White bamboo long sleeve t-shirt

White long sleeved bamboo T-shirt for women

The white long sleeved T-shirt is the most used top of spring and autumn. It is too thin to be a jumper and too covering to be a T-shirt, and that is exactly why it suits the many weeks of the year when the weather cannot make up its mind. The model is for women and comes in sizes S to XXL.

The top for the in-between months

In March and October the problem is not the cold, but the swings: cool in the morning, mild at midday, cool again in the evening. A long-sleeved top in thin bamboo fabric covers the arms without warming like a jumper, and because the fabric moves moisture away from the skin, it does not turn clammy when the temperature rises indoors. It is the most practical top to own several of.

White that gets noticed

White is the colour that lightens the rest of the outfit. Under a dark blazer, over a pair of blue jeans or on its own with a skirt, the white long-sleeved top is the simplest way to break up something dark. It can be worn on its own as a top and works at the same time as a clean layer under a thin jumper.

The fabric

The T-shirt is made of 70 % bamboo viscose, 25 % organic cotton and 5 % elastane. The bamboo viscose is smooth and cool against the skin and carries moisture away, so it evaporates instead of staying put, and that is why the same top works both in cool and in mild weather. The cotton gives the fabric body, the elastane keeps the shape in the sleeves and the neck. The properties are set out under benefits of bamboo viscose.

Sleeves and neckline

The sleeves finish at the wrist with an edge that does not constrict, and the neck is round and lies flat. Those are the two places a long-sleeved top usually gives way over time, and where the elastane in the blend makes the difference between a top that looks the same after a year and one where the cuffs have gone slack.

The certification

The T-shirt is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified under cert. no. BJ020 142441, which means that every component has been tested for harmful substances. What the certificate covers is set out under what OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means.

How to keep white white

Wash the top together with the rest of your white and light items, never with colours, which slowly give white a grey or yellowish cast. Use 30 to 40 degrees, skip the fabric softener and let it air dry. Fabric softener leaves a film on the fibres that both makes the fabric worse at moving moisture and makes white look dull. The rest of the advice is under washing and care.

Size

The model comes in sizes S to XXL and sits close to the body without constricting. Choose your usual size if it is going to be used as a layer, and go one up if it is mostly going to be worn on its own with a looser drape.
