Product Insights
Only & Sons' Faded Ribbed Jersey Tank is a 9.99 CAD budget cotton-based basic in a single pre-washed charcoal colorway, out of stock, built from a 95% cotton-5% spandex rib knit at 180–280 GSM—weightier than 120–200 GSM plain jersey—whose raised vertical ribs are a true knit-and-purl construction and read identically front and back. The rib stretches sideways across chest and waist while holding its length, rebounds to roughly 75–85% of original dimensions, stays opaque as a standalone top, and falls in a smooth column rather than bunching, with vertical ribs streamlining the torso and adding structure on slim or narrow-shouldered frames. Bound scoop neck, bound armholes and topstitched hem lie flat instead of curling; wide same-rib shoulder straps with stitched edging, a hem that falls to the hips and front-tuck wearability keep the tank on the standalone side, though the scoop neckline reads more toward a layered look than a crisp standalone collar. Recessed grooves and air channels make it breathable in summer, but the 5% spandex can hold moisture against the skin, the cotton rib pills where it rubs under the arms and along the straps, and care is machine wash cold, hang dry. The faded charcoal is an intentional pre-washed finish, not a color defect; all four sizes are priced identically, and the piece works over denim or as a base layer, positioned as a washed low-contrast layering staple rather than a crisp new-season basic, a budget cotton staple that sidesteps the label's poorly aging synthetic rib tanks.
Verified claims
- Knit construction
- The raised vertical ribs are a true knit-and-purl construction, like a cuff or collar.
- Stretch
- Stretches sideways to fit the chest and waist while holding its length.
- Shape retention
- Rib knit rebounds to roughly 75–85% of its original dimensions after stretching.
- Edge finish
- Bound scoop neck, bound armholes and topstitched hem lie flat instead of curling
- Surface finish
- The ribbed knit is two-faced, reading identically from front and back.
- Opacity
- The dense rib knit stays opaque across the chest as a standalone top.
- Fabric weight
- Rib knit at 180-280 GSM against 120-200 for plain jersey gives it a weightier hand
- Drape
- Ribs fall in a smooth column down the torso instead of bunching across it.
- Slimming effect
- Vertical ribs streamline the torso and add visual structure on slim or narrow-shouldered frames.
- Breathability
- Recessed grooves between the ribs let air through for breathable wear.
- Moisture management
- Rib micro-gaps let air through, though the 5% spandex can hold moisture against the skin.
- Material
- 95% cotton-5% spandex rib knit, a denser 180–280 GSM medium-weight knit.
- Layering versatility
- Wears on its own over denim and doubles as a base layer
- Brand positioning
- Positioned as a washed, low-contrast layering piece, not a crisp new-season basic
- Fading stability
- Pre-washed charcoal is an intentional faded finish rather than a colour defect
- Care
- Machine wash cold, hang dry, and expect some pilling under the arms.
- Pilling
- The cotton rib pills where it rubs, under the arms and along the straps
- Neckline
- The scoop neckline reads toward a layered look, not a crisp standalone collar
- Body length
- Hem falls to the hips, long enough to wear front-tucked as a standalone top
- Shoulder straps
- Wide shoulder straps in the same rib and stitched edging keep it on the standalone side
- Ventilation
- Ribbed jersey's raised ridges create air channels between fabric and skin, keeping the tank cooler in summer than a smooth knit.
- Brand tier
- A cotton-based budget basic, unlike the label's poorer-ageing synthetic tanks
- Brand reputation
- A budget-tier cotton staple that sidesteps the brand's poorly-aging synthetic rib tanks.

It has a scooped neckline front and back, wide and narrow shoulder straps, a straight fit with the hem falling at the hips, and visible rib-knit texture throughout.

It comes in Charcoal in sizes small through x-large. Note that Simons lists the fabric as 100 percent cotton jersey, while the brand's own product page gives the composition as 95 percent cotton and 5 percent elastane.[4,5,6,7] | Etched Stripe Tank: Choose this if you want a stretchy everyday tank in a cotton-rich knit: it is made of 95% cotton and 5% elastane stretch cotton jersey, which the retailer describes as very comfortable.

2 threads · r/AusFemaleFashion, r/malefashionadviceReddit users give mixed reviews of Only & Sons, praising the quality of some garments like jeans and jackets but warning that synthetic-blend ribbed tanks may age poorly.
General brand quality receives praise, but the sole mention of a ribbed tank from the brand was negative due to nylon material aging poorly; the specific product (Faded Ribbed Jersey Tank) may be at risk if it uses synthetic blends.

User warns against synthetic blends from Only, citing a ribbed tank that aged poorly
I have a cropped ribbed tank top that’s mainly nylon and it has aged terribly. So I wouldn’t recommend their plastic blends

It’s a Bestseller brand so quality should be comparable to J&J and Selected. The brands are more or less the same just tailored to different audiences.
