Many places have now entered a high temperature of 30°C+, which means that the “T-shirt season” has officially arrived!
T-shirts are definitely a universal item. They can be worn alone or stacked, and can be matched with shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, vests… However, there are various problems such as loose collars and deformation after two machine washes, which makes a T-shirt The shirt won’t survive the summer.
Someone left a message in the last issue of “Tide Checker” and wanted to know “How to buy T-shirts in summer”, so today I will talk about 3 issues you should pay attention to when buying T-shirts~
Can’t understand the material at all?
As for the material, most people’s understanding is only “whether it is pure cotton”. Because my mother has told us since we were young that when buying clothes, especially close-fitting clothes, we should buy pure cotton, which is more breathable and comfortable.
When you buy bedding or clothes, you often see products advertised as using long-staple cotton. As the name suggests, long-staple cotton means that the fibers are longer, softer, smoother, and tougher than ordinary cotton.
Two recognized high-quality fabrics are Egyptian cotton and Pima cotton. Pima cotton is mainly grown in the United States, Peru and other places. It is characterized by super long cotton fibers, natural soft texture and smooth feel. , the toughness and drape are particularly good.
For example, Uniqlo’s Supima Cotton series of T-shirts use Pima cotton. (Supima is an American Pima cotton advocacy organization)

There are two other terms that everyone is confused about after hearing them, count and weight. The count refers to the thickness of the textile yarn. The higher the count, the thinner and softer the yarn. The gram weight refers to the weight of the fabric per square meter. The higher the gram weight, the thicker it is. (It does not mean that bigger data is better)
Common T-shirt counts are 21 and 32, and the weight is 180-200g. Of course, the higher the gram number, the thicker the fabric, but it does not mean blindly pursuing high gram numbers. After all, wearing T-shirts in summer is not to keep warm. You can choose according to your personal preferences and acceptable range.
Having said all this, I know that you are not particularly caring when buying clothes, not to mention that most brands will only tell you that the clothes are “pure cotton/100% Cotton” on the purchase page or in the label. So the most important thing is to touch it with your hands and feel it with your upper body.
Only a few brands that are very careful in making T-shirts will specifically explain the characteristics of the fabrics they use to distinguish them from other products on the market. For example, BOHRHOO’s solid color base shirt indicates that the fabric weight is 260g.

Which fit is right for me? There is no good or bad fit, everyone can choose according to their body shape, style and wearing habits.
For those who are not tall, wearing a well-fitted T-shirt will make them look more energetic. Those who like street style can choose loose-fitting styles. There are also macho men who like to use tight-fitting T-shirts to show off their muscle lines.
According to my observation, T-shirts with a loose fit, not too long, and sleeves about 5cm above the elbow are particularly popular.
Yes, sleeve length matters too. Some people like the cuffs to be 5cm above the elbow to facilitate movement; some people like the sleeves to be loose.It is elbow-length and has a more casual feel; some people also like the sleeves to be short, which can show off the beautiful arm lines.
Neckline deformation Is there any help? What happens when a trendy T-shirt that can be worn out will become a home wear? It’s not out of date, it’s not out of fashion, it’s not because it’s dirty, it’s just that the neckline is deformed and the hem is loose! (Heart-breaking)
Not only is it unsightly, it is also uncomfortable to wear, and completely unacceptable for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Due to improper washing or drying methods, the neckline of the T-shirt can easily be deformed. To prevent the neckline from deforming, the first point is to look at the number of sewing stitches on the neckline of your T-shirt, which can be understood as how many layers of stitching the neckline has. Generally speaking, the neckline using two or three needles is stronger than one needle.

Another key is that many T-shirts use ribbed collars to prevent deformation. Choose a neckline with a fine texture and good elasticity, which can quickly return to its original shape after being pulled, and should not be too wide, so that the neckline will not be easily deformed.
If the neckline is deformed, is there any way to save it? A Japanese program invites experts to help you solve this century-old problem. You can try it yourself at home.
First fold the neckline of the T-shirt into a wave shape, then put it into ice water and soak it thoroughly.
The second step, press To remove water, it must be pressed and not twisted.
The third step is to lay it flat on the table and smooth it from the chest to the neckline.
The fourth step is to iron it with an iron, also from bottom to top.
Finally, lay flat to dry.
After you try it, tell me your results!
If you don’t want to be so troublesome, when washing clothes, it’s best to put them in a laundry bag and lay them flat or hang them on two hangers to dry. Don’t wash white T-shirts together with colored clothes!
