IHPT-06 - 7.5oz Loopwheel Plain Crew Neck Pocket T-Shirts

[Stuart.T]

@neph93:

@Stuart.T I size down heavily (M) in the standard 7.5oz tees because I like a snugger fit in the chest, and a shorter length. The 6.5oz loopwheel tees (IH-1710 etc) come up slightly smaller so I can do L or XL in these.

I think the best thing is to be clear about the length you want and take it from there. Measure a tee you already own and like the length of, and run some comparisons.

@neph93 size down? You clearly have your moobs under control…I find t-shirts the most hit and miss thing to order online as there (that and footwear). Eh hem, length is important. I like tshirt to sit between the belt and opening of back pockets. That's my perfect fit.

My main concern is the flair that can occur with lighter loopwheel tees. Had horrible experiences with Merz b, in all weights (apparently a growing issue that some distributors have noted...a bit of quality drop off with increased volume of manufacture).

I'll take some measurements and send them over to @Alex

Agreed. The variation in how tees are cut and sewn together is massive for such a simple item. Also a good t-shirt fit is a personal thing, which is why I went into detail on mine. I think you're right to focus on length first. Good luck.

@neph93 indeed. The acceptable t-shirt spectrum seems to run between 'Chicano gang member' and early 90s sensation 'right said Fred'. The middle ground is a hinterland of hits and misses!

I'll bow to common sense and measure my best fitting tee and submit them with an order.

@Giles hmm, I'm a 44 in TFH but I don't even know if that is the standard or European 'R' fit. The chest ptp measure 23, opening is 22, and length 27 after the material relaxed. In IH I am generally an xxl in tops. I'll do as I suggest above and place an order with preferred measurements. What's the worst that can happen? Return for another size.

Thanks for the advice

@Giles Any more restocks on this one? Lost my navy somehow, would love to replace it. No idea how I lost it, pretty hard to lose a t-shirt

Anyone else lost IH gear?

Couple of near misses but nothing gone yet. I dread the day. I did loose my SFK leather bracelet a while back but was able to replace it, thankfully.

Not specifically IH but I lost my Good Art HLWYD Shazam whilst in Stockholm

EDIT: I was with @Alex many beers had been consumed

That seems like a reasonable way to lose something

Nothing planned at the moment, but t-shirts have a habit of appearing with little warning…
