Vivienne Westwood
Hebo Ribbed T-Shirt
The Hebo Ribbed T-Shirt is a long-sleeve, fitted top from Vivienne Westwood made from a cotton-blend ribbed jersey with features including an asymmetric boat neckline, dropped shoulders, a diagonal draped back seam, and a small multicolor embroidered chest logo. It functions as an everyday top, and customer discussions indicate that the plain jersey version has minimal stretch, so selecting a usual size is recommended for a form-fitting look.

Product Insights
The Hebo Ribbed T-Shirt by Vivienne Westwood offers an asymmetric sculptural silhouette via oblique shoulder draping, a costly pattern-making technique, rooted in 1970s punk fashion history. Made from 95% cotton and 5% elastane ribbed jersey, it provides noticeable stretch for ease of movement and all-day day-to-night versatility, fitting true to size for a tight, waist-flattering silhouette (or size up for a relaxed look). At CAD 199.95, it undercuts the typical CAD 300 starting price for designer asymmetric tops, but is currently out of stock.

Everyday tee worn for a close, waist-flattering fit

Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Hebo Ribbed T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a designer long-sleeve ribbed top with an asymmetric, wide boat neckline, dropped shoulders, and a diagonal draped seam across the back for a sense of movement. It is a fitted style in ribbed stretch jersey (95% cotton, 5% elastane) with a small multicolor embroidered logo on the left chest, offered in small, medium, and large. Note that a Reddit commenter sizing the Hebo top found the plain jersey fabrication has little stretch, though other fabrications offer a bit more, and one owner described it as looking and feeling amazing.[1,2,3,4,5] | Hebo T-Shirt: Choose this if you want a signature Vivienne Westwood statement top with an asymmetric, draped take on the classic tee: a slash-inspired draped neckline, twisted detailing at the back, a fitted slightly cropped shape, and the brand's orb embroidery on the left chest. It is made of 100% organic cotton jersey with some stretch and is offered in SMALL, MEDIUM, and LARGE; note that one wearer reports the plain jersey version has little stretch, more like a standard T-shirt material, and takes their true size for a tight, waist-flattering fit.

User praises Hebo top while discussing unflattering VW top
I'm thinking about getting a drunken jacket bc that's what I was originally going to get and (if it fits similarly) all the issues I have with the top I'd personally like in a jacket. It's really only mildly annoying. I also got a hebo top and it looks and feels amazing :)

Sizing advice for Hebo top
Hi, the hebo top in the plain jersey doesn’t have much stretch it’s like a standard T-shirt material. The other fabrications have a bit more stretch. I am my true size but I want it to be quite a tight fit to flatter the waist.
