TL;DR
TL;DR Shirt that Jeremy Allen wore on The Bear (supposedly). Very expensive (~$155), the fabric is very unique, but the fit is not for me
Review
Me
5’10, 170lb
Usually wear Uniqlo t-shirts in size L, shorts in size M (32 inch waist)
Fabric & Quality
“Due to the traditional manufacturing process, this 2-thread fabric sometimes shows so-called 'calender creases' in white and natural colors. This uneven appearance is a characteristic feature. These creases vary in appearance and may last permanently.”
100% organic cotton heavy slub
380gsm
Made in Germany
Fit & Cut
Size up - I purchased XXL (which was a mistake, should’ve purchased XL for a fit similar to US men’s Large)
Length - shirt comes to my waist
Cut/style (regular fit with a low/European style neckline - wide neckline, definitely reconsider if you prefer high necklines)
Opacity
Opaque
Might be too thick for layering, but great for standalone
Maintenance & Care (Personal Preference)
Wash cold with like colours
Line dry
No noticeable shrinking after washing
Design & Details
Fabric is very unique due to loopwheeled construction
Thread and construction is fantastic
Minimal branding (swan logo on the bottom of shirt)
Value & Price
Luxury/high-end shirt, but a great piece for those who are looking for a well-made, loopwheeled shirt with a low neckline
Significantly thicker than WonderLooper’s ELS crew-neck T-shirt and Lady White Co.’s OUR T-SHIRT
Personal Notes & Overall Impression
The neckline is a deal breaker for me personally, but many people like how it fits
Fabric is very thick, so might get a bit uncomfortable on very hot days
Would I purchase again? Yes but I would size down to XL to see if the collar would fit better
