What Materials Do You Actually Use?

Most of our pieces are 100% cotton, 240 GSM, with a DTG print. That is true for most of our T-shirts. It is not true for everything we make, and each product page tells you which piece is which.

Every product page has a Fabric line. On the Transmission T-shirt it says 100% cotton. On the Icon shirt it says 92% viscose, 8% polyester. Both are black, both are oversized, and they are not the same cloth. Read that line first.

T-shirts: Cotton, 240 GSM

Wicked started with five printed T-shirts, and the T-shirt is still where cotton matters most. The Transmission and most of our men's T-shirts are 100% cotton at 240 GSM. GSM is grams per square metre, the weight of the fabric.

Not every T-shirt is 240. Three of them are 200 GSM, and the Weight line on their pages says so.

The Print Is DTG

DTG means direct-to-garment: the design is printed straight onto the fabric. We print on our own DTG printer in the atelier. Nothing on our garments is hand-printed.

On the shirts, the print comes before the sewing. We cut the pattern pieces, pretreat them, print them, cure the print, and only then sew the shirt. Where a piece is embroidered, that is done on the embroidery machine in our atelier too.

Shirts: Cotton Satin and Viscose

Many of our shirts are cotton satin: 95% cotton, 5% lycra. The Mono shirt is one of them, deep black, with short sleeves and a classic collar. Others are 100% cotton.

Some shirts are viscose, like the Icon and the Born Against shirt, both 92% viscose, 8% polyester. The Born Against is 180 GSM. The Icon page describes its fabric as fluid, with a smooth surface.

Jackets and Heavier Pieces

The Arcane jacket is coated cotton, 400 GSM, in matte black. Some of our sweatshirts and vests go up to 500 GSM cotton.

The parts that are not fabric are chosen as well. The buttons and zipper pulls that carry the 33 mark come from suppliers who work in small minimum orders. Some pieces are dyed in the atelier, in waterbased dye baths.

Where It Is Made

We make the pieces in our atelier in Constanta, Romania, and we make them in small batches. The patterns are ours too.

Before You Order

• Read the Fabric line: it gives the fibres in percent.
• Read the Weight line where there is one: 240 GSM on most T-shirts, 200 on three.
• Read the Fit line, then check which size to order.

The Transmission says 100% cotton. The Icon says 92% viscose. Both lines are on the page before you pay.
