Heritage Khaki T-shirt
Collared T-shirt of extremely rare quality, made in mercerized cotton, one-to-one rib weave, weighing 220 g/m²; 100% cotton in Portugal.
The heritage t-shirt had its heyday during World War I as the US Army used it to compose the soldier's uniform. Then, it was democratized by being the underwear par excellence.
At first, used by the army, then by idols of the time like, Steve McQueen, or Marlon Brando.
220 Grms Pure Cotton
One-to-one jersey weave weighing 220 g, 100% cotton yarn of very good quality, made especially for CDM
The cotton being mercerized allows to have a smooth and clean appearance without peeling wash after wash.
The assembly is very sturdy, the decorative seams reinforce the assembly of each piece. Here the collar is assembled in a 2.5 cm collar, a very solid heritage finish.
The seams are in cover stitches with small spacing resist better than a normal assembly.
The collar is slightly indented to avoid getting in your way, we wanted to give it more opening to avoid too tight collars.
The curve of the collar is perfect for us, just enough to be comfortable, we made the old-fashioned bias collar, 25 mm wide finished.
After a wash, the collar shrinks slightly to get ready forever on your neck, a treat.
Mercerized Cotton
The mercerized cotton process was devised in 1844 by John Mercer who had the idea of treating cotton fibers with caustic soda .
The main improvement was to keep the textile stretched during the operation to prevent it from shrinking.
This stretching phase could also be done while the ribbons
were still wet. He also added a water rinsing step.
No matter your morphology if you take your usual size.
It will always bring a little "we don't know what" to your outfit that will never give the impression of carrying a bag of 'parmentières'.
A drape in this magnificent natural material will hardly wrinkle while letting you breathe.
