There's something deeply satisfying about a tee that feels substantial when you pick it up. The Shield Garment Dyed Tee from Deus is made from heavyweight recycled cotton jersey that has proper heft to it – none of that can-you-see-my-nips nonsense you get with cheaper tees. The pigment garment dye process gives it that beautifully uneven, sun-bleached appearance that would normally take months of wearing and washing to achieve naturally. That little embroidered chest logo keeps things understated rather than shouty, and the heavy enzyme stonewash means it feels broken-in from day one. Cut in a relaxed box fit that's roomy without looking like you've borrowed your dad's duds, it's the sort of tee that’s always going to be either on your back or in your washing basket.
Deus runs slightly bigger so we would recommend sizing down from your usual size. Oversized styles run two sizes bigger than your usual size.

How to measure?
What do you get when you cross a legendary surfwear entrepreneur with a serious motorcycle addiction and a healthy disregard for tribal boundaries? Well, you get Deus ex Machina – the brand that's been proving since 2006 that there's no rule saying you can't love both the roar of a café racer and the whisper of a perfect barrel.
Founded by Dare Jennings (he of iconic surf brand Mambo), Deus started life as a custom motorbike workshop and coffee house in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown. The radical idea? Instead of shoehorning people into outdoor tribes – bikers, surfers, skaters, cyclists or whatever – why not just celebrate whatever gets you fired up? Their workshop soon transformed into a ‘run-what-you-brung’ social and creative space, known locally as the ‘Temple of Enthusiasm’.
From those early days of engine oil, freshly brewed coffee and dawn raids on the Pacific Ocean, Deus has grown into a global phenomenon. Their clothing captures that same anything-goes spirit – sun-bleached graphics that look like they've survived their fair share of backroad adventures, vintage-inspired cuts that work equally well on the beach or in the workshop, and a lived-in aesthetic that’s catnip to the adventurous. Because at the end of the day, whether you’re into one particular outdoor activity or all of them – as Deus would say, ‘it's all the same juice’.
