  • Built to Last — 100 Wash Cycles
  • Sharp Print, Zero Peeling
  • Lightweight Cotton, Built to Train

Not motivation. Principles. Built for people who understand the difference between slogans and science.

Fabric & Fit

A seamless, athleisure-weight crop, built for training and everyday wear. 5.9 oz, 100% cotton, seamless construction — no side seams, with a slight stretch that moves with you.

  • Seamless knit — constructed without side seams, so there's nothing to chafe or dig in during training.
  • Slight stretch — moves with you through a set or a full day, without feeling stiff.
  • Close-to-body fit, true crop length — runs S–L only; check the size chart above before ordering.
  • Lighter hand than the 230 GSM tees — built for warm-weather layering and gym wear, not for warmth.

Care: machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colors. No bleach. Tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print.

Design is printed on the back.

A seamless, athleisure-weight crop. A different feel from our original crop tee.

CONTROL RUNS DEEP., on a thinner, seamless crop blank built for movement — no side seams, a slight stretch, a lighter hand than our original cotton crop. Same back print, a genuinely different fabric character underneath it. Available in Black.

Questions we actually get asked.

How does the fit run, and what sizes are available?+

Closer to the body than our original crop, with a slight stretch. This blank currently runs S–L only — check the size guide below before ordering.

What's the production timeline?+

Made to order. This is a limited early-access piece, not general inventory — please allow additional processing time before it ships.

Can I return it?+

Made to order for you, so we're not able to offer returns or exchanges for sizing, fit, or a change of mind — check the Size Guide before you order. If we get something wrong (damaged, defective, or misprinted), we'll make it right at no cost to you. Email hello@empiricwear.com to start.

The Concept

Control comes from deeper than what you can see — though not only from there. The deep stabilizers along the spine play a real role in trunk control and positioning, and they tend to get overlooked because the superficial muscles are the ones you can flex and see in a mirror. Both layers contribute; the deep system just rarely gets the credit. The back print draws the layer that's easiest to forget — not a claim that it's the only one that matters, just the one usually left out of the picture.
