THOM KROM W TS 57326 Woman Top - Black 71% Cotton 24% Polyester 5% Elastane Lightweight Italian FW25/26

Cotton Blend. Lightweight. 0.2kg. German Design.

The THOM KROM W TS 57326 is a women's top in 71% cotton / 24% polyester / 5% elastane, black. At 0.2kg it is the lightest garment in the THOM KROM FW25/26 women's range at TEPHRA — less than half the weight of the 0.45kg cotton-blend W SK 9526 skirt in the same material composition. The cotton at 71% provides a matte, breathable surface and natural skin-contact comfort; the 24% polyester stabilises the fabric's dimensions through washing; the 5% elastane provides comfortable movement stretch. Women's, XS–L. Made in Italy. Fall/Winter 25/26.

Why This Top Is Different

• 71% cotton / 24% polyester / 5% elastane at 0.2kg: The same material composition as the THOM KROM W SK 9526 cotton-blend skirt, applied at a lighter fabric weight — 0.2kg versus 0.45kg for the skirt; at 0.2kg, the cotton-polyester-elastane fabric is a lightweight construction: the cotton fibre's breathability and matte surface character are present at a fabric weight that sits next to the skin without heaviness; the 5% elastane at this lighter weight provides proportionally more movement comfort relative to the fabric's own body weight than at 0.45kg; the top is lightweight in wear and compressible in packing
• Cotton matte surface in black: Cotton fibres have a natural surface crimp and texture that scatters incident light rather than reflecting it directionally; in black, cotton produces a flat, dense matte surface without tonal variation from fibre angle or light direction; the W TS 57326's black matte surface is consistent across the top regardless of body position or light environment; this is a different black from the W TS 57526 (which is 74% viscose stretch jersey with directional sheen) and from the padded jackets' polyamide-elastane shell (smooth, slightly lustrous); the W TS 57326 provides the matte black top option in the THOM KROM FW25/26 women's range
• Natural cotton breathability at a top's wear position: As a top worn against the torso — the skin-contact layer in most FW25/26 looks — the cotton's natural moisture absorption is most relevant; cotton absorbs perspiration at the torso surface and wicks it into the fabric structure, keeping the skin-contact surface drier than a synthetic-dominant top would; at 0.2kg the fabric is lightweight enough that this moisture transport is efficient; the top is appropriate as the base layer in a THOM KROM FW25/26 layered look (top → skirt or trousers → outer jacket) without trapping heat between layers
• 5% elastane comfort stretch: As established with the W SK 9526 skirt, 5% elastane in a cotton-dominant fabric is comfort stretch — it provides movement freedom within the top's fitted silhouette without the garment becoming a full stretch jersey; arm movement, torso rotation, and reaching do not create tension across the top fabric; at 0.2kg the lightweight fabric's own low resistance to stretch amplifies the elastane's contribution: the combination of lightweight construction and 5% elastane produces a top that moves with the body without restriction
• German design minimalism: No logos, no applied decoration; the W TS 57326's design is its cut, its proportional relationship to the body, and the cotton blend fabric's matte surface; THOM KROM reduction applied to the women's top
• Coordinated with W SK 9526: The W TS 57326 top and W SK 9526 skirt share the same material composition (71% cotton / 24% polyester / 5% elastane) in the same colour (black) at the same season (FW25/26); worn together they constitute a coordinated THOM KROM cotton-blend set with matching surface character, breathability profile, and care requirements; the weight difference (top at 0.2kg, skirt at 0.45kg) reflects the different garment constructions rather than different fabrics
• Made in Italy: THOM KROM German design, Italian production; same production origin as the brand's other FW25/26 women's pieces in this catalogue
• Unlike synthetic black tops (which are warm against the skin and do not absorb moisture), the W TS 57326's 71% cotton provides natural breathability and moisture transport at the skin-contact layer; unlike pure cotton tops (which would shrink under repeated washing and wrinkle under wear), the 24% polyester stabilises the fabric's dimensions

Women's Size Chart

Body measurements. The 5% elastane provides comfort give — size to bust measurement. At 0.2kg the top is lightweight; the fabric adapts easily within each size range.

The Moment You Put It On

0.2kg of cotton-blend fabric against the skin — less than half the weight of a smartphone, worn at the torso. The cotton surface is immediately familiar: the natural slight texture of cotton fibres against the skin, warm at first contact and then breathable as body heat builds; unlike synthetics, the cotton absorbs rather than trapping moisture at the skin surface. The matte black surface absorbs the room's light from every direction — no sheen shift with movement, no tonal variation in different light; a consistent, grounded black that serves as the base of any layered FW25/26 look. The 5% elastane makes itself known only when the body moves: the top follows arm extension, torso rotation, reaching; returns without resistance when the movement is complete.

The Art of Lightweight Cotton Blend in a Top

A 0.2kg women's top in 71% cotton requires a lightweight fabric construction: at this weight, the cotton-polyester-elastane fabric is constructed at a lower thread count or lighter thread weight than the 0.45kg W SK 9526 skirt in the same composition. The implications are practical: the top is more compressible (packable without significant volume), dries faster after washing (less fibre mass to hold water), and has lower thermal mass against the body (less material to warm up and retain heat, making it more responsive to ambient temperature changes). The 5% elastane's contribution is also proportionally larger at 0.2kg: the lower fabric mass means the elastane's elastic recovery force represents a higher proportion of the total fabric's mechanical response to stretch, producing a more elastic feel relative to the fabric weight than the same 5% elastane in the heavier skirt. The 24% polyester at 0.2kg must stabilise a lighter fabric structure against the same stretch-washing-repeat-wear stresses as at 0.45kg — at lighter weight this is a more demanding task (lighter fabrics are more susceptible to stretch distortion at stress points like the neckline and armhole), making the polyester matrix's dimensional stabilisation role structurally more important in the top than in the skirt despite the identical percentage. THOM KROM specifies the same 71/24/5 composition for both the top and skirt as a material consistency decision within the FW25/26 range — the coordinated cotton-blend set in black, at the weight appropriate for each garment type, German design, Italian production.

How to Wear It

• With the W SK 9526 cotton-blend skirt — coordinated set: The W TS 57326 top and W SK 9526 skirt in the same 71/24/5 cotton-polyester-elastane black — a coordinated THOM KROM set with matching surface character (matte black) and matching breathability profile; different garment weights (0.2kg top, 0.45kg skirt) but visually and materially unified; the lightest complete outfit combination in the THOM KROM FW25/26 women's range at TEPHRA
• Under the THOM KROM padded jackets (W B 326 or W J 21326): The 0.2kg lightweight cotton top as the base layer beneath the padded quilted jacket; the cotton's natural breathability prevents heat accumulation between the top and the jacket's polyester fill; the top's fitted silhouette creates no excess fabric bulk at the torso beneath the jacket; the matte black cotton surface below the quilted polyamide-elastane jacket shell is a material-contrast layering within a tonal black look
• Base layer in a full THOM KROM women's look: Top → W SK 9326 or W SK 9526 skirt → W B 326 or W J 21326 padded jacket; the complete THOM KROM FW25/26 women's layered system; the cotton top as the breathable skin-contact foundation, the skirt as the lower-body midlayer, the padded jacket as the outer insulation; each layer with its own fabric category and surface character within the same black colour system
• As a standalone top in transitional conditions: The 0.2kg lightweight construction and cotton breathability make the W TS 57326 appropriate as a standalone piece in mild autumn conditions; the matte black reads as clean and composed without an outer layer at temperatures where the padded jacket is not needed

Care Instructions

• Machine wash cold on gentle cycle — the 71% cotton swells when wet; handle gently during and after washing; reshape at neckline and hem immediately after washing to maintain the top's cut geometry
• Tumble dry low or hang to dry — the 24% polyester significantly reduces shrinkage compared to pure cotton, but cold wash and low-heat drying preserve the 5% elastane's recovery properties; high-heat tumble drying accelerates elastane degradation; at 0.2kg the top dries quickly when hung
• Iron on low-medium heat while slightly damp — cotton responds well to ironing; avoid ironing directly over any elastane-rich zones (neckline, cuffs, hem band if present) on high heat
• Do not bleach — bleach damages elastane fibres and causes permanent colour damage to black cotton dye
• Store folded or hanging — at 0.2kg the top is compressible; avoid prolonged compression at the neckline seams which can deform the collar shape over time
