One shirt, built for anywhere on Earth

Our Planet Earth Shirt is one of our most iconic and trusted pieces of gear. Over the last 5 years it’s seen our customers safely through deserts, mega-cities, rainforests, and mountains around the world. And for one guy, it’s his go-to gear for wrestling snakes in the Amazon River.

There are over 510 million square kilometres on the surface of Earth, and the Planet Earth Shirt is designed to work in every single one of them.

How building a Planet Earth Shirt works

Designing and building a shirt that can truly thrive in any terrain on earth has to be an exercise in no expense spared craftsmanship. Hundreds of separate construction processes, over 35,000 stitches, and more man hours than almost anything else in your wardrobe go into making this shirt a technical masterpiece. With materials starting their journey on the banks of the Nile Delta, before being woven at a cutting-edge fabric mill in Italy, each shirt is then assembled in one of the most advanced factories in the world. 

Built with the softest cotton from the Nile Delta

The Lightweight edition of the Planet Earth Shirt is designed to keep you cool in extreme heat. So each shirt starts with a rare cotton called Karnak Menoufi. One of the lightest, softest fabrics on the planet, Karnak Menoufi is a silk-like cotton that’s only found in the Nile Delta, and only grows in the years when the rain, soil and wind conditions are perfect.

We turn cotton into a high performance fabric

While Karnak Menoufi is already extremely soft and robust, we’ve added durability and stretch by combining the cotton with elastane and an ultrafine nylon in Italy. Together the combination is so soft and lightweight that it has to be spun and woven with the same techniques and on the same looms that are used for silk. The result is an advanced, abrasion resistant material which feels almost silk-like next to your skin.
