IHT-2011 Plain - 7.5oz Loopwheeled Knitted Cotton Tee Shirts

[Giles]

I think it'll be a Large.  I did a shrink test on one yesterday, but I have just been hammer drilling down a wall, and am not thinking it is a good idea to try it on until I have had a shower…..

[Giles]

Yep, Large for me:

Nice shorts

[jimmy]

not as long as i was expecting them to be which is a good thing. unless you have really lanky arms there G

[bertoni]

Are these really shorter than the 7oz tees?! Measurement tables for the L tees in 7 and 7.5oz would suggest as much.

Thanks G. How does the new plain tees fit you compared to the old ones ? Also did you change the sizing chart of the old plain tees ? i remember the chest size of old plain tee in medium was something like 101 cm ..

i am really lost on the sizing because the old tees fit just right at the moment, i dont want it any tighter and apparently the new tees is slimmer on the chest which makes me think to size up to a large, what do you think ?

I have not changed the sizing chart on the 7oz.  But I have just laid a 7.5oz over a 7oz and the only visible difference in sizing is the length.  Despite what the sizing charts say, the L in the 7.5oz is about 2cm longer than the 7oz.  I'll measure a few up later and take an average and then update the sizing chart.  G

I think I know what the issue is.  I think that the measurements on the old 7oz Tee's were not accurate, we're just going to measure a few of the old ones.  G

[Giles]

OK.  So me and Mrs G have just spent the past half hour measuring Tee's.  We have updated both the 7 and the 7.5 oz Tee sizing tables.  Bottom line.  New ones have smaller chest and are longer.  However, I wear an L in both- but then I'm a simple man…...

Shop ad says: These shirts must be washed before wear, in so doing the fabric will "bed-in" and become thicker and more durable. How do you wash these please?

[Giles]

We chuck ours into a regular 40C wash…

[barun]

fit pic?

[Giles]

[barun]

thanks, that's a large?

[Giles]

Yup, sorry should have said…..

Love the new tees. Washing now as recommended.

First minute impression:
fabric feels a bit heavier but softer
like the fit, it does feel a bit slimmer but not noticeably longer to me
the white fabric is not quite as bright as the last white, just an ever so slight color to it

good work mr haraki

[jacoavlu]

noticed after the wash the black is different in color as well…
not as black as the priors
hint of a dark brown color there
quite noticeable next to an old black

I took a pic but the digi sensor makes it look much worse than it really is so I'm not gonna put it up

color is not bad, just different
hell maybe I just screwed up the laundry
or that last sam adams was one too many
hahaha

[arcanum]

jaco what size did u get in these ?
