So, What Will You Choose?

Why We Source Our Fortis Cotton T-Shirts from Portugal—And Why Others Do Too

When we set out to create our Fortis Cotton T-Shirts, we weren’t interested in cutting corners. We wanted the best—premium craftsmanship, superior fabric, and long-lasting quality. That’s why we source our T-shirts from Portugal, a country known for its exceptional textile manufacturing. But here’s the thing…

We’re not the only ones. High-end brands do the same. The difference? They’ll slap a logo on the chest and charge you £90+ per T-shirt.

The Truth About Premium T-Shirts

If you’ve ever picked up a high-end T-shirt, chances are it was made in Portugal. Brands that charge £90-£120 per tee go to Portuguese mills because they know what we know:

✅ Unmatched Craftsmanship – Portuguese factories have decades of expertise in premium garment production.

✅ Top-Tier Cotton & Fabric Blends – Their mills work with the finest materials, ensuring softness, durability, and a luxurious feel.

✅ Ethical & Sustainable Production – Portugal has some of the highest standards for worker conditions and sustainability in the industry.

But here’s where we differ.

Are You Paying for Quality—or Just a Badge?

Let’s be real: That £90 T-shirt isn’t costing them much more to make than ours. You’re paying for the brand name, the marketing, and the exclusivity factor. But is a tiny logo on your chest worth an extra £60+ per T-shirt?

Or…

Would you rather give a newer, purpose-driven brand a chance—one that delivers the same premium quality, but for less?

Minimalist Style. Maximum Resilience.

At Robore Mentis Apparel, we keep things sleek, understated, and built to last. No flashy branding—just timeless style, premium construction, and a deep connection to resilience.
