A stretch-friendly tee built for school days, playground time, and everything in between.
Made from 57% Cotton, 37% Polyester, and 5% Spandex at 180 GSM, the Active Cotton Tee blends natural comfort with stretch and durability. A moisture-wicking and anti-microbial finish handles the demands of a full school day — from sitting through class to sprinting at break.
- Cotton-forward comfort — 57% cotton gives a natural, breathable feel without sacrificing performance.
- Stretch in every direction — 5% spandex for unrestricted movement at school and play.
- Moisture-wicking finish — moves sweat away from skin to keep your child comfortable through active hours.
- Anti-microbial finish — helps reduce odour through long school days and after-school play.
- OEKO-TEX Standard 100 compliant — azo-free dyes, skin-safe pH 4.5–7.0.
Available in Stone Blue, White, and Garnet — three clean colours that work just as well on a school morning as a weekend afternoon.
Fit & Size
Fit & Size
An active, close-but-comfortable fit — not tight, with enough structure through the body for a neat look at school.
Use our Size Guide and match by chest and height. The spandex content gives some flexibility across sizes, but measuring first gives the best result.
If your child is between sizes or prefers more room for active movement, we recommend sizing up.
Fabric & Care
Fabric & Care
Fabric: 57% Cotton / 37% Polyester / 5% Spandex, 180 GSM. Moisture-wicking and anti-microbial finish applied. Neck rib: 95% combed cotton / 5% elastane, 1×1 rib, 250 GSM.
Care: Machine wash cold, gentle cycle. Wash with similar colours. Do not bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or line dry in shade. Cool iron if needed. Do not dry clean.
Avoid fabric softener and high-heat drying — both reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking and anti-microbial finish over time.

Product FAQs
Product FAQs
How is this different from the Comfort Tee?
The Active Cotton Tee adds polyester and spandex to the fabric mix, giving it stretch, a moisture-wicking finish, and an anti-microbial treatment — better suited to active school days and sport than the pure-cotton Comfort Tee.
Is it comfortable for all-day school wear?
Yes — the 57% cotton content keeps the hand feel natural and breathable, while the spandex gives enough stretch for a full day of sitting, moving, and playing.
Does the moisture-wicking finish stay after washing?
Yes, across normal machine wash cycles at cold temperatures. Avoid bleach and high heat, which degrade the finish faster.
What does anti-microbial mean for a kids' tee?
The anti-microbial finish helps reduce the growth of odour-causing bacteria on the fabric — useful for longer school days and active play.
Can I use fabric softener?
We recommend avoiding it. Fabric softener can reduce the effectiveness of the moisture-wicking finish over time.
