Cool Heron Preston T-shirt For Holiday Gifting
Now that you are aware of the brand history and the name behind the designs, let’s look into cool t-shirt you can choose for your streetwear lover friend or family member as the perfect holiday gift.
NF CTNMB SS TEE
First up we have a simple short-sleeved 100% cotton crewneck t-shirt with Russian writing across its chest area that reads “Style” in Russian. If you are familiar with the modern fashion scene, especially streetwear, you probably have heard of the Russian fashion designer Gosha Rubchinsky. Gosha took the inspiration from the Cold War and the depiction of USSR as well as the important political and social events around the fall of the Iron War and the situation in Crimea. Inspired by Russian iconography and the style of the time he started an entirely new era in streetstyle and luxury fashion.
This particular tee, which comes in different colors (including white, beige, black and orange) is clearly inspired by Rubchinsky’s work. Who was famous for depicting Russian words and phrases (sometimes even offensive) onto clothes. Something that a lot of big brands started to create on their own (like Vetements and Balenciaga).
The material is nice to touch and firm. With lined crewneck collar and sleeves, the t-shirt is comfortable to wear. Pretty simple yet chick in design. At the back it only features the brand logo which is sewed right below the collar lining. The sizing ranges from XS to XL and it can be purchased at only 87$ with their current discount.
HP PROMO ONLY SS TEE
Next up, we have this military green short sleeved tee with the brand script print at front in black that reads “THIS GARMENT IS FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES ONLY”. But also HP IDEA GEN CO NY 22 in light lilac and black over printed onto the main print. The second print just indicates the brand name, fashion week and the collection as well as the season it was showcased. It features the brand orange logo at back. It should be mentioned here that the brand’s official color is orange. It’s obvious when you visit their website. This model too, just like pretty much all the others, are made of 100% organic cotton material.
This particular model sizing ranges from XS to 2XL. They have a holiday discount right now so the shirt originally priced at 343,18$ can be purchased at only 151$. It’s a limited offer though so if you want to get your hands on it, you should hurry.
NF HERON BW SS TEE
The final one on our short list here is this white short-sleeve slim fit crewneck graphic cotton tee with a painting print on the front with the logo patch underneath. The idea here is that the designer (and brand) name matches with the name of the birds on the painting. The 220$ t-shirt comes in white and black and the sizing range is from XS to 2XL.
As for the shipping and delivery, make sure to place your order before the holiday cut off day which varies according to the country. The same applies to returns so visit the website to check for the specific dates for where you currently reside. For most countries the shipping price is included in the item price. Meaning, it’s free. And all orders are processed within one day. Usually, the same day as the day of placing the order, which is abnormally fast even for a designer brand.
Wrap Up + Extra
To wrap this up, we want to offer you another option for a cool streetwear graphic t-shirt that you can purchase at much lower price. If the Heron Preston clothing is not in your budget range even at a discount price, maybe Armani is.
The Armani Exchange short sleeve orange cotton tee that comes in other colors as well is a great substitution. It’s a high quality material that stretches well but remains in shape even after multiple washes. The logo of the brand is kind of big and visible if that’s what’s you’re going for. Nevertheless, it does not make the design tacky or super over the top. The price and size range is nice enough for pretty much everybody looking for an affordable mid-luxury design gift.
As for Heron Preston designs discussed above, don’t let the male model discourage you if you are looking for a gift for a non-male. It’s just a t-shirt. Anybody can wear it as long as it fits their style. Just make sure to choose the right size for the fit you want: bigger for a looser fit and smaller size for slim or straight fit. Happy gift shopping!
