Box T-Shirt – Good Gooder Goodest

The Box T-Shirt is our take on the classic streetwear/workwear T-shirt, and a comfortable middle ground between an oversized silhouette and a slimmer regular fit tee. Its body has a boxy, rectangular shape with square-shaped sleeves. The Box T-Shirt is finished with a thick, snug-fitting neckband.

This iteration of the Box T-Shirt features our Good Gooder Goodest logo screen-printed on the left chest.

Since its initial release in 2018, the body of the Box T-Shirt has been cropped by 5cm. When we first released the Box tee, many of our customers asked why the body of the garment fitted so long. In response, we would tell them that Daniel based the initial pattern of the Box tee on his own lanky dimensions, causing the T-Shirt to be quite long in the body. That’s only half of the true story, though. To let you in on a little secret, the length of the tee was also motivated by Daniel’s hatred for plumber’s crack, and a crucial part of his scheme to wipe it off the face of the earth. However, when we opened Duck Duck Goose and started offering individual T-shirt amendments to customers, we found that while the Box tee prevented Daniel’s plumber’s crack comfortably, it overcompensated on those who didn’t share his proportions (basically everyone). Every day, we would get requests to have various lengths of material taken off the bodies of our Box Tees. Daniel eventually hesitantly decided to remove 5cm from the pattern – the biggest amount of length that he scientifically proved he could remove while staying true to his plan. You can consult the size guide to find the most optimal fit for you.

The 100% cotton textile used to make this T-shirt is sourced in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, spun into yarn in Pietermaritzburg, woven into fabric in Atlantis, Cape Town, and eventually cut, made and sewn in our heritage manufacturing facility in Woodstock, Cape Town. We pride ourselves in having a fully localised supply chain that is sustainable for domestic economies and reduces our carbon footprint, rather than using textiles with more air miles to their name.
