How to Measure

Best methodGrab a tee you already own and love that fits well. Lay it flat and measure it the same way the column is named, then compare.

WidthMeasure straight across from armpit to armpit. This is half of the way round, so a 47cm width is a 94cm chest laid flat.

LengthMeasure from the highest point of the shoulder straight down to the bottom hem.

SleeveMeasure from the centre of the back neck out to the end of the sleeve.

Product Details

685 is Samoa's international dialling code. Three numbers every Samoan overseas knows by heart, printed big across the back on your choice of fabric. Choose Heavy for thick preshrunk cotton that handles weekly wear, or Soft for a lighter combed cotton that sits like your favourite tee. Black or white.

You don't need another plain tee. This one starts conversations without you saying a word.

Made for our people

Why It Matters

Keeps Shape

Two fabrics, one print. Heavy is preshrunk cotton, taped shoulders, double needle hems. Soft is combed cotton, side seamed and lighter to wear.

Loud And Proud

685 across your back, and another Samoan spots it as you walk away. Three numbers that say everything about where you come from.

100% Cotton

Top three seller across all tees. 685 consistently outsells every other design in the heavy tee range. Popular for a reason.

STYLE IT YOUR WAY

Use It Your Way

With jeans and boots for a Saturday that needs zero planning. Under a leather jacket for evening when you want something with meaning underneath. Layered under an open flannel for cooler mornings. Tucked into chinos for a casual Friday that still carries cultural weight. The heavy cotton holds its shape after a full day and a full wash cycle. Gift it for anyone connected to Samoa who lives in plain tees and needs an upgrade. The tee that gets recognised at family events, at the gym, and at the supermarket.

The story behind the design

685

685 is Samoa's international dialling code. For the diaspora, it is more than a number. It is identity, connection, and a quiet way of saying "I'm Samoan" wherever you are in the world.
