Same body, different frame

  • Shoulder pads = broader shoulder line
  • Broader shoulders = sharper V-shape
Fill out your shirts. Shirts are cut for a broad, tapered frame. On a slim build, the fabric hangs instead of sitting. The V-Frame Padded Undershirt adds structure at the shoulders, chest and arms, so your shirt sits the way it was cut to. A visual effect, nothing more.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers on fit, discretion, shipping and returns.

Will it show under my clothes?
It’s designed not to. Wear it under a T-shirt, a button-down or a sweater: the short sleeves stay hidden under short or long sleeves, and the crew neck sits under the collar of a tee or a buttoned-up shirt. Wear black under dark clothes and white under light ones.
Does it build muscle?
No. The V-Frame Padded Undershirt is a visual effect only. It changes how your clothes fit, not your body, your strength or your health.
Which size should I pick?
Measure your chest at its fullest point, under the arms, and your shoulder width across the back, then check the size guide on the product page. Between two sizes, pick the smaller one for a closer, more discreet fit.
Can I remove the pads?
Yes. Every pad is removable, at the shoulders, chest, arms and abs. Wear all of them for maximum shape, some of them for a subtler look, or none at all.
Can I wash it?
Yes. Take the pads out, machine wash cold on a gentle cycle in a laundry bag, then lay flat to dry. No tumble dryer, and no iron on the pads.
Is it hot to wear all day?
It adds one light layer, like any undershirt. The fabric is soft and stretchy and the pads are lightweight. On hot days, take out the pads you don’t need: every pad is removable.
Can I wear it at work or at a wedding?
Yes, that’s what it’s made for. Under a button-down, a suit or a tux, it stays hidden and fills out the shoulders, chest and sleeves of your shirt, so the jacket sits the way it was cut to.
How long does shipping take?
