Bowen is a cool and casual top inspired by the classic baseball tee. This T-shirt features a straight cut, full-length raglan sleeves, and an elevated henley placket with a tapered neckband.

Bowen also features our gender-expansive fit, meaning it was developed and fit on both male and female bodies.

The member bonus features a short sleeve finished with a hem band for a classic ringer tee look.

Fabric and Fit

Fabric recommendations: Look for medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 25% of 2-way stretch, such as cotton jersey, bamboo or soy jersey blends, rib knit, and interlock knit.

Fabric qualities to look for: You don't need a fabric that's really stretchy to sew this tee. It’s perfect for more stable knits and great for color-blocking if you have scraps in your stash.

Fitting tips: Bowen has a straight cut. You might be tempted to blend between sizes to create more shaping, but for garments with a straight cut, trying to blend can change the design and the overall fit. Instead, select the largest size you’ll need, make a muslin, and see if you need to pinch out any areas to improve the fit.

Seamwork Style Ideas

Bowen is inspired by a classic 1970s baseball T-shirt. You can embrace this look with a nod to vintage, or you can style it to feel more modern.

For a 70s vibe, pair Bowen with the Chelsea jeans. If you need an extra layer, add the Audrey denim jacket.

For a modern, sporty look, wear Bowen with the Fallon pants and the Jesse vest.

For a classic casual look that never goes out of style, wear Bowen with the Tessa jeans and Denise coat.
