Product Insights
The Brad Tone-On-Tone Seams T-Shirt by Rick Owens translates the brand's architectural outerwear DNA into a lightweight tee through deliberate exposed seams that define its boxy, cropped fit and shift focus from color to form and texture. Priced at 375 CAD and made in Italy, its visible thick-stitch seams embody an anti-industrial signature while supporting layering, especially under long coats where the cropped cut keeps the torso visible. The monochromatic effect and shoulder-spine seam placement make the silhouette legible from a distance, though the fit runs one size large and requires cold washing to prevent shrinkage. As the most conventional Rick Owens tee silhouette, it avoids extreme drape or crop, offering an accessible entry point with standardized sizing from S to XL.

Brad tee fit comparison to Level tee and suitability for shorter wearers
don't have any other tees but I've tried level tees and materials and constructions exactly the same. the difference is that the Brad's cut is closer to a boxy crop that's proportioned to a normal fit. for someone who's 5'7" it's much more wearable than longlines, hem just goes below my hip bone.

Brad tee sizing and fit comparison to Level tee
Level is shorter smaller tighter, I have Brad in a M and fits like a “regular” large tee. Level in a M looks like I’m wearing an ccs lol
