How to check a T-shirt when trying it on
A soft fabric feels good in your hand. Whether you will enjoy wearing the shirt becomes clearer when you try it on. Take a moment to check the neckline, seams and room to move.
Look inside
Carefully turn the shirt inside out. Look for even seams, loose stitches or puckering. Feel the shoulder seam and neck label. A detail that already irritates you will not become comfortable just because you like the colour.
Stand naturally
Start with your arms resting at your sides. Does the fabric pull across your chest? Is there more material under your arms than you want? A wider style may be your preference, but more fabric does not automatically mean more comfort. Check the length from the side too.
Sit down and move
Sit down, reach forward and put on your usual outer layer. The neckline should remain comfortable. For the way you intend to wear it, the hem should not keep riding up. What happens when you move matters more than the size label.
What a fitting cannot prove
A short fitting cannot predict how many washes a shirt will last. A high fabric weight does not prove resistance to shrinkage or pilling either. Read the care label and ask for specific product information. At Club 24, compare the garment measurements of the different models before choosing between them.
