Quick comparison

Represent: the benchmark

The brothers George and Mike Heaton started Represent in Manchester in 2011. They began by screen printing tees for friends. Today the brand is known for vintage-washed heavy jersey and the Owners' Club line. It's the one the others here get compared to.

Fear of God Essentials: the closest match for basics

This is Jerry Lorenzo's everyday line. The colors are neutral and the fits are relaxed. Pick it if you want clean logo basics with no graphics.

Cole Buxton: the minimal one

Cole Buxton tees are 280 GSM and garment-washed, with a relaxed boxy fit and very little branding. It's the quietest option here.

YTHRAL (our brand)

If you want Represent's weight and cut with a real design on your back, this is where we fit. Every YTHRAL tee has the name at front and an original graphic at back, and Night Gaze and Emergence are puff printed.

The tees are 240 GSM 100% cotton with an oversized fit and dropped shoulders. It's not for you if you want plain basics or a big-name logo. See the tees.
