Every CORE tee is cut from the same cloth, so choose the CORE Crew Tee if you want one tee that works everywhere. Choose the V-Neck for a sharper, more open neckline, the Long Sleeve for cooler days and layering, and the Sleeveless for heat and workouts. All four are 180 GSM cotton in a unisex regular fit, so you are choosing a shape, not a fabric.
One cloth, four cuts
The CORE tee family is built on a single idea: get the cloth right once, then change only what you need to. Every CORE tee is a 180 GSM cotton, mid-weight and soft, cut in a unisex regular fit. That means the fabric feel is the same across all four. What changes is what happens at the neck and the arm, and those two details decide when and how you will wear each one.
If you want to know what unisex regular fit means in practice, our short explainer on unisex regular fit is a good place to begin.

The Crew Tee: the CORE tee to start with
The crew neck is the classic T-shirt neckline, the one almost everyone already owns and wears. It sits close to the base of the neck, frames the face evenly and disappears under a hoodie or overshirt. The CORE Crew Tee is described as mid-weight and soft from the first wear, and that comes across in daily use: it does not feel stiff, and it does not feel thin.
Wear it when
- You want a tee that works alone, under a layer, or tucked in.
- You are building a first set of pieces and want one that pairs with everything.
- You want the lowest price in the family. It is Rs 749.
The V-Neck Tee: a sharper line
The V-neck opens the collar area. It lengthens the neck and gives the chest a little more space, which is why it is often the tee people choose when they want to look a touch more put together. The CORE V-Neck Tee has, in the product description’s own words, a sharp, clean neckline. It is Rs 799.
Wear it when
- You want a tee that looks better on its own, without a jacket over it.
- You wear a chain, a pendant or glasses hanging from the collar.
- You want a neckline that stays visible under an open shirt.
A small warning: a V-neck shows what is under it. If you layer a crew tee below, the round collar will peek out. Wear it as your base layer and it will do what it is meant to do.
The Long Sleeve Tee: for cooler days
The CORE Long Sleeve Tee keeps the clean crew neck and adds sleeves. It is the CORE tee for air-conditioned rooms, early mornings and the months when a short-sleeve tee alone is not quite enough. It is offered in Noor Black, Rui White, Agni Red and Arav Green, the widest colour range in the family. Rs 799.
It also works as a light layer. Under a short-sleeve tee it makes a stacked look; under a hoodie it adds warmth without bulk. For more on layering in offices, see how to layer for an air-conditioned office.
The Sleeveless Tee: for heat and movement
Where the others cover the arm, this one lets it go. The CORE Sleeveless Tee is a 180 GSM cotton sleeveless tee, light and breathable. It is the CORE tee for hot afternoons, gym sessions and anything where your shoulders need to move freely. It is offered in Noor Black and Rui White. Rs 749.
It also layers well. Worn under an open zip hoodie or shirt, it gives a clean vest line. For a fuller look at how to wear it in summer, read tank tops and sleeveless tees for Indian summers.
How to choose a CORE tee in three questions
- Where will you wear it most? If the answer is “everywhere”, choose the Crew. If it is an office, choose the Long Sleeve or V-Neck. If it is outdoors in heat, choose the Sleeveless.
- Will it be alone or under something? Alone, the V-Neck stands out. Under a layer, the Crew is the calmest.
- How warm is your city? In a warm city the Sleeveless and Crew earn their place. In a cooler one, the Long Sleeve does the most work.
What stays the same
Since every CORE tee shares a cloth, they share a lot of qualities. They are all mid-weight, all soft from the first wear, and all cut in the same relaxed way. This makes mixing easy. You can reserve two CORE tee cuts and wear them in rotation, and because the colours are the same six-colour system used across the house, they will sit well with your other pieces. If you like the idea, see our article on the six-colour wardrobe system.
A simple set of two or three
- Two tees: Crew in Noor Black and Long Sleeve in Rui White. Together they cover most days and both work under a hoodie.
- Three tees: add the Sleeveless in Rui White or Noor Black for hot weeks and workouts.
- A dressier pick: the V-Neck in Agni Red, for when you want colour that stays clean.
Care that keeps the shape
A plain cotton CORE tee lasts for years if you treat it well. Wash it inside out in cold water, dry it in shade, and avoid heat. That keeps the colour deep and the neckline flat. Our post on keeping white tees white has more details for the lighter colours.
Is a bigger neckline or a longer sleeve worth the extra Rs 50?
The V-Neck and Long Sleeve are Rs 799, Rs 50 above the Crew and Sleeveless. That small difference reflects the extra cutting and stitching in a neckline or a sleeve. In use it is easy to justify if you know you will wear the piece often. Ask yourself how many days in a month you would reach for it. If the answer is more than a handful, the difference is a few rupees per wear. Our piece on cost per wear shows how to do the sum.
Making the call
If you are still unsure which CORE tee to pick, go with the Crew. It is the most flexible, the lowest priced and the easiest to wear with what you already own. Add another cut once you have noticed what you keep wanting from it: a sharper neck, longer sleeves or more air.
Each tee is made to order in India. Shipping is free across India. Every product page has a Size guide link next to the size options with that piece’s own measurements.
