Bamboo tshirt mens problem, shirt gets long in the body

Short answer: A T-shirt can get long in the body for several reasons: it may be too big, it may have been pulled in length during washing and drying, or your upper body may be long. Choose the right size, wash gently and lay the T-shirt flat to dry.

Why a bamboo tshirt mens size can grow long

A T-shirt that gets long is often the result of the fabric being pulled lengthways, or of it being too long for your body from the start. Many people search for "bamboo tshirt mens" because their T-shirt hangs far down over the trousers, and they want to know how to solve the problem.

Is the size too big

Have a look at the bamboo T-shirts for men. The first thing to check is the size. A T-shirt that is too big is also too long, and it hangs down over the hip. Try one size smaller, and see whether the length and the shoulders fit better without it becoming too tight.

Pulled lengthways during drying

If you hang a wet T-shirt by the shoulders or the hem, the weight of the water pulls the fabric downwards. That can make the T-shirt longer, especially if the fabric is soft and falls evenly. Lay it flat to dry instead, so it keeps the length it had.

Washing and the tumble dryer

A hot wash and the tumble dryer can change a fabric and make a T-shirt more uneven. Wash at a low temperature and turn it inside out. Avoid the tumble dryer and gently pull the T-shirt into shape while it is damp, so the length is even all the way round.

A long upper body

If you have a long upper body, a T-shirt can feel short, while the same T-shirt on someone else can feel long. The length depends on how you are built. Try different models and find the length that suits you and does not hang over the trousers.

How to correct the length

If the T-shirt is already too long, you can try wearing it tucked into your trousers, if that suits the look. Otherwise a tailor can shorten it. Next time choose a model with a length that suits your body, and wash and dry it in a way that keeps the length.

The rest of the clothes

A T-shirt that hangs straight lets the clothes underneath sit better. A pair of bamboo underwear for men in a soft cut lies flat, and a set of bamboo jogging sets at home sits calmly together with a T-shirt that is not too long.

How to keep the length in future

Use the same washing method every time: low temperature, inside out and flat to dry. Rotate between several T-shirts, so none of them wears out too quickly. Notice whether the length changes, and adjust your habits if it does.
