Reversible Velour Checkers Running T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a reversible long-sleeve layer with two looks in one: a classic athletic jersey on one side and, per the merchant, a bolder reverse covered in small velour checker squares. It is made of 100% recycled polyester in black, cut in a regular fit with micromesh side inserts, and is offered in sizes small through extra large. Note that the velour checker side is described in promotional terms as a unique geometric texture, and the fit appears relaxed on one model but form-fitting on another.[1,2,3]Tone-On-Tone Logo Long T-Shirt: Choose this for the fashion-conscious shopper seeking a monochromatic minimalist essential with an elongated, relaxed fit. Crafted from soft 100% cotton jersey, it features a subtle, tone-on-tone heat-transfer logo and a crew neck. To maintain its condition, note that the garment must be dried flat in the shade rather than tumble dried.[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]Micro-Perforated Running T-Shirt: Choose this if you want an ultra-lightweight running tee in a relaxed fit, made from flowy, silky 100% recycled polyester with micro-perforated fabric and a water-repellent finish for comfort and performance on the move. It features side vents, a narrow ribbed crewneck, and raw-cut trim designed to slightly fray over time for a lived-in look, with Y-3 logo patches on the back and no visible front branding. It comes in black in sizes small to extra-large.[11,12,13,14,15,16]
