The verdict
Fit
Linen blend with a fitted women's cut. Expect a tapered silhouette through the waist; the stripe pattern adds visual interest.
Quality
Cotton-linen holds color well and improves with wear. Stripe precision is high; seams are flat and reinforced.
Is the price fair?
117 EUR (discounted). Premium positioning even at sale price. Quality justifies the cost for this brand's heritage.
Best for
Women seeking a refined, striped tee that works as both a basic and a statement piece.
Care
Turn inside out; cool wash and hang dry to preserve both stripe clarity and linen's subtle sheen.
What owners report about Officine Générale t-shirts
Owner reports on Styleforum agree the fabrics are the strong point of the line while construction is where the brand cuts costs — one owner had a top button pop off after a couple dozen wears. The one tee-specific report on record, from a linen-tee owner, was happy with the fit and would reorder true to size, but reckoned the pieces are only clearly worth it at 50-60% off, and other posters likewise say they wait for sale season. Customers of the brand's own web store separately report durability complaints, with shirts described as starting to fall apart.
- Strengths
- Reviewers consistently single out the fabrics — linen and cotton jersey get praise even from owners who criticize other details.
- Watch out for
- Construction is the reported weak spot (hardware like buttons failing early, store customers reporting garments falling apart), and owners widely say full retail is poor value — the recurring advice is to buy at 50-60% off.
- Sizing
- Owners report the range overall runs slim and slightly small, but the tee owner on record found them true to size and would reorder the same size — stay true to size for a slim fit, or go up one for room.
