  • 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.

Shipping & Returns

Delivery — Standard: 9–14 business days, $5.99 (free on orders $100+). Priority: 7–9 business days, $12.99.

Made to order. Every EMPIRIC piece is produced after you order it in the size and color you choose, so we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for wrong size, fit preference, wrong color, wrong variant, or a change of mind — check the Size Guide and your measurements before ordering.

If we get something wrong, we'll make it right — damaged, defective, misprinted, or the wrong item or variant because of our error gets a free replacement or full refund, no cost to you. Full details: Shipping & Returns. Contact hello@empiricwear.com.

The Concept — Wolff's Law

Bone remodels along the load you place on it — apply it consistently and density increases; stop, and it regresses. That's Wolff's Law, not philosophy. The graphic: a lumbar vertebra in cross-section, one side loaded and dense, the other sparse.

Questions we actually get asked.

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

A close-to-body fit with a slight stretch, at true crop length. Runs S–L only — check the size guide below before ordering.

What's the production timeline?+

Made to order — it's printed after you order, so production adds a short lead time before it ships. Once it ships, Standard Delivery takes 9–14 business days (free on orders $100+); Priority Delivery takes 7–9 business days for $12.99.

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.

Perfect shirt! the print looks high quality and really clear and the fabric feels great. You can definitely work out in it, but it’s also great for everyday wear. The fit is perfect for me, somewhere between a baby-tee and a crop top. Love it!
