FAQs

What is loopwheeled construction?

It is a vintage manufacturing method using slow-moving circular looms, resulting in a seamless, durable, and comfortable tubular fabric.

Is the fit true to size?

The 215 features a regular fit. If you prefer a more tailored silhouette, some users choose to size down, but generally, it follows standard sizing.

How do I prevent the shirt from shrinking?

Avoid high heat settings. Wash in cold water and strictly avoid the tumble dryer, opting for air-drying instead.

Why are there triangular inserts under the arms?

These gussets are a heritage design feature that provides extra reinforcement and improves mobility under the armpits.

Is this shirt suitable for layering?

Yes, its moderate thickness and regular fit make it an ideal base layer under sweaters, jackets, or overshirts.

Troubleshooting

The shirt feels slightly tighter after the first wash

This is common with high-quality cotton garments; gently stretch the fabric while damp before laying it flat to dry to restore its shape.

Visible wrinkles upon arrival

A quick steam or a light iron on the cotton setting will smooth out the natural fibers without damaging the stitching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Seamless tubular design enhances comfort
  • Reinforced stress points for longer garment life
  • Versatile regular fit suitable for various body types
  • Authentic heritage manufacturing process

Cons

  • Requires careful laundering to prevent shrinkage

  • Limited stretch compared to modern synthetic blends

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because this garment is crafted from natural fibers using traditional methods, proper care is essential to maintain its integrity. We recommend washing the shirt in cool water on a gentle cycle to minimize the risk of shrinkage. Always air dry the item by laying it flat, as heat from a tumble dryer can alter the fit of the loopwheeled cotton. To store, it is best to fold the shirt rather than hanging it for extended periods, as this helps preserve the structural shape of the shoulders and neckline.
