Tailor Your T-Shirt, Size & Care Information

1. TAILOR YOUR TEE

    

   PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED OUR TAILOR YOUR TEE SERVICE. WE DO APOLOGISE. IF YOU WOULD LIKE NOTIFICATION WHEN WE ARE STITCHING AGAIN EMAIL hello@thewhitetshirt.com & WE'LL BE IN TOUCH.

   When you invest in one of our organic cotton t-shirts you are investing in quality and manufacture with more social & environmental responsibility.

   It's the quality and feel of our t-shirts that make them different. As your t-shirt will be with you a long time a perfect fit is important so, if you have your own perfect sleeve or body length, we'll be happy to shorten body and sleeve length for you.

   To Tailor Your Tee:

   A. Check the garment size chart on the product page to compare measurements against your own preferred lengths. Please see the t-shirt diagram below to confirm where we take our measurements from.

   B. In the basket you will see a Tailor Your Tee option. This takes you through the process & allows you to select your ideal body & sleeve length for a perfect fit.

   The cost of tailoring is £5 and may add a couple of days onto despatch. Please note that if your t-shirt has been customised to your measurements we are unable to accept returns, unless of course there is a fault with workmanship.

2. SIZING

   The charts below will assist with general UK and International sizing but please check individual pages for exact garment measurements.

WOMENS

• All our t-shirts are based on standard UK sizing but are cut quite generously. If you are in between sizes in may be better to go down in size but if in doubt please call 0191 258 2139 or email and we'll be happy to help.
• Our t-shirts are made by hand so there may be a manufacturing tolerance of approx 1 cm to width and length measurements.
• The quality of our cotton means that there is minimal shrinkage so please do not allow for this when considering your best size.

3. STYLING

Our T-shirts come in both fitted and relaxed styles but basic measurements are similar. The fit actually depends on the amount of ease allowed over the body by the cut and cotton. For example, our fitted styles contain 5% Elastane so they will fit closer to the body than a similar style in our pure cotton.

We know that some people like looser fitting clothing than others or would prefer to use a t-shirt for layering rather than to wear on its own. We're all unique which is why we've worked hard to curate key wardrobe pieces that suit and flatter all types of body shapes - no matter what your age.

4. CARING FOR YOUR TEE

All our t-shirts have been knitted and designed to last but, because they have no chemical finishes, for best results please follow these few simple care instructions.

We recommend washing inside out at 30 degrees. Wash with similar colours and a non-biological washing powder/liquid. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY as all tumble drying prematurely greys your whites and makes the cotton more brittle as it dries out. If possible line dry – weather permitting of course!

We're always happy to help, so if you have any other questions were available on 0191 258 2139 Monday-Friday [9.00 AM-5PM] or you can contact us any time by email and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
