Brushed Cotton Check Shirt with Elasticated Waist - OEM

The Gemma Shirt from Bellerose, a women's shirt in soft brushed cotton patterned in a green and navy check with tailored shirting details, a pointed collar, a button-up front, a single chest pocket, buttoned cuffs and an elasticated waistband, listed at 155 GBP with one of five sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the stock, because this is the lowest level this run has recorded and it falls in an awkward place. It is worth then reading it, which is one of five, and stating which one, which is the XL. It is worth then reading the chart, which has four columns. It is worth then stating what that means, which is that the XL is sold as a size and is not in the chart. It is worth then saying what that produces, which is that the only size a buyer can actually buy is the one size the house does not measure. It is worth then turning to the fit word, because this one passes and it passes at the top of the scale. It is worth then reading it, which is relaxed fit. It is worth then doubling the chest, giving 50.39 to 59.84 inches around, and setting that against bodies of 31 to 37 inches. It is worth then reading the ease off, which is 19.39, 20.54, 21.69 and 22.84. It is worth then stating where that sits, which is above the relaxed band of about 12.6, and starting at 19.39, which is exactly where the one garment that previously passed the relaxed test ended. It is worth then saying what that gives the run, which is two relaxed garments whose ranges meet at 19.39 and run together from 18.12 to 22.84, and a boundary for its own law: the word passes only above about 18 inches. It is worth then turning to the waistband, because the garment claims it and does not measure it. It is worth then reading it, which is an elasticated waistband, and stating what that implies, which is two numbers, relaxed and stretched, and what is given, which is neither, and no stretch range. It is worth then reading what the description says the waistband does, which is provide structure to the silhouette, and stating what is needed to show that, which is a waist, a hip and a shoulder, and none is given. It is worth then turning to the care label last, because this is the page the run has been waiting for. It is worth then reading it, which says wash at 30 degrees, tumble dry and iron on low heat. It is worth then stating what that gives, which is a temperature as a number, a drying instruction and an iron instruction, all three, on one page, which no garment in this run has done before.

Specifications

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures taken with the shirt laid down, doubling to 128, 136, 144 and 152 cm around, or 50.39 to 59.84 in. Against bodies of roughly 31 to 37 in, the ease at the chest runs 19.39, 20.54, 21.69 and 22.84 in, and this run derives that a grade of g centimetres flat moves the ease by 0.79g minus 2 inches per size, which gives plus 1.16 on each 4 cm step, matching the chart on all three. That places the ease well above a relaxed band of about 12.6, and starting at 19.39, which is exactly where the run's previous relaxed ceiling ended, so the two relaxed garments this run has passed run together from 18.12 to 22.84. Note that the chart has four columns and the garment is offered in five sizes: the XL is sold and is not measured, and at the time of writing the XL is also the only size in stock, so the only size that can be bought is the one without numbers. The sleeve is 52 cm on all four measured sizes, so it does not grow with the garment at all. No waist is measured although the garment has an elasticated waistband, and neither the relaxed nor the stretched figure nor the stretch range is given. No hip, no shoulder width and no bicep are published, and there is no size conversion and no model. Our proposal below measures the fifth size, grades the sleeve across the range, publishes the relaxed and stretched waist figures, and adds the cycle to the care label.

Our Proposed Body Chart

Occasions and Styling

Suits everyday autumn and winter wear, office layering and weekend dressing. A relaxed brushed cotton check shirt with an elasticated waist works open over a tee or buttoned over trousers, and the waistband gives shape without tucking.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for four sizes, grades its chest evenly at 4 cm and its length evenly at 3 cm, states a single fibre at 100 per cent, names its fit, collar, front, pocket, waistband and cuffs, and gives a wash temperature as a number together with a drying instruction and an iron instruction, which no garment in this run has done before, and it carries six photographs and six bullets. Its sleeve is frozen across every size. It offers five sizes and measures four, and the unmeasured size is the only one in stock. It gives no fabric weight, no weave density and no pilling figure for a brushed cloth, no staple length behind the word soft, no waist although the garment has an elasticated waistband, and neither the relaxed nor the stretched figure nor the stretch range for that waistband, no hip, no shoulder width, no bicep, no cuff opening, no collar depth or spread, no button count, size, spacing or material, no pocket size or depth, no check size, repeat or set, no measurement point for the sleeve, no size conversion, no model, no washing cycle, no shrinkage figure and no certification. Three things follow: the loosest garment this run has measured, and the second to pass its relaxed test; a size sold but not measured, which is also the only size left; and the first care label in this run to carry a temperature, a drying instruction and an iron instruction together.

One of five, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying which one before saying why it matters. It is worth then reading the stock, which is one size of five, and stating which, which is the XL. It is worth then reading the chart, which has four columns, XS to L. It is worth then stating what follows, which is that the XL is sold as a size and is not in the chart. It is worth then saying what that produces, and it is the awkward result of this batch, which is that the only size a buyer can actually buy is the one size the house does not measure, so the one customer who can buy this shirt is the one customer with no numbers at all. It is worth then turning to the fit word, because this one passes. It is worth then reading it, which is relaxed fit. It is worth then doubling the chest, giving 50.39 to 59.84 inches around, and setting that against bodies of 31 to 37 inches. It is worth then reading the ease off, which is 19.39, 20.54, 21.69 and 22.84. It is worth then stating where that sits, which is above the relaxed band of about 12.6, and starting at 19.39, which is exactly where the one garment that previously passed this run's relaxed test ended. It is worth then saying what that gives the run, which is two relaxed garments whose ranges meet at 19.39 and run together from 18.12 to 22.84, and a boundary for its own law: relaxed fails at 1, 4, 5, 7 and 7.5 inches and passes above about 18. It is worth then noting what else that makes this, which is the loosest garment this run has measured, and it is a shirt, and it is the cheapest of the three in this batch. It is worth then turning to the waistband. It is worth then reading it, which is an elasticated waistband, and what the description says it does, which is provide structure to the silhouette. It is worth then stating what an elasticated waist implies, which is two numbers, relaxed and stretched, and what is given, which is neither, and no stretch range. It is worth then saying what would show structure, which is a waist, a hip and a shoulder, and that none of the three is published.

Thirty degrees, tumble dry, iron on low heat, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what this run has been asking for before saying what it got. It is worth then stating what those four things are, which are a temperature as a number, a washing cycle, a drying instruction and an iron instruction. It is worth then reading this label, which gives a temperature at 30 degrees, a drying instruction and an iron instruction. It is worth then stating what that makes this, which is the first garment in this run to carry a temperature, a drying instruction and an iron instruction together on one page. It is worth then reading what it omits, which is the cycle. It is worth then recalling the last garment this run published, which gave the temperature in both scales and the cycle, and no drying and no iron. It is worth then stating what that produces, which is that between two garments the run now has all four of the things it asked for, and still not one page carrying all four. It is worth then turning to the sleeve, because here it is again. It is worth then reading it, which is 52 centimetres on all four measured sizes. It is worth then recalling the other two garments in this batch, at 36 and 60, and the four coats from the previous house, at 55, 57, 58 and 58. It is worth then stating what the run now holds, which is two houses, seven garments and seven frozen sleeves, running from 36 to 60 centimetres, and not one graded sleeve between them. It is worth then saying how that changes the run's law, which is that it was inferred from one house and now holds on a second that was never asked, so it can be stated as a habit of the trade: the sleeve is the one measurement the industry does not grade. It is worth then closing on where the run stands, which is that it cannot yet say why, only that two houses do it and neither was asked.

Optional upgrades include the fabric weight in grams per square metre and the weave density, a pilling rating and a raising depth for the brushed face, the cotton staple length behind the word soft, measuring the fifth size so every size sold is measured, the relaxed and stretched waist figures with the stretch range, grading the sleeve across the range, the bicep and the cuff opening, the hip and the shoulder width, the collar depth and spread, the button count, size, spacing and material, the pocket size and depth, the check size, repeat and set, a size conversion table, a model reference, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing and rubbing, a washing cycle alongside the temperature, poplin, flannel and twill options, camp, band and spread collar options, regular and straight blocks with the ease published, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
