Raw Hem T-Shirts

A raw hem T-shirt leaves the lower edge visually unresolved. The line is cleaner, less formal and more exposed than a conventional finished hem. In the Dark Surf collection, that detail sits alongside washed cement-grey cotton, loose proportions and dropped shoulders. Nothing polished beyond recognition.

Explore the collection through men's raw hem T-shirts and women's raw hem T-shirts, or compare the two principal silhouettes below.

Snow wash, raw edge, loose structure

The Dark Surf raw hem T-shirt collection is built around two related designs: the Snow Wash Raw-Hem Boxy T-Shirt RT0058 and the Raw Edge Snow Washed Boxy T-Shirt RT0014. Both are listed in washed cement grey and made from 100% cotton. Each has thin fabric, a loose fit, dropped shoulders and a centre-chest print.

The shared language is deliberate: subdued colour, open proportions and an unfinished lower edge. The distinction is found mainly in the measurements. RT0058 has the shorter body of the two, while RT0014 extends further through the length and is offered across a broader listed size range. Choosing between them is less about decoration than the amount of space and length you want from the garment.

Snow Wash Raw-Hem Boxy T-Shirt RT0058

RT0058 is listed in sizes S to XL. Chest measurements run from 24.0 inches / 61 cm in S to 26.4 inches / 67 cm in XL. Length increases from 25.6 inches / 65 cm to 28.0 inches / 71 cm. The shoulders range from 22.4 inches / 57 cm to 24.8 inches / 63 cm.

This is the more compact option by listed length. Its loose fit and dropped shoulders retain width through the upper body, while the shorter measurement keeps the overall shape closer to a boxy profile. View the Snow Wash Raw-Hem Boxy T-Shirt RT0058.

Raw Edge Snow Washed Boxy T-Shirt RT0014

RT0014 is listed in sizes S to 2XL. Chest measurements begin at 24.8 inches / 63 cm in S and reach 28.0 inches / 71 cm in 2XL. Length runs from 27.2 inches / 69 cm to 30.3 inches / 77 cm, with shoulder measurements from 22.0 inches / 56 cm to 25.0 inches / 63.5 cm.

Compared with RT0058 in the corresponding listed sizes, RT0014 has a longer body. It is the relevant place to begin if you want the same washed-grey, raw-edge direction with added length or need the listed 2XL option. View the Raw Edge Snow Washed Boxy T-Shirt RT0014.

How to choose your size

Start with the product measurements rather than relying only on the size letter. Both shirts are described as loose fitting, and both use dropped shoulders, so the intended proportions already contain room. Compare the listed chest, length, shoulder and sleeve measurements with a T-shirt you own and wear regularly.

  • Chest: use this to judge the overall width and amount of space through the body.
  • Length: RT0058 ranges from 25.6 to 28.0 inches, while RT0014 ranges from 27.2 to 30.3 inches.
  • Shoulder: both styles carry an extended dropped-shoulder shape, but the measurements differ by style and size.
  • Sleeve: RT0058 ranges from 10.0 to 11.2 inches; RT0014 ranges from 10.6 to 12.2 inches.

If your preferred shirt falls between two sets of measurements, decide first whether width or length matters more to you. For a more compact body, compare RT0058. For additional body length and a larger maximum listed chest measurement, compare RT0014.

What to wear with a raw hem T-shirt

The washed cement-grey colour keeps the raw edge quiet rather than theatrical. Pair it with black cotton shorts for a restrained tonal break, or place it beneath a dark outer layer while leaving the unfinished hem visible. The boxy width also works with straighter lower-body shapes, where the shirt can remain loose instead of being tucked.

For an adjacent shape in black, explore the oversized drop shoulder T-shirt. For sleeveless proportions, see the French terry boxy tank tops.

Care for washed cotton

Both raw hem styles carry the same listed care instructions: machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, tumble dry low and iron at a low temperature. Avoid ironing directly over the print, and do not dry clean.

Minor differences can occur between production batches because of variations in fabric, dye and processing. That possibility is noted on the product pages and is common in apparel manufacturing. Check the individual product page before ordering for the complete current details.

The dark side of the coast

Black sand. Sea stacks. Fog. The raw hem T-shirt belongs to the same reduced landscape: washed colour, cotton structure and an edge left visible. No excess around the idea.
