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

[Giles]

Haraki has spent the last year narrowing down what he believes to be the perfect Tee, one of his criteria was to support niche Japanese craftsmen for the production

The new body style will be called the "Tokyo Shitamachi Body", which roughly translates to Tokyo Old Town Body.  The knitted Jersey is sourced from Wakayama and the dyeing and sewing done in old town Tokyo.

They come in 3 colours; white, navy and black in S-XL.

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.  ::)

[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…...
