Bassike
Buying a T-shirt is kind of like choosing a pizza base. Stay with me now. Imagine yourself walking up to the local pizza store. You're hungry, damn hungry and you want something basic, but something that can (if necessary) also handle the toppings you crave such as peppers, aubergine and the perfect jeans, ahem, sorry sauce. Far away from the Pizza Hut end of the spectrum is Bassike, a label started by two girls (with a history in sartorial splendour: Ksubi, Seven, Paper Denim & Cloth) specialising in t-shirts and catering to a market lacking in great simple basics.
Bassike offers tees to make your mouth water, made from organic cottons and wearable blends of cotton, jersey and wool. These are the pieces that will support the Hawaiian toppings (chain store finds and slightly iffy vintage pieces), and are subtle yet delicious when you have a super supremeo (Ann Demeulemeester pants). And why stop there? With their latest offerings including denim and an underwear range you'd better put their number up next to your Crust menu.
