A standard tee runs somewhere between 140 and 180 GSM. Heavyweight starts around 220. By the time you reach 330 it stops behaving like a t-shirt and starts behaving like a garment: it holds its shape, drapes instead of clinging, and survives a hundred washes without going translucent.

Sizing by build. If you're lean, most heavyweight pieces will wear slightly large on you, and the instinct is to size down. Resist it: buy true to size and let the structure of the garment give you shape, because sizing down costs you the drape that made the piece look intentional.
If you're athletic or broad through the chest and shoulders, true to size is usually correct, but check the shoulder seam before anything else, since it's the one measurement no tailor can fix for you.
If you carry weight through the middle, size for your torso rather than your chest and favour a straight cut over anything tapered. And when you're genuinely between sizes on a heavier piece, size up. You can always let a garment breathe. You can't add room that was never cut into it.
WORN BY
From the Founders
ALTAR didn't start as a brand idea. It started as a reckoning.
One of us spent a decade as a full time recording artist. Touring, creating, building a name, then watching the momentum slow and the industry shift. What came out of it was a harder question: what am I building that actually lasts?
This is the answer. Every piece is designed with care. Every release is limited on purpose. Beauty Through Sacrifice is our way of saying that the things worth having cost something to make.
Shopé and Ace, founders
IN THEIR WORDS
From the texture to the design to the structure, you can tell it was created with a lot of intentionality. And whenever I put it on, I get this feeling of effortless confidence when I enter into any space. I just wanna encourage you to go out and get one so you can experience it for yourself.
