About the original
The Hanes Tagless ComfortSoft Crew Neck T-Shirt is a 100% cotton undershirt sold in three-packs, with a heat-printed neck label in place of a sewn-in tag. Hanes pioneered that tagless construction in 2002, printing size and care instructions directly onto the fabric to remove the itch of a sewn label. The company traces to the P.H. Hanes Knitting Company, which began making knit underwear in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, in 1902, and ComfortSoft is its long-running cotton-basics line. Supreme has re-released these tees across more than 20 seasons since 2010, making them one of the most consistently available items it sells. The Supreme version is the same ComfortSoft cotton three-pack, with a box logo printed at the lower front.
