At Tortou, we believe in the power of simplicity. Born from a shared love for the timeless appeal of plain t-shirts, our journey began in the Philippines, where four brothers searched tirelessly for the perfect shirt—one that combined durability, comfort, and style. After years of trial and error with various brands, we found that many fell short, losing their shape and softness after just a few washes.

After relocating to Vancouver, Canada, with his family, our founder resumed his search for the perfect plain t-shirt. After testing numerous options, he discovered a locally made, 100% cotton shirt—crafted by the makers of the world’s finest knit fabrics and apparel—meeting the highest standards of quality, comfort, and construction.

That discovery sparked the birth of Tortou: a brand rooted in purpose and precision. Today, we proudly craft premium, thick, and luxuriously soft t-shirts for minimalist fashion enthusiasts who value quality over quantity. Our garments are made to last, offering refined comfort and enduring style.
