The Italian T-Shirt from Les Deux, a loose short sleeve tee in an organic slub cotton jersey with a printed chest graphic, listed at 49 GBP with one of its four sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the chest grade, because it does something no grade in this run has done. It is worth then reading it, which steps 0.8, 1.1 and 1.2 inches. It is worth then stating what that is, which is a grade that gets bigger at every size. It is worth then stating what it does to the ease, and it should then be worked out rather than guessed, and the answer is that the ease falls and then rises and then rises faster. It is worth then turning to the model, which is 185 centimetres. It is worth then stating what that is, which is the third model this run has had and the first man, and that he is five inches taller than the two women. It is worth then stating what that does to the only thing the run could do with a model, which is compare two hems against one body, and it can no longer do it. It is worth then turning to the fibre, which is slub. It is worth then stating what a slub is, which is a thickening in the yarn, and what it has, which is a frequency and a thickness, and that neither is given. The reference is the Italian T-Shirt. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable tees on OEM and ODM terms, from fabric and trim development to retail or FBA ready packing. We publish this as a development reference and build your own version of it, and we do not supply the branded original or reproduce anyone else's label.
Key Features
- A chest grade of 0.8, 1.1 and 1.2 inches, the first grade in this run that grows with the size, so the ease falls and then rises faster and faster. See the note below
- A model at 185 cm, the third model in this run and the first man, five inches taller than the two women, so no length here can be stood against any length before it. See the note below
- Slub, a quality of the yarn rather than a fibre, a weave or a weight, with no slub frequency and no slub thickness given. See the note below
- Tumble dry low, the first time in this run that a label has said to use a machine to dry anything. See the note below
- A style number and a colour code given as two separate fields, which is exactly the split this run needed to tell a garment from a colourway. See the note below
- A chart in inches, and the formula in inches holds: 2g minus 2, which is the same formula as 0.79g minus 2 in centimetres. See the note below
- Organic in the prose and not on the composition line, and this is a men's garment from a new house, so the run starts its count again. See the note below
- Sleeves of 9.6 to 10.2 inches and the word short sleeve, the fourth agreement between a sleeve number and a sleeve word in three batches. See the note below

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Pit to Pit (in) | Sleeve (in) | Total Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 20.7 in | 9.6 in | 28.7 in |
| M | 21.5 in | 9.8 in | 29.1 in |
| L | 22.6 in | 10 in | 29.9 in |
| XL | 23.8 in | 10.2 in | 30.7 in |
The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 41.4, 43.0, 45.2 and 47.6 in around. Against men's bodies of roughly 37 to 43 in at the chest, the ease runs 4.40, 4.00, 4.20 and 4.60 in. Note the grading, which is 0.8, 1.1 and 1.2 in, and this is the first grade in this run that grows with the size: every earlier grade has been constant, irregular within a garment, or frozen. Worked through the formula in inches, a flat grade of g inches moves the ease by 2g minus 2, which gives minus 0.40, then plus 0.20, then plus 0.40, matching the chart, so the ease falls and then rises faster at each step. Note the body table, which is new: this run has been reading women's bodies of 31 to 45 in throughout, and these are men's of 37 to 43, and the two cannot be compared. Note the model, at 185 cm, which is the third in this run and the first man, and five inches taller than the two women, so no length here can be stood against any length this run read before this batch. Note the sleeve, 9.6 to 10.2 in, and this run now has a scale to put it against: nine inches for a short sleeve, thirteen for an elbow sleeve, and twenty-four and twenty-six for a long sleeve. Note what is wrong with that scale, which is that not one of the five garments said where it measured from. Our proposal below publishes the fabric weight, the slub frequency and thickness, the neck width and drop, the sleeve measurement point, and holds every size in stock.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, layering and weekends. A loose printed tee in a slub jersey carries denim, shorts and tailoring, and it works under an overshirt or a jacket.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements for all four sizes, states one fibre at full share, names its yarn character, fit, fabric, hem, print and neck, gives a wash temperature, a drying instruction and an iron instruction, gives a model with a height and a size, and gives a style number and a colour code as separate fields, and it names its country of manufacture, and it carries six photographs and five bullets. It gives no fabric weight although the prose calls it lightweight, no slub frequency or thickness although the yarn is called slub, no certification and no organic claim on the composition line although the prose calls it organic, no sleeve measurement point, no shoulder width, no waist, no hip, no hem circumference, no neck width, drop or rib depth, no print method or print dimensions, no washing cycle, no detergent strength, no certification and no shrinkage figure, no size conversion, and one of four sizes is in stock. Three things follow: the first chest grade in this run that grows with the size; the first drying instruction in this run that says to use a machine; and a style number and a colour code given separately, which is the split this run needed two batches ago and never had.
Zero point eight, one point one, one point two, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what every grade before this has done before saying what this is. It is worth then stating what they did, which is hold constant, or vary within a garment, or freeze, or stop. It is worth then reading this one, which gets bigger at every step. It is worth then stating what that does to the ease, and the run should work it out rather than guess: a flat grade of g inches doubles to 2g and the body grows by 2, so the ease moves by 2g minus 2, which is minus 0.4, then plus 0.2, then plus 0.4. It is worth then stating what the result looks like, which is that the ease falls once and then rises faster and faster. It is worth then saying what that means for the largest size, which is that an XL carries more ease than an S, and a grade that grows is the only way that can happen. It is worth then saying what the run does not know, which is whether anyone intended it, and it has one case. It is worth then closing on the formula, and saying what the run should say about it: it now has the same formula written in two units, and 2 divided by 2.54 is 0.79, so they agree, and it is one formula.
One hundred and eighty-five, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what the other two were before saying what this does. It is worth then stating what they were, which are both women at five foot ten, and what the run could do with two models of the same height, which is stand two hems against one body. It is worth then reading this one, which is a man at a hundred and eighty-five centimetres, or seventy-three inches. It is worth then stating what that does, which is that he is five inches taller, and so no length in this batch can be compared to any length this run read before it. It is worth then stating what the run can still do, which is compare two garments from this batch to each other, and then saying why it cannot, which is that only one of the three in this batch gives a model. It is worth then stating what it would need, which is every garment giving one, and how many do, which is three out of ninety-four. It is worth then closing on the fibre. It is worth then reading it, which is slub. It is worth then stating what a slub is, which is a thickening in the yarn, and what it has, which is a frequency and a thickness, and what is given, which is neither. It is worth then saying what kind of word slub is, which is a fourth kind: not a fibre, not a weave, not a weight and not a finish, but something the yarn itself does.
Optional upgrades include the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the slub frequency and slub thickness, the organic certification named and carried on the composition line, the sleeve measurement point, the shoulder width, the waist and the hip, the hem circumference, the neck width, neck drop and rib depth, the print method and print dimensions, a washing cycle and a detergent strength alongside the temperature, the chest grade held steady so the ease does not swing, a size conversion table for the letter sizes, every size held in stock, more than one photograph per colourway, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing and rubbing, plain and ring spun jersey options, midweight and heavyweight options, regular and oversized fit options, V neck and self bound neck options, embroidery and plain options, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
Pre-production sample approval, in-line inspection during cutting and sewing, and a final AQL inspection before packing, with measurement reports and photos shared before shipment.
