Some fabrics make sense the moment you touch them. Flamê cotton is one of those materials. It has a subtle, irregular texture that gives a simple T-shirt more depth without making it feel heavy or complicated.
What is Flamê cotton?
Flamê is often described as slub cotton. Instead of a perfectly uniform yarn, the yarn has small variations in thickness. Once knitted, those variations create the lightly textured surface that makes Flamê feel less flat than a conventional jersey.
For +351, that texture matters because it works with the way we design: relaxed shapes, simple lines and pieces that are meant to be worn often rather than saved for a particular occasion.
Our lightweight Essential fabric
Our Essential T-shirts use lightweight organic cotton Flamê at 120 g/m². The result is a soft, breathable fabric with an easy drape. It is light enough for warm Lisbon days and useful as a first layer when the weather changes.
The fabric is paired with a relaxed fit, front pocket and side slits. The construction stays simple so the texture and feel can do most of the work.
Texture instead of decoration
A textured yarn changes how colour and light sit on the surface of a garment. That is one reason the same shape can feel different across Cru, Charcoal, Petrol or seasonal tones. The fabric already has character before any graphic or additional detail is added.
Where to see it
You can find the fabric across our T-shirts and especially in the Essential collection. For a denser feel, compare it with our heavier cotton styles in the T-shirt collection.
Designed in Lisbon and made in Portugal, these pieces are built around fabric, proportion and everyday use.
