Shell 1 in 95% viscose, 5% elastane gives the primary panels a natural lustre, silk-like drape, and temperature regulation that cotton cannot match. Shell 2 in 47% cotton, 47% modal, 6% elastane provides the secondary panels with the softness of modal, the breathability of cotton, and the highest elastane concentration in the THOM KROM worked knit range for maximum movement recovery. The rib is 100% cotton. In black, the viscose shell reads with a quiet depth — a black that absorbs light differently from a cotton or polyester surface. German design.

viscose shell makes contact immediately — cooler and smoother than cotton, with a surface that slides rather than grips. The black reads quietly in direct light, and with a subtle sheen as you move through it. The modal in the secondary panels adds a different density: less slippery than viscose, warmer in tone, a counterpoint softness. The cotton rib holds at the wrist without tension. The t-shirt sits where it should — not too close, not pulling away — and the elastane in both shells means it stays there through everything the day requires.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the black t-shirt that requires no explanation and no replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Art of Viscose in Worked Knit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eViscose — a regenerated cellulose fibre derived from wood pulp — has a molecular structure that produces surface properties fundamentally different from cotton despite sharing the same cellulose base. The processing dissolves and re-extruded cellulose produces fibres with a round, smooth cross-section that reflects light along its length — the source of viscose's natural sheen. In a worked knit loop structure, this smooth fibre creates a surface with visible directional character: the loop crowns catch light differently from the loop valleys, and the knit direction affects the drape across the body. In black, this translates to a depth and quiet luminosity that flat-woven viscose cannot achieve and that cotton and polyester blacks cannot replicate. The modal in Shell 2 complements this: modal's refining process produces a fibre between viscose and cotton in surface character — smoother than cotton, less reflective than viscose, with a density that provides the secondary panels with a different tactile and visual register from the primary viscose shell. The three fabrics of the M TS 978 black do not match each other; they complement each other, each contributing its specific material properties to the zones where they are the correct choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a standalone statement in warm weather:\u003c\/strong\u003e The viscose manages temperature actively and the black reads with depth — a t-shirt that works as a complete look without layering, paired with the M ST 537 black trousers for a full worked knit construction throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a base layer under the THOM KROM jacket range:\u003c\/strong\u003e The viscose drapes cleanly under any outer layer; the elastane panels accommodate compression without bulk or resistance; the t-shirt that disappears when layered and performs when worn alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWith the M S 191 black sweatshirt for transitional weather:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two different THOM KROM black constructions in the same look — the viscose t-shirt's quiet sheen under the four-fabric cotton sweatshirt's matte surface; a layered look where the material contrast is the detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEvening and travel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Viscose resists the creasing of woven fabrics under sustained pressure; the black reads as dressed without effort; the t-shirt that moves from transit to table without a change\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash cold or machine wash cold, delicate cycle — viscose is sensitive to both heat and agitation; cold water and minimal movement preserve the surface sheen and prevent fibre distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash inside out to protect the viscose surface lustre and prevent pilling at the loop crowns under friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not tumble dry — lay flat to dry; viscose loses tensile strength when wet and will distort if hung or machine-dried\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not bleach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not iron directly on the viscose surface — low steam from inside with a cloth barrier if needed; viscose is heat-sensitive and can develop permanent sheen marks under direct iron contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not dry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore folded; viscose is susceptible to prolonged pressure marks but recovers with light steaming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe M TS 978 Black is THOM KROM material intelligence at t-shirt weight.
