Quick answer
Choose the CBC Melbourne T-shirt for a lighter, everyday cotton tee at a lower price, or the CBC Melbourne Crew if you want a heavier, oversized statement piece with back and sleeve branding.
Fabric weight and feel
The T-shirt uses a standard seamless double-needle construction, making it a classic lightweight option for warm days or layering under a jacket. The Crew, at 350 GSM, is a heavyweight french terry that feels substantial and structured, better suited for cooler weather or as a standalone top.
Fit and sizing
The T-shirt is a traditional crew neck tee with a 2.2 cm collar and taped neck and shoulders—a fitted, true-to-size cut. The Crew is described as unisex with an oversized fit, so you may want to size down if you prefer a closer silhouette. Note that the Crew only lists Men's sizing but is designed to suit everyone.
Design details
Both pieces feature the 'Code Black Coffee Melbourne' print on the front, but the Crew adds a '3056 Postage logo' on the back and a 'CB' on the sleeve. If you want more visible branding, the Crew delivers; if you prefer a cleaner look, the T-shirt keeps it minimal.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Price vs. weight: The T-shirt costs $26.40 (down from $40) while the Crew costs $63.00 (down from $90). You pay more for the Crew’s heavier fabric and extra branding.
- Fit preference: The T-shirt is a traditional fitted crew; the Crew is oversized and unisex. If you want a relaxed look, go Crew; if you want a classic fit, go T-shirt.
