Are these scheduled to be a regular production item?

[Giles]

Yep and depending upon the success, other colours and variants will be added….

[arcanum]

G, what size do you wear in these ? same size as the old plain tee ?

[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:

[henri]

Just made a order of 5 tees.  ::)

kudos *****

[zhivago]

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

[Giles]

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…
