After impressing us with its Dynamic Stretch jeans and denim shirts, clothing startup Mott & Bow piqued our interest again by entering a new market: T-shirts. 

Available as both a Crew Neck and V-Neck, the Driggs collection T-shirts are preshrunk, made out of 100% combed cotton jersey in Peru, cost around $30, and can be had in five colors: white, heather gray, navy, dark gray, and black. With a fit described as "not too slim, nor too lose," and care put into comfort, longevity, and style, these shirts are meant to be the ultimate everyday tee. 

Though they sounded good on paper, the Insider Picks team decided to try shirts from the Driggs collection out for ourselves. You'll find our full thoughts below, but it's safe to say Mott & Bow has continued its streak of entering new categories and giving our old favorites a run for their money.

After being extremely pleased with Mott & Bow’s Kent Button-Down Shirt, I was excited to try a more casual style from the startup. I went with a white crewneck because it goes with just about anything, and although it has a simple design, it's definitely worth its $32 price tag. The fit is right between relaxed and slim, so it’s very comfortable to wear by itself or under another layer.

Because it’s made of 100% combed cotton jersey, the shirt feels feels super soft against your skin. It’s also preshrunk, so you don’t have to worry about ruining it in the dryer. I’ve washed and dried my shirt a twice so far and it’s just as good as new. Sure, you can buy cheaper T-shirts, but they’ll lose shape when you wear them, shrink when you wash them, and need to be replaced shortly thereafter. If you’re looking to stock up on basic tees that’ll last longer than a few months, the Mott & Bow Driggs is a solid choice.

I always get excited when we get to test something from Mott & Bow. They've been my go-to denim brand for a couple of years now. Each time they offer something new, I know they've spent a lot of time thinking about how to well-execute whatever they're making.

This shirt is no exception. The materials, cut, fit and feel of it are all great. Plus, I like that it's preshrunk so I don't have to worry about just tossing it into the wash. I don't own many T-shirts, so the few that I do have need to be made well, and this one definitely is.

I've always been of the opinion that a T-shirt is a T-shirt is a T-shirt, and never really gave them more than a second of thought. As long as it looked clean, I grabbed and wore it. That's changed a bit since joining Insider Picks, and Mott & Bow makes a strong case for having a few higher-end options in your drawer.

Mine made it through a workout, felt soft and light on my body without feeling insubstantial, and fit well. The biggest compliment that I can give the shirt is that I actually put it back on after taking a shower over one weekend; it was just that nice to wear.

Other members of the Insider Picks team have raved about Mott & Bow, and I was excited for my first chance to test something from the startup. Its Driggs crewneck lived up to the hype. It’s comfortable with a cool and lightweight feel, yet its made with an adequately structured material that doesn’t get uncomfortably stretched out over the course of a day.

I found it ran true to size, with the medium hitting me perfectly. I also appreciated that it didn’t shrink at all in the dryer. I’m planning to pick up a couple more in different colors.
