TOUGHMESH™ FABRIC — THE ITALIAN JOB

A featherweight training shirt that thrives during your hardest workouts and dries lightning fast. We built these tees to our exacting standards using proprietary, made-in-Italy ToughMesh™ fabric.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci

ToughMesh™ is our world-class, featherweight fabric milled at the foothills of the Italian Alps, not far from where da Vinci painted The Last Supper. It took us five years to develop, test and prove a fabric that could thrive in our way of life — no cost, time, or rigor was spared to create a line of apparel that’s tough enough to endure the demands of rucking and training and will dry long before you could drink your first beer, which will be well earned.

We’re proud of the outcome and hope you wear it hard.

Features

  • Lightweight, breathable, wrinkle-free, and quick drying performance fabric
  • Classic fit - patterned after our best selling Triblend T-shirts, then built from the ground up.

Specs and Materials

  • Black, Ranger Green,Red: 85% Nylon, 15% Elastane
  • Charcoal: 80% Nylon, 15% Elastane, 5% Polyester

About ToughMesh™:

  • “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - da Vinci. T’s transition easily from the driveway to the streets to the bar. With and without a ruck on your back.
  • ToughMesh™ weighs only 100GSM (grams per square meter).
  • That’s 30-40% less weight than normal performance fabrics.
  • To make the fabric tough enough, we use nylon (then add a little stretch). The polyester version repeatedly failed our testing and cost us an extra year that we’ll never get back.
  • Every roll of fabric takes 6 hours to complete, using 44 gauge needles. Standard fabric takes 45 minutes and uses 20 gauge needles. Quality takes time.
  • Mini-perforations are woven into the fabric to increase airflow, speed up dry time and decrease weight. They’re small and mighty but do not dominate the aesthetic of the shirt.
  • ToughMesh™ has a rating of UPF 35 - this means that you will get more protection from UV rays than a standard training shirt.

Charlotte ★★★★★

The featherweight feel caught me off guard in the best way—it’s like wearing nothing but still covers everything during a brutal HIIT session. Dried completely within minutes after I soaked it through, which is exactly what I needed for back-to-back workouts.

Ava H. ★★★★★

I’ve worn a lot of training tees, but this one is the first that feels like I’ve got nothing on during a heavy session—the featherweight fabric is that light. It’s been through three hard workouts and a wash cycle already, and it still dries in what feels like minutes, not hours. Exactly what I need

Eva J. ★★★★★

Sweat-soaked after an hour of intervals and this tee was dry by the time I got to my car—that Italian featherweight fabric really does live up to the "lightning fast" claim. The fit is snug without clinging, which I wasn't expecting from something this thin. Already ordered a second one.
