Most people think gym clothes need to be flashy neon colors covered in logos. For Mr Inbetween fans, the opposite is true. The show's quiet intensity and understated style translate perfectly into workout gear that lets your performance speak, not your shirt. Ray Shoesmith's wardrobe - muted tones, simple cuts, practical fabrics - is exactly what you want when you're grinding through a heavy set. No distractions, just focus. And our Mr Inbetween gym wear collection brings that same ethos to your workout routine.

Why Mr Inbetween Style Works for the Gym
The appeal lies in the simplicity. Ray doesn't wear logos or slogans - he wears clothes that are functional and durable. That mindset lines up perfectly with gym wear: you need gear that moves with you, withstands repeated washing, and never gets in the way. Our collection pulls directly from that aesthetic.
Dark charcoal, black, and heather grey dominate the palette. These colors hide sweat stains, pair with any shorts or joggers, and look just as good on the street as on the gym floor. The fits are tailored but not restrictive: broad shoulders get room, arms get full range of motion.
In my experience testing these pieces, the lack of loud branding is a huge plus. You're not broadcasting a message; you're just putting in work. The subtle nods to the show - like a small "MIB" embroidery or a quote on the sleeve - are enough for fellow fans to notice without screaming for attention.
Fabric Choice Matters
We selected materials based on real gym use. The hoodies use a heavy-weight 400 GSM cotton-poly blend that holds warmth during warm-ups and keeps its shape after dozens of cycles in the wash. The tees are 100% combed ring-spun cotton for softness and breathability. For high-intensity days, the limited edition dri-fit tee wicks sweat away so you stay dry.
Best Mr Inbetween Hoodies for Workouts
If you're investing in one piece, make it the hoodie. It's the most versatile layer in your gym bag. The Classic Ray Hoodie is built like the show's tone: sturdy, straightforward, and reliable.
- Construction: Double-stitched seams, ribbed cuffs and hem, and a lined drawstring hood. This thing won't fall apart mid-set.
- Fit: Slightly oversized in the chest and shoulders, allowing easy layering over a tee or tank. The sleeves are long enough for tall guys - I'm 6'1" and they hit at my wrist perfectly.
- Pockets: Kangaroo pocket deep enough for phone, keys, and a gym card, with a hidden media port for headphones.
I've worn this hoodie for both pre-workout lounging and post-workout cool-downs. It breathes well enough during warm-ups but blocks cold gym drafts. The weight feels substantial without being stiff. At $55, it's a no-brainer for any Mr Inbetween fan who hits the gym.
What About Lighter Options?
For indoor gyms with AC blasting, the Classic Ray Hoodie is ideal. If you train in a warmer climate or run outdoors, consider the Lightweight Crew Hoodie (coming soon). It uses a thinner 300 GSM fleece. But for most lifters, the heavy-weight version is the one to grab.
Top Mr Inbetween T-Shirts for Lifting
Tees are the workhorses of any gym wardrobe. The Dave's Gym Tee is our best seller for a reason. It's cut to allow proper shoulder mobility without looking baggy.
- Shoulder room: The dropped shoulder seam gives extra space for overhead presses and pull-ups.
- Neckline: A reinforced crew neck that doesn't stretch out after a few washes, something cheap tees always get wrong.
- Print: A small, weathered quote from the show across the chest - "Sometimes you have to be a bad guy to do good things." It's subtle enough that only someone standing close can read it.
Price is $28, making it easy to grab two or three. The cotton is pre-shrunk, so you won't get surprises after the first dry. In my lifting sessions, the tee stayed tucked during deadlifts and didn't bunch under the bar during squats.
For Cardio-Heavy Workouts
Cotton is breathable but not quick-drying. If you're doing HIIT or long runs, grab the Limited Edition Dri-Fit Tee. It's a polyester-spandex blend that wicks sweat and dries in minutes. The same minimalist design, but engineered for performance. $35.
How to Style Your Mr Inbetween Gear for the Gym
Putting together a gym outfit that feels intentional is easy with this collection. Stick to one neutral base color - black or grey - and layer from there.
- Lifting day: Dave's Gym Tee + black shorts or joggers + the Classic Ray Hoodie for warm-ups. Take the hoodie off once you start moving iron.
- Cardio day: Dri-Fit Tee + training shorts. Leave the hoodie in the locker; you won't need it.
- Post-gym errands: Keep the hoodie on, swap shorts for dark jeans, and you're good to go. The hoodie reads as everyday casual, not gym-specific.
One tip from my own experience: size up if you want a looser hoodie for layering over a bulky hoodie? Actually, the Classic Ray fits TTS - order your normal size. If you're between sizes, go up for a relaxed feel, especially if you plan to layer heavily.
