Range of T-shirts for men

cut
Every MELA Basic T-shirt impresses with its fashionable round neckline. But short sleeves are not always short sleeves: choose either a classic shirt in a normal fit or opt for the oversized look:
Regular fit: PRAVIN, AVAN, Basic, Artist Edition Kruttika
Oversized look (with dropped shoulders): BHAJAN

Material
You will definitely notice what material our shirts are made of when you wear one of them: Breathable and soft on the skin, they accompany you through the day. At MELA you can choose between single jersey and heavy jersey. Single jersey is comparatively light. The thin fabric is tight and falls flowing, whereas heavy jersey falls straight down due to the thicker material. MELA offers you models with different fabric weights:

Single jersey made of 160 GSM: AVAN, T-shirt basic
Heavy 240 GSM jersey: PRAVIN, BHAJAN, Artist Edition Kruttika

Sizes
The models PRAVIN, AVAN, BHAJAN, Basic and the Artist Edition Kruttika are available in sizes S, M, L and XL. The basic version is also available in XXL.

Colors
The basic men's T-shirts from MELA shine in different colors: Are you looking for neutral tones that go with everything? Or bright colors that make you stand out? Or are you looking for something special, like an exclusive artist print? Printed models, trendy colors or the classic - simply find your personal style. Go wild with the selection from black and white to green or purple stripes or let your mouth water with ginger lemon, bitter choc, gelato raspberry and many others!

Whether you buy a single shirt or a cheap value pack: All men's basic shirts are made of 100% organic cotton. Thanks to the pre-washed fabric, you can enjoy the comfortable fit of your new shirt for a particularly long time.

Our care instructions
Proper care can turn a shirt into a loyal companion. If you keep a few things in mind, you can enjoy your new piece of clothing for longer:

We recommend washing your MELA shirts at a maximum of 30°. This way the organically grown cotton is not subjected to unnecessary stress and the environment is protected at the same time.
It is best to avoid bleach and do not use more detergent than necessary.
To further minimize your ecological footprint, you can use a mild, environmentally friendly detergent. Your shirt will thank you, too.
Avoid using a dryer and iron, or use a low setting when using the latter. This will prevent your shirt from shrinking and will ensure that your MELA Basic Shirts last as long as possible.
