructed up close — tonal variation gives every garment its own character.
- Layering Foundation: Cold grey sits under black, white, ecru, and olive without ever competing.

The Moment You Put It On
The cotton needs no break-in. The oversized cut falls away from the body and holds its line as you move, and the cold dye gives the grey a matte, mineral depth that shifts with the light — warmer indoors, stonier by daylight. The stepped ribbed neckline and exposed seams create definition without taking away the ease of the oversized cut.
Wear it under everything you already own. The cold grey disappears into a layered look and then quietly makes it look decided. This is the piece that makes simple clothing look considered.
The Art of Cold Dyeing
Cold dyeing sets colour at low temperature instead of the high-heat baths used in standard dyeing. On a grey cotton it produces something close to weathered stone: soft transitions in tone, a matte surface, and a washed-in character from the first wear. Where standard dyeing yields uniform, factory-even colour, cold dyeing allows subtle variation between garments — each piece carries its own tone, and it evolves gently over the garment's life. The result is a grey that behaves like a material rather than a fill colour.
The Art of the Raw Cut
Two exposed seams run from the notched neckline towards the front hem, while a curved shoulder yoke and centre seam define the back. The cold-dyed grey highlights these raised edges through subtle tonal contrast. Unlike a plain oversized tee, the M1295 uses its construction lines to give relaxed volume a deliberate architectural shape.
How to Wear It
- Everyday: With black or charcoal trousers and clean footwear — the cold grey as the tonal anchor.
- Layered: Under an open overshirt or coat in colder months — the grey reads through open layers without competing.
- Contrast: With ecru or washed denim — light neutrals that sharpen the grey's depth.
- Evening: With tailored black trousers and dark leather — the oversized volume gives the raw edges an editorial edge.
Care Instructions
- Hand wash cold or gentle machine wash at 30°C, inside out, with mild detergent
- Cold-dyed fabrics evolve gently over time — wash cold to preserve the grey tone
- Do not tumble dry — dry flat to preserve the oversized shape
- Do not bleach
- Iron on the reverse at low temperature, avoiding the raw-cut edges
A note on the material: cotton is a natural plant fibre that softens with wear and biodegrades at the end of the garment's life — a foundation built to last, not to be replaced.
