Adidas 3 Stripe T-Shirt
Archival Heritage: The adidas Originals 3-Stripes Tee "Black" Experience definitive 1970s terrace pedigree and an authentic athletic profile engineered to bridge five decades of streetwear culture. First introduced in 1973, the CW1202 represents one of the most recognizable casual garments in sports history, faithfully reproduced from the brand's archive for modern daily rotations. A deep, saturated "Black" single jersey foundation is framed by crisp white engineered 3-Stripes extending across sporty raglan sleeves and anchored by an intricately embroidered Trefoil on the chest, delivering an understated, vintage athletic colour story steeped in European casual heritage.
Benefits: Engineered for effortless everyday layering, smart-casual street styling, and warm-weather transit, this slim-fitting tee is woven from pure 100% cotton single jersey that provides a soft, breathable hand feel against the skin. The heritage raglan sleeve pattern extends diagonally from the ribbed collar directly to the underarms, eliminating standard top-shoulder seam friction to grant the unrestricted upper-body mobility and clean shoulder drape required for day-long comfort. Finished with structured ribbed trims at the collar and sleeve cuffs, this shirt maintains its precise, tailored silhouette after repeated wears and washes.
Key Features:
-
100% Cotton Single Jersey: Natural, lightweight cotton knit engineered for natural breathability, all-day softness, and reliable daily shape retention.
-
Vintage Raglan Sleeve Cut: Diagonal seam construction extending from the neck to the underarm, engineered to eliminate abrasive shoulder seams and enhance arm articulation.
-
Signature Applied 3-Stripes: Authentic contrast fabric tape stripes running the full length of each sleeve for unmistakable archival adidas branding.
-
Embroidered Trefoil Emblem: Precision high-density stitchwork positioned over the left chest, preserving original 1973 retro identity.
-
Ribbed Crewneck & Cuffs: Elasticated flat-knit ribbing around the neck and sleeve hems designed to hug the arms comfortably and prevent collar sagging over time.
-
Form-Fitting Slim Tailoring: Contoured cut designed to trace close to the chest, torso, and bicep for a modern, athletic silhouette.

Buyer Guidance & Fit Profile:
-
Who This Product Is Best Suited For: Ideal for terrace casuals, vintage sportswear enthusiasts, and minimalists looking for a clean, tailored athletic tee that forms the cornerstone of an authentic streetwear wardrobe. Pairs seamlessly with vintage dark-wash or raw denim, tapered track pants, casual cotton chinos, and archival terrace trainers such as the Samba, Gazelle, Spezial, or Hamburg. Not intended for technical high-output distance running or intense gym workouts where moisture-wicking synthetic performance fabrics are preferred.
-
Fit & Sizing Determination: Fits True to Size (TTS) in an authentic, tailored Slim Fit. The cut sits close to the torso and arms with structured ribbed cuffs that hug the bicep. Wearers with broad shoulders, a muscular chest, or those who prefer a looser, traditional regular drape should consider stepping one size up.
-
Recommended Conditions & Activities: Optimised for warm-weather spring and summer wear, casual office environments, matchday gatherings, and urban daily commutes in mild to warm conditions. Care Recommendation: Turn the tee inside out before washing to protect the embroidered Trefoil and contrast 3-Stripes; machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with like dark colours; line dry in the shade to prevent natural cotton shrinkage and maintain the deep black dye integrity.
