Measurements

Measured flat, in centimetres and inches. Measurements pending verification on our sample. The maker’s chart labels its rows A, B and C; we read them as chest, body length and sleeve, and confirm the reading and the sleeve measuring point on our sample. Tolerance 1 to 2 cm.

To compare, lay a t-shirt you like flat and measure straight across the chest, 2.5 cm below the armholes, and from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem.

Care

Our recommendation until the care label of the first batch is confirmed. The label inside the garment takes precedence.

  • WashCold, inside out, with similar colors.
  • DryLay flat or hang. Tumble drying adds shrinkage.
  • IronMedium heat on the reverse, away from the hem label and the embroidery.
  • AvoidBleach and fabric softener.
