About the original
The Hanes Tagless Crewneck T-Shirt (style 5250) is a 6.1 oz combed ring-spun cotton jersey tee with a seamless rib collar, double-needle stitched shoulders and sleeves, and Hanes's Tagless construction: a heat-transfer neck label that replaces the sewn-in tag to eliminate neck itch. Hanes introduced Tagless in 2002 and now prints the specification on over one billion shirts per year. The brand was founded in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1901 and is now part of HanesBrands Inc. The SS23 Supreme version is a two-pack of 5250 tees dyed in seasonal colors with a Supreme wordmark printed in the Tagless position at the back neck.
