Drop + Velva Sheen Crew Tee (2-Pack)

A tee shirt is an essential. It’s a base layer and standalone piece. It should work in any setting, and it shouldn’t let you down. These standards come together in the Drop + Velva Sheen Crew Tee: an American classic designed with input from the Drop community. Crafted from seed to sew in the USA, this tee features 100-percent carded cotton with seam-free tubular knitting—plus an exclusive mid-weight fabrication and lengthened sleeves, new design elements prompted by input from Drop members. Together with Velva Sheen, we’re setting a new standard in comfort, quality, and style. 

Over the course of a century, not much has changed for Velva Sheen tee shirts—and that’s a good thing. Two key elements, USA-sourced cotton and tubular knitting, have defined these time-honored tees from the very beginning. Cotton guarantees comfort and breathability, while tubular knitting eliminates side seams to create a clean look. On the Drop + Velva Sheen Crew Tee, we’ve incorporated these features and added a few of our own. Forever in search of the perfect feel and fit, we worked closely with Velva Sheen to implement an exclusive open-ended yarn knit that adds just the right amount of structure while adapting to almost any body type. Listening to our community of inspired enthusiasts, we also lengthened the sleeves for an updated aesthetic.

The Velva Sheen story starts in Cincinnati, Ohio, where the company was founded in 1932 as an all-purpose apparel manufacturer for colleges, camps, schools, and the United States military. From the very beginning, Velva Sheen held fast to a lofty standard of quality. Rather than settle, the company never compromised on its American sourcing and venerated designs. Today, Velva Sheen is owned by the esteemed Japanese company Topwin, who has stayed true to the brand’s identity by sourcing and manufacturing in America using the same high-quality materials and designs. Velva Sheen continues its tradition of excellence crafting tee shirts and apparel in its Southern California factory.
