No viscose, no polyester, no modal — cotton is the material in the primary position and the 5% elastane provides the stretch recovery that pure cotton cannot. In ecru, the natural off-white of the cotton fibre reads without interference from synthetic content or finishing treatments. The worked knit loop structure adds mechanical stretch and a surface texture distinct from jersey. The simplest construction in the THOM KROM t-shirt range, and the one that places cotton most directly in the foreground. German design.

The ecru carries a warmth that optical white does not — it sits against skin tones of every register without the stark contrast of processed white, without the formality that white introduces. The 5% elastane means the t-shirt returns to where it started after every extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the piece you reach for when everything else is too considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Art of Cotton at 95%\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 95% cotton, the M TS 960 sits at the maximum natural fibre content that still provides meaningful elastane contribution. Pure cotton worked knit stretches through the mechanical action of the knit loop structure but does not recover — over repeated wear and washing, the loops relax and the garment progressively loses its original dimensions. At 5% elastane, each cotton-elastane fibre thread contains a polyurethane core that acts as a spring: it extends when the fabric stretches and contracts when the tension is released, maintaining the shape of the knit loop structure across the service life of the garment. This is the minimum elastane concentration required for consistent recovery in a worked knit t-shirt. The M TS 960 uses exactly this minimum — enough elastane to provide function, not enough to change the character of the cotton. In ecru, the absence of heavy dyeing or optical brightening agents means the cotton fibres retain more of their natural surface character: the slight irregularity of natural cellulose, the warmth of undyed cotton, the softness that processing can partially remove. Cotton is what it is here, at its clearest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a standalone piece in warm weather:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 95% cotton breathes maximally and the ecru reads as considered without effort — with the M ST 537 black trousers for a tonal contrast built on the simplest THOM KROM foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAs a base layer for the THOM KROM autumn range:\u003c\/strong\u003e The high cotton content breathes under any outer layer; the ecru reads as a warm inner layer against the black and grey of the THOM KROM jacket and trouser range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayered under the M SJ 701 or M SJ 703 dual-shell jacket:\u003c\/strong\u003e The pure cotton t-shirt beneath the cotton-dominant dual-shell jacket — a consistent material register from the innermost layer outward, the ecru providing a warm tonal counterpoint visible at the collar and hem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSummer resort and travel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximum cotton breathability and natural moisture management; the ecru survives transit and sun without the starkness of optical white; the elastane keeps the t-shirt looking as it started\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 content is wash-stable; cold water preserves ecru's warmth and prevents progressive brightening from detergent residue; avoid high-temperature washes that can yellow natural cotton over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash inside out to protect the worked knit surface and prevent pilling under friction\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 — bleach will destroy the natural ecru tone and produce uneven yellowing across the cotton surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow steam iron if needed — press from inside with a cloth barrier; avoid direct high heat on the elastane content\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 is THOM KROM cotton, simply. 95%.
