Bencha Men's Long-Sleeve T-shirt — Lightweight 100% Organic Cotton with Close Fit

Close, light, and quietly masculine — a long-sleeve T-shirt for everyday wear, layering, and warm-weather practice. The Bencha Long-Sleeve T-shirt was created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire. Cornelia designed it as a true men's wardrobe basic — enough structure to flatter the silhouette, enough softness to forget you're wearing it. Well-placed seams and a subtly tailored waist enhance the masculine build, while the long body stays in place through every movement. Since 2009, our small family atelier has been making yoga and loungewear in Portugal — small batches, natural materials, no shortcuts. What makes it unique 100% organic cotton jersey, lightweight ~180g — fine, breathable, comfortable on the skin without elastane. Subtly tailored seams — well-placed cuts that flatter the masculine silhouette without restricting movement. Long body — stays tucked through dynamic poses, transitions, and everyday wear. Single quiet shade — Grey, a versatile classic. Best for Yoga practice in cooler studios, morning sessions, savasana cover Layering under the Mahan Pants or with denim for everyday wear Travel, light packing, slow weekends Honest note on fit The Bencha has a close fit — if you prefer a more relaxed silhouette, size up. For a short-sleeve men's option in fine organic cotton, see our Sadhak Men's Yoga T-shirt. Honest note on the label You may find "92% organic cotton + 8% elastane" written on the inner label. This is a remnant from older labels we are using up to avoid waste. The actual fabric of this Bencha is 100% organic cotton — no elastane. Transparency matters more to us than perfect packaging.
