Whitesville by Sugar Cane White Crew Neck t Shirt WV73544 CANE2827

Product Information

The shoulder width is determined by measuring from one shoulder seam to the other straight across the body. If you prefer your clothing to fit more loosely, then we will do our best to work with you to that end, though, by the very nature of our product designs and fits it may not be possible to duplicate the slack looks found in many mainstream clothing brands even if you go up one or two sizes in our products. We cannot endorse these tee shirts any more highly; they are a staff favorite, and we're sure you'll want to make them a wardrobe staple! Tip 3: Please note that your chest circumference measure is not necessarily the labeled size you wear in another garment you may own from a different maker or even the same maker, so please take the time to obtain your true chest circumference measure so as to compare to our chart of measures; this will enable us to perform a better job getting you the right size and minimize your chances in having to deal with the hassle and cost of exchanges. The construction is excellent, which is no surprise for a product made by Japanese parent company Toyo Enterprises ( Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson’s).

Otherwise, it fits small, to the point where I didn’t wear this tee out too much because it felt restrictive and revealing. In it, we tested for qualities like fit, construction quality, fabric density, shrinkage, and see-through-ness, amongst many others. In fact, Chester (played by Carmen Christopher), roommate to Lionel Boyce’s character, Marcus, is the one who wears Velva Sheen in the show (but under a suit in one scene and a Drake’s rugby shirt in another), Wheeler said. If your chest circumference is 40”, a product with a 20” chest width has a 40” external chest circumference and would provide no external room in this scenario (chest measures 40”, external chest measure of the shirt is 40”, thus zero external room would be realized). Whitesville Letterman WV12077 159 30oz Wool melton set in award mens jacket, burnt orange and black, leather sleeve regular fit jacket.Courtney Wheeler, the costume designer for episodes two through eight, told us that that in addition to the Merz, Carmy’s wardrobe also included Japanese-made Whitesville T-shirts, which are similarly tubular knit.

If I had any gripes it’s that the overlocking didn’t catch all of the extra fabric on the sleeve hems and that the collar ribbing is sewn together in a big stiff plug of fabric on the left-hand side. I really liked this shirt and was kinda bummed the sizing is small to the point that I couldn’t wear it regularly. As an undershirt these can run small so depending on how you intend to wear it and desired look, consider sizing up.There’s this one scene in First Man where Ryan Gosling is playing with his kids and he has on this Charlie-Brown-looking crewneck polo shirt, which I feel shares a kinship with this tee. Typical shrinkage in length over many washings in warm water and in a warm dryer yields a length loss of about 2". The tee is tube knit and the stitching is in this slightly off-white grey/tan color that contrasts nicely with the brilliant white of the shirt. The tubular woven construction means there are less seams helping the shirt to keep its shape through wear and washing.

This review is a piece of our Great White T-Shirt Review series, in which we tested nearly two dozen plain white t-shirts to help you understand what’s on the market today. The shirt is buttoned up and the chest is measured from pit to pit with the shirt laying flat, that measurement is then doubled to determine the chest measurement. Whitesville tee shirts take us back to when tee shirts were not moo moo dresses outfitted with short sleeves that flirt with our elbows; rather, these are vintage-style tee shirts of the 1950's - 1970's that are trim fitting, short in the body length, and with quarter-length sleeves. It was in June of 2022, that the production team for the FX TV show, The Bear , contacted us to purchase several packs of this Whitesville tee shirt in white for Jeremy Allen White'scharacter, and they have subsequently gone on to purchase even more as the show enjoys continued success. The original tee shirts were made on “body-size” looms which yield a shirt with no side seams, thus weaving a perfect tube.

Except when we scrolled down the TikTok and the Reddit thread, we noticed that commenters in both places were arguing convincingly that in at least some of the scenes, Carmy appeared to be wearing tees from Merz B. According to Woolf, wearing tees made out of loopwheel cotton establishes Carmy as a real Americana head (in case the early scene of him selling off vintage denim to pay for beef wasn’t enough). Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels .
