Fabric & Fit
Fabric & Fit
100% cotton, 420 GSM, garment-washed after construction — genuinely heavier than the Essential, with a soft, already-broken-in hand from the first wear.
- Built for the day, not just the photo — substantial enough to move with you from a full clinic shift to a heavy training session, dense enough to hold its shape under real use.
- Garment-washed finish — every piece is individually washed as part of construction; expect natural variation piece to piece. That's intended character, not inconsistency.
- Ribbed cuffs and hem — hold their shape and lock in warmth wash after wash.
- EMPIRIC's oversized fit — true to size for the intended drape; check this product's own size chart rather than assuming your usual EMPIRIC size carries over.
- Available S–3XL — see the size chart for exact measurements.
Care: machine wash cold, inside out, with similar colors. No bleach. Tumble dry low. Do not iron directly on the print.

The Concept — Wolff's Law
Bone remodels along the load placed on it — apply it consistently and density increases; stop, and it regresses. That’s Wolff’s Law, and it’s the principle EMPIRIC started on.
Individually garment-washed. Subtle variation in fade and texture between pieces is part of the character — not a flaw.
