There are producers aplenty that claim to manufacture the perfect T-shirt. Some suggest theirs will age like fine wine, while others insist their tops are the best fitting, flush across the chest and just right around the waist. Cuts instead favors customizability. The brand’s designs are simple, yes—minimalist, most would argue—but they’re cut (pun intended) from a proprietary fabric designed for the “sport of business.”
All of Cut's pieces are made from Pyca, the aforementioned ultra-premium, high stretch fabric born from a tri-blend of materials: cotton, polyester, and rayon. This combination offers wrinkle protection, color retention and long-term softness. (One won’t crease if you crumple it in your bag; fade if you wash it; or pill if you wear it often.) Plus, I found, through a few weeks of testing, the T-shirts retained their shape, even when stretching them while exercising.
While vintage T-shirts might be (and have sort of always been) the rage, whether for their worn in feel or aesthetic, a practical, performing top proves essential, even if reserved for workouts or weekends off. Cuts makes modern, minimalist shirts in a suite of cuts and styles. Their T-shirts come in crew, v-neck or henley necklines, and, at the bottom, in a classic, curved style, split down the side or elongated (for an oversized fit). A shirt for every function and occasion!
Cuts’ success is rooted in its ability to cater to a wide array of customers—and the challenges of their day-to-day. Yes, the brand has some high-profile ambassadors, but the bulk of their base is guys like you and me. Thus, Cuts has made finding the right T-shirt easy. You’re able to pick your color (of which there are dozens divided into two categories, Staples and Seasonal) and the two most prominent design features, the neck and hem.

Cuts has certainly caught on with athletes: NBA players Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmp and Damian Lilliard have been seen sporting the brand’s designs. So too have NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Rob Gronkowski. They rely on Cuts’ high performance apparel for the in-between moments: lunch between practice, the interviews after, and even errands (stars, they're just like us)! GQ called it "the only shirt worth wearing."
Both styles I tried felt tailored: tighter in the armpits than most tees and slimmer through the sleeves. They pull nicely across the chest, while the shoulders feel snug and proportionate. While the curved hem is stylish and trendy, I really love the split hem, which offers a more traditional (although still modern) look and feel. Whether you’re working in a startup where employees favor labels like Lululemon and Everlane or stocking up on summer essentials—be it for outdoor sports or laid back bar dates—Cuts has comfortable shirts that emphasize fit and functionality.
