The brand offers jersey t-shirts, joggers and hoodies, using only cotton produced in the USA. It remains renowned for its tubular t-shirts, woven in one piece and therefore without side seams, which makes them much more resistant to wear, and avoids any twisting.
The jogging pants and sweatshirts are also designed in very beautiful, thick and durable jersey. We can note that the brand uses polyester to find the material of the t-shirts, which is absolutely not a guarantee of poor quality, as it is 20% PE max!
Please note that the brand size is relatively small, so an upsize will often be necessary for more comfort.
In summary, Velva Sheen is one of those brands offering very high-end basics. The price may then seem high, especially for t-shirts, but it remains a profitable investment in comfortable and durable pieces.
Velva Sheen is an American sportswear brand founded in the early 1930s by Oscar Schroeder. At the time renowned for its t-shirts with embroidered letters, it enjoyed significant success in universities and sports teams, going so far as to equip the Marines.
Subsequently, in the 1970s/1980s, Velva Sheen remained a brand specializing in printed tees, particularly for universities and souvenir stores.
In 1994, the brand was bought by Brazos Sportswear, which went bankrupt in 1999. It was then relaunched in 2009 by Topwin Corporation, offering high quality vintage sportswear clothing. The firm is now based in California.
