Expert Notes

The Crossed Dagger Apparel Originals Crop Tee carries an embroidered Originals design rather than a print, giving the black colourway a cleaner, more considered finish. It keeps the same mid weight, 180g combed cotton build as the brand's standard tee, with a touch of viscose in the heather shades, neck ribbing, shoulder to shoulder tape and double needle hems, and the fabric is preshrunk to help limit shrinkage in the wash. The cropped length sits shorter than a regular tee while the body keeps a regular fit, so it is worth checking the drop against a tee you already own. It works well with high waisted jeans or shorts for everyday streetwear and car meet outfits.

Perfect For / Suitable Surfaces

  • Car meets
  • Car shows
  • Everyday casual wear
  • Weekend wear
  • Layering with jackets
  • Casual outings

Caution: This is casual clothing, not protective workwear. The cropped length sits above the waist, so keep it clear of hot surfaces or moving machinery when working on a car.
