Prime Long Sleeve T-shirt

A long-sleeved top for men in a stretchy polyamide-elastane knit, cut close to the body so it layers cleanly under a shirt or wears on its own. The eight per cent elastane gives it enough give to move with you without loosening at the cuffs or hem.

If you want a plain black long-sleeve that does the everyday work, from a desk day to a night out, this is a straightforward pick. The stretch fabric is the main reason to reach for it: it holds a slim line and springs back rather than bagging.

Wear it under a jacket or open shirt, or straight with jeans or chinos. In black it pairs with just about anything else already in the drawer.
