One thing to consider is that the tee Carmy wears was hemmed/shortened by the costume designer (as per her twitter) since JAW isn't the tallest.

@JamesLeung 9 ай бұрын

Ah yeah I thought that must be why. I couldn’t see anything on twitter about it though, I must have missed that! I might get mine shortened by a tailor.

Jeremy Allen White is of shorter stature, but clearly not all shorter men would look good in a plain white tshirt like JAW because they are not as buff. Being short does not automatically make clothes look good. Just go google photos of JAW working out topless and let me know what you think. @@reddz7240

for those curious! i messaged jeremy allen whites designer for the pilot who dressed him in the merz b shirt. i asked about how the shirt fit and they said he wore a medium AND cropped it them selves during first wear of all the shirts and washed it exactly to the letter and it retained most of its shape. so if anyone was wondering, yes his t shirt was cropped by the design team.

aside from the T-shirts, which have very interesting fits (50s model being more like an undershirt, 40s being slightly wider, 70s with a very wide collar etc.), Merz B is also worth considering for their other products, e.g. the loopwheeled sweatshirts are also excellent

Having worked in films/tv I’ve found that almost all clothing is altered to get a better fit to compliment the actors. Tightening sleeves to fit the bicep area for example. This appears to be exactly the case for carmy for the shirt length.

@manaphyonfire 9 ай бұрын

Great video mate. Definitely should factor in the build of Carme. Especially because I have a more athletic build myself and the difference it makes on the tightness of clothing is astronomical I sometimes have to size up because the sleeve is too small, even though length on torso is great.

@JamesLeung 9 ай бұрын

Yeah for sure! I would have thought that sizing up meant the t shirt would be longer on him but it still looks short. Maybe he had it hemmed or maybe the t shirt just rides up his body a bit more because of his build?

Came to comment to look for this. That’s literally it. OP isn’t that athletic or as built as White. Hard for the shirt to be tight on the chest and arms as well as ride up a bit like White if OP doesn’t have much muscle to work with. White is pretty built, especially since his newest movie he’s a wrestler.

Just wash it at a higher temperature James! Like 40˚ or so and it should shrink up even more. If that don’t work wash it even higher or tumble dry it even. I have the opposite problem as a tall guy where my loopwheeled t shirts and sweats needs to be kept very far away from higher temps so i can still use them, but i have an old loopwheeled(or at least tubular knit) army T from my brother that fits like carmys. It should keep shrinking in length but not width.

@JamesLeung 9 ай бұрын

Yeah I’ll give this a go, thanks! Just worried it might shrink even more on the sleeves, which I want to avoid because they fit me nicely at the moment. Maybe getting it hemmed is the best option? Ah yeah that so I guess you have to stick to cold washes to stop the shrinkage!

@MrNimurai 9 ай бұрын

@@JamesLeung I don’t know about the sleeve part, but I think you’ll be okay. The nature of how loopwheeled t shirts work is that they revert to their natural state after washing and then gradually stretch out somewhat. That is a desireable trait because they just keep doing that over and over. But they tend to become a little shorter and shorter in length over time. I would just give it some time before I do any hemming. Just use the hell out of it and wash it at 40˚+ at least like 10 or so times before you decide. Good luck mate!

A little late to comment but "boxy cut" means a shirt doesn't follow the contour of your body, as opposed to the "slim fit" tee that is tapered down and hugs your chest and waist line. It doesn't mean square or rectangle. Another way to think about it is that boxy cut on a t-shirt is like a straight cut on pants. It's not curved or tapered. It just goes straight down.

@JamesLeung 8 ай бұрын

Good point 👍 I mess up sometimes and refer to things that have the same width/length as boxy! Your explanation makes a lot of sense though.

I had the privilege of trying their shirts on in person, and while the cotton options were great they definitely had a bit of a rough texture, at least pre-wash.

Merz b schwnen have from what i can tell, the only one that is big enough to do 2xl size shirts the ones this size coming out of japan are xl only. if you order 2xl from japan it will be loopwheeled fabric but itll have side stitching. that isnt a problem as the japanese tshirts are really overengineered anyway so im not worried about longevity but its worth noting if you plan to oversize your shirt to have a loose fit it might be a surprise to get a japanese loopwheeled shirt that has the same construction of a more standard t. merz dont have this problem as their machine is bigger. the 215 isnt for everyone its for me at least a tshirt that isnt for layering .

@merzbschwanen 9 ай бұрын

Hi @MrScottWilliams1 Thank you for purchasing our 215 T-shirts and for sharing your experience! You are absolutely correct about the shrinkage being a bit different on the striped T-shirts than the unicolored ones. The reason is that the yarn for the striped version is already pre-dyed when the fabric is loopwheeled, whereas the other fabrics are bleached/dyed post-knitting (except for the Nature and the Grey Melange colorways). In addition, shrinkage can be influenced by many factors during production, such as temperature and humidity levels in the knitting room or if it is a lighter or darker color. Since these GOOD ORIGINAL fabrics are not pre-washed and each T-shirt is unique, the shrinkage might differ slightly. I hope this information is valuable, and we wish you much joy with your T-shirts!

While I think the story of the shirt is interesting, you seriously don't need a hundred dollar one of a kind loom t shirt for this look, you can get just as good from a heavy weight plain tee and just working out to fill it in and getting it hemmed/tailored to fit your body perfectly. That's really what it comes down to regarding carmy, it fits his form perfectly. Even a pack of costco tee shirts will look great if you work out and get it tailored to your body.

This show had me wanting to get a 3 pack of white t-shirts from Walmart, only to do more research and realize that the shirt was in fact NOT a Walmart tee. Lol

Haha yeah, bit pricier unfortunately!

Thanks man! To be honest it is nice, I just wanted something a little more fitted so I ended up returning it

Let's face it most guys that want this tee just want to look as good in it as Carmy does

I wish I could wear white tees but I hate the way my nipples poke out through them. I am not fat or anything, have a slim to average build and this doesn't happen with any other colored tees but white.

Is it tight in the armpits? I run hot so a squeeze there is no go

@JamesLeung 3 ай бұрын

Yes pretty tight. However I did get it in a smaller size. You might be ok if you size up

The only merz inhave is a mediumbweight sweater. Its fine but there are better japanese brands. Inreally studio d'artisan stuff in a similar price range. For the super heavy weight, i go for Ironheart (i have two of their 11oz ones). Wouldnt want a heavier one. As you say they start feelijg like short sleeve sweaters after a while.

Would love to try Studio D’Artisan and Iron Heart in the future, their stuff looks lovely!

the cropping of the t shirt is actually because its not the main one the cropped one is the Whitesville White T

Fun Fact. Most actors get their clothing tailored, especially if the show runners feel it will fit the aesthetic better

Loopwheel shirts can be had for about $25. Try Bronson

@JamesLeung 4 ай бұрын

From my understanding they’re not proper loopwheel, they’re tubular knit. Loopwheel is only done in a few factories around the world. However I’ve heard good things about the Bronson shirts and I’d like to try them!

@talentedmrripley9359 9 ай бұрын

80s ref...follow the bear.. ...James, have you tried the quality & fits of Arket heavyweight and Dan Simmons Essential Ts ? Both not to shabby. Ironically, tho my best fit bear like t is an old H & M divided tee- size medium. Fit created through t being washed at high temp ( 40 degrees +) and repeatedly tumble dried. I know, not an exact science.

@JamesLeung 9 ай бұрын

I haven’t tried them but I’d love to some day! Yeah actually my older t shirts fit amazingly now, and I love how they fade with the washing.

@talentedmrripley9359 9 ай бұрын

@@JamesLeung btw James.Are there any trends or styles you have deliberately swerved? Being only 5 ft 5 cropped stuff is a god send, but anything oversized or straight leg looks so v tragic on me.
