Why Our T-Shirts Cost More (And Why They’re Worth It)
If you’ve ever wondered why some T-shirts cost more than others, you’re not alone. On the surface, a T-shirt can look simple — but how it’s made, how it feels, and how long it lasts make a far bigger difference than most people expect.
At Lavender Hill, our T-shirts are priced to reflect quality, comfort, and longevity — not fast-fashion shortcuts.
A Cheaper T-Shirt Isn’t Always Better Value
Many inexpensive T-shirts are designed to look good briefly, then be replaced.
Common issues include:
- Fabric that thins or stiffens after washing
- Twisted seams and lost shape
- Pilling and faded colour
- A fit that no longer feels flattering
The real cost isn’t the price tag — it’s how quickly you need to buy another one.
Cost Per Wear: The Price You Don’t See
A T-shirt worn once or twice before it’s relegated to the back of the drawer isn’t good value, no matter how cheap it was.
A well-made T-shirt that:
- Keeps its shape
- Feels good all day
- Looks good after repeated washing
…often costs less per wear over time.
Many of our customers tell us they reach for the same Lavender Hill T-shirts week after week — and replace their cheaper alternatives far more often.
Fabric Choice Makes the Biggest Difference
One of the main reasons our T-shirts cost more is fabric.
Why we use modal-rich fabrics
Modal is known for:
- Exceptional softness
- Breathability for all-day comfort
- Shape retention
- Durability through repeated washing
It costs more to source and work with than standard cotton — but it performs better in everyday wear.
Designed to Feel Good — and Stay That Way
Fit isn’t just about how a T-shirt looks when you first try it on.
Our designs are refined to:
- Skim the body without clinging
- Move comfortably throughout the day
- Hold their shape over time
- Work tucked or untucked
This attention to cut and construction takes longer — and costs more — but it’s what makes the difference between a “nice” T-shirt and a reliable everyday essential.
Made to Be Worn Often, Not Replaced Quickly
Fast-fashion pricing depends on:
- Speed
- Volume
- Short product lifespans
Our approach is different.
We focus on:
- Timeless designs
- Fabrics chosen for longevity
- Pieces that earn their place in your wardrobe
That means fewer compromises, fewer replacements, and less waste over time.
The Quiet Benefits You Notice Over Time
Customers often tell us the difference isn’t dramatic on day one — it’s what happens after months of wear.
They notice:
- T-shirts that still feel soft
- Colours that haven’t dulled
- Fits that haven’t stretched or twisted
- Less need to “shop again” for the same basics
That’s where the value becomes clear.
Are Lavender Hill T-Shirts Right for You?
If you’re looking for the cheapest possible option, we may not be the right fit.
But if you value:
- Comfort you don’t have to think about
- Fabrics that feel good all day
- Clothing that lasts beyond a season
- Buying fewer, better pieces
Then our T-shirts are designed with you in mind.
A T-shirt is one of the most worn items in any wardrobe. Choosing one that feels better, lasts longer, and fits beautifully isn’t about spending more — it’s about choosing better.
