Comfort meets the challenge
New range, same story
We've spent months working behind the scenes on our very first items of sportswear to make sure they hit the usual Asphalte standards. Our search for the ultimate balance between performance, durability and responsibility has taken us to many places - all leading back to merino wool. This incredible fibre is what gives our new Sports T-Shirt its superpowers. Burpees, runs, hell - even your downward dog won't know what's hit it.
The Merino Advantage
Yes, this Sports T-shirt is made from 100% wool. It's sometimes said that wool's itchy, and the only activity suited to it is fishing. Not true. Merino wool is nature's finest high-performance fibre, end of discussion. Irresistibly soft, antibacterial, and next-level at regulating temperature, so in other words: exactly what you want to be wearing when you start throwing yourself about.
Technical wizardry
When we say Merino wool is a technical fabric, we're not pulling the wool over your eyes. Soft, breathable, fast-drying, and nearly impossible to crease - it keeps pace with the competition, minus the plastic. It's lightweight and doesn't cling to bad odours. Best of all, Merino has a naturally built-in thermostat that holds onto warmth when it's cool, lets you breathe when it's hot. Year-round perfection.
Light as a feather
Our Sports T-Shirt is knitted from 17.2-micron Merino wool fibres (roughly a quarter the width of a human hair). Long, extra-fine fibres, tightly spun and then knitted into jersey. The end result? A light, soft, high-performing premium wool, with a solid structure, natural stretch and serious durability. A size M weighs just 130 grams, which feels great to wear. But don't be fooled, it punches well above its weight.
A fit that gets it right
Whether you like chasing a ball around a field or running really fast to an appointment that only exists in your head, the Sports T-shirt will provide maximum comfort thanks to its straight fit, spot-on length, and raglan sleeves for maximum range of movement. Because wool has a habit of shrinking after the first wash, we've tweaked the sizing so your T-shirt fits perfectly once it's had its maiden soak. Just stick to your usual size.
A finish worthy of Mo Salah
At Asphalte, we believe clothes should go the distance, and The Sports Kit is no exception. This T-shirt comes with a triple-layered collar, twin-stitched hems, and flatlocked armholes and side seams. It won't fumble a metaphorical catch or stack it at the last (or first) hurdle, so to speak. A quality build, with every detail chosen for performance and long-lasting comfort.
Made in Portugal
It probably won't come as a great surprise, but the vast majority of sportswear is churned out on the other side of the world under not quite podium-worthy ethical and environmental standards, let’s say. Problematic indeed. Just like with all Asphalte clothing, the Sports T-Shirt is strictly a European story: spun in Poland, knitted and cut and sewn in Portugal. No funny business, just top quality and total transparency.
A quick word on care
You can stick The Sports T-shirt in the washing machine, despite it being wool. The fabric is "delicate", so opt for a gentle wool cycle at 30°C and set to spin at 400 rpm. Hand wash if you like — we salute you. To dry, don't wring it, just lay it flat in the open air away from direct sunlight.
The right pace? Yours
When we set out to design this T-shirt, the goal was simple: kit you out for the kind of sports activity we actually believe in. No dig at the endless pursuit of personal bests, but we get a bigger kick from the idea of reconnecting with yourself. What's great about moving your frame about isn't data or stopwatch glory — it's carving out five unscheduled minutes, switching off, dialling in. The strange chemical cocktail: endorphins, effort, and, let's be honest, a bit of sweat. Take a break, breathe a bit deeper, give your health some overdue TLC — yes, groan no doubt, but feel good after and, eventually, go back for more. That's real sport to us, and this kit is built for exactly that.
