GANT Madras Check Short Sleeved Shirt - Blue - M

Indian madras is a lightweight, plain-weave cotton fabric, traditionally known for its vibrant, yarn-dyed plaid patterns. It's valued for its breathability and comfort, especially in warmer climates.

Refer to the size chart provided by Gant. The shirt features a regular fit, so if you prefer a looser fit, consider sizing up. If you are between sizes, measure your chest and compare it with the garment's measurements.

While primarily designed for warmer weather due to its short sleeves and lightweight fabric, it can be layered under a sweater, jacket, or hoodie during cooler months for a stylish look.

The Gant logo is embroidered on the chest pocket. It is a subtle detail, adding a touch of brand identity without being overly prominent.

A box pleat is a fold in the fabric at the back of the shirt that allows for more ease of movement. A locker loop is a small fabric loop attached just below the pleat, traditionally used to hang the shirt on a locker. Both are classic design features in menswear.

Madras cotton can wrinkle, but the yarn-dyed nature and the weave help in managing them. Following the recommended care instructions, especially ironing while slightly damp, will minimize wrinkles.

Ensure you followed the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying. If minor shrinkage has occurred, try ironing the garment while slightly damp on a medium heat setting to gently stretch the fabric back to its original size.

Verify that the shirt was washed in cold water and with similar colors. Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. If the issue persists, consider using a color-safe detergent specifically designed for colored fabrics.

Ensure all buttons are fastened. For a sharper look, iron the collar while slightly damp. You can also use a very light starch spray specifically designed for collars, following product instructions carefully.
