FAQs

What does 190 gsm mean?

GSM stands for grams per square meter. A weight of 190 gsm indicates a 'heavy' or 'substantial' fabric thickness, offering better opacity and durability than lighter summer-weight shirts.

Is the fit true to size?

Yes, the SOLS Imperial is designed with side seams to provide a consistent fit. Refer to standard UK dress sizing, specifically the size 10 variant.

Can I use this shirt for screen printing?

Yes, the high-quality 100% cotton surface is excellent for screen printing or embroidery due to its stable, heavy-weight weave.

What is a taped back neck?

Taped back neck refers to a strip of fabric sewn over the interior neckline seam to reinforce the area, reduce skin irritation, and prevent the collar from stretching out.

Is the material breathable?

As it is made from 100% cotton, it is breathable and comfortable for daily wear, though the heavier 190 gsm weight will be less ventilated than thin, lightweight mesh fabrics.

Troubleshooting

Fabric shrinkage after washing

Always wash in cool water and avoid high-heat tumble drying to minimize cotton contraction.

Collar losing shape

Ensure the shirt is laid flat or hung correctly; avoid pulling the collar over the head while still damp.

Visible wrinkles

Lightly steam or iron on a medium setting while the fabric is slightly damp for best results.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 190 gsm heavy cotton construction
  • Maintains shape well over time due to side seams
  • Taped neck for added comfort and durability
  • Robust hem and sleeve finish prevents fraying

Cons

  • Heavier fabric may be too warm for summer heat
  • Limited to specific sizing options
  • Requires proper care to maintain cotton fabric quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your SOLS Imperial T-Shirt, machine wash in cool or lukewarm water (up to 40°C) with similar colors. Avoid using harsh bleach, which can weaken the cotton fibers. For drying, air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fabric and prevent shrinkage; if using a tumble dryer, select a low-heat setting. Iron on a medium setting if necessary to smooth out wrinkles, but avoid direct contact with any custom prints if you choose to embellish the shirt.
