We’ve all been tempted by those ₹199 t-shirts — flashy discounts, promising “premium cotton” and “ultra comfort.” And maybe you’ve bought them, worn them twice, and realised... they don’t breathe, they don’t last, and they definitely don’t feel premium. Isn't it a valid reason why modern men are inching towards branded t-shirts for their everyday styling needs?
So, what makes a branded t-shirt different? Why do some tees cost more than others — and are they really worth it?
Let’s break it down. No jargon. No fluff. Here we put up just facts that help you make smarter choices with your money, wardrobe, and comfort.
🧵 It’s Not Just a T-Shirt. It’s What It’s Made Of.
When you buy a branded t-shirt, you’re not just paying for a logo — you’re paying for everything that happens behind the scenes: fabric, finish, fit, feel, and long-term wearability.
Here’s what separates a great t-shirt from a forgettable one:
✅ Fabric Quality You Can Feel
-
Super Combed Cotton: Stronger, softer, smoother
-
Pre-Shrunk: Holds size and fit even after multiple washes
-
Bio-Washed: No pilling, no fading
-
Breathable GSM: 180 to 240 GSM depending on style and fit — not flimsy, not suffocating
Curious Case uses 100% super combed cotton for all its regular and oversized t-shirts — treated for softness and strength from day one.

Fit That Feels Like It Was Made for You
Cheap t-shirts often come in generic sizes — but branded tees are built on real fit data. We know how an oversized tee should drape. We understand how a regular fit should taper at the sleeves without suffocating your arms.
At Curious Case, every fit is tested, refined, and true to size:
-
Classic T-Shirts: Regular fit in S to 3XL
-
Oversized T-Shirts: Drop shoulder fit in XS to 2XL
-
Polo T-Shirts: Structured comfort, smart-casual finish
-
Full Sleeve T-Shirts: Available in wide size ranges from S to 3XL
📏 Detailed size charts are available on every product page — so you always pick right the first time.
🎨 Style That Doesn’t Try Too Hard
Ever worn a t-shirt that feels... off? Maybe the neck stretches out, the sleeves flare weirdly, or the print looks like clip art?
Branded t-shirts are built with clean and thoughtful designs. That means:
-
Minimalist Plains: Timeless, versatile, and never out of place
-
Typography & Graphic Prints: Bold but tasteful — made for Indian streetwear
-
Back Prints: Small front, statement back — especially for oversized fits
-
Embroidery Logos: Subtle detail, stitched in, not slapped on

🧼 Wash, Wear, Repeat — And Still Looks Fresh
Here’s what happens to most cheap t-shirts after a few washes:
-
Their colour fades
-
The neck stretches
-
Print cracks
-
Fabric pills (those annoying tiny balls)
-
The t-shirts loose their structure
With a well-made branded tee, you skip all these frustrating elements. Bio-washed cotton, pre-shrunk fabric, and quality prints/embroidery mean your t-shirt stays wearable for longer — saving you money in the long run.
Buying 1 branded t-shirt that lasts a year is much better than buying 3 tees that last for 3 months each only. The first option is clearly a better and logical choice for your wallet and the planet.
