FAQs
What does 170 GSM mean?
GSM stands for Grams per Square Meter. 170 GSM indicates a mid-weight fabric that is durable and opaque, thicker than a standard lightweight undershirt.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, it is designed as a regular fit, but keep in mind it has a tailored cut and shorter sleeves compared to oversized streetwear brands.
Does the fabric pill over time?
Because it uses long-staple cotton, it is more resistant to pilling than standard cotton; however, proper washing techniques are essential to maintain surface quality.
Can this be worn as an undershirt?
Yes, its tailored cut makes it an excellent undershirt, though its higher density makes it just as capable as a standalone piece.
What is the neckline style?
It features a classic crew neckline finished with a 1x1 rib knit for structure.
Troubleshooting
Fabric shrinkage after washing
Always wash in cool water and avoid the tumble dryer; stretch the garment gently while damp if necessary.
Neckline losing shape
Ensure you are not pulling the neck opening wide when putting the shirt on; use a hanger with a proper width to avoid shoulder strain.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable 170 GSM fabric weight
- Tailored fit looks great layered under sweaters or jackets
- 1x1 ribbing prevents the neckline from stretching out easily
- Soft, long-staple cotton material
Cons
- Shorter sleeve length may not suit all body types
- Requires careful laundering to maintain size and shape
- Regular fit is more structured and less 'relaxed' than oversized alternatives
Setup, Compatibility & Care
As a standard cotton garment, the shirt requires minimal setup—simply wash before first wear to soften the fabric. To ensure the 170 GSM cotton retains its shape and fit, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash at a cool temperature (30-40 degrees Celsius) with similar colours.
- Drying: Air drying is highly recommended to prevent shrinkage. Avoid high-heat tumble drying.
- Ironing: Use a medium-heat iron if necessary to maintain the sharp look of the crew neck.
- Storage: Fold the shirt or hang it on a shaped hanger to avoid shoulder stretching.
