The Wish You Were Here Tee from Universal Works, a loose short sleeve cotton tee with a small chest print and a large back print carrying embroidered details, listed at 70 GBP with one of its four sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the ease, because it does something no garment in this run has done. It is worth then reading the chest, which steps by exactly one inch at every size. It is worth then stating what that is, which is the threshold this run has been using since the beginning, and it has never once seen a garment sit on it until now. It is worth then stating what that does to the ease, which is that it does not move at all, and it is exactly five inches at every size. It is worth then turning to the composition, which says one hundred per cent cotton. It is worth then reading the prose, which says the back print has embroidered details. It is worth then stating what follows, which is that the hundred per cent cannot be the whole garment, because there is thread on it that has not been counted. It is worth then turning to the care label, which has six instructions, and it is worth then reading them, because two of them are things this run has no question for. The reference is the Wish You Were Here Tee. 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 exactly one inch, which is the threshold this run has used throughout, so the ease does not move at all and is exactly five inches at every size. See the note below
- One hundred per cent cotton stated alongside embroidered details, so the hundred per cent cannot be the whole garment. See the note below
- Do not iron decoration, an iron instruction attached to a part of the garment rather than to the whole, and the run has been asking for one thing called the iron instruction. See the note below
- Do not bleach, a sixth prohibition on a sixth thing, and bleach is not among this run's five questions. See the note below
- Wash like colours together, an instruction about other garments rather than about this one. See the note below
- No style number, so the run cannot identify this garment by the only means it trusts. See the note below
- Five chart columns against four sizes on offer, the third case in two batches, and the run must now say which one it counts. See the note below
- Sleeves of 8.7 to 9.8 inches and the word short sleeve, the fifth 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 Length (in) | Total Length (in) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S | 21 in | 8.7 in | 26.8 in |
| M | 22 in | 9.1 in | 27.6 in |

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 42, 44, 46 and 48 in around on the four sizes offered, and to 50 in on the fifth column, which is not sold. Against men's bodies of roughly 37 to 43 in at the chest, the ease is exactly 5.00 in at every size, and 5.00 on the unused column as well. Note why, and it is worth stating: the flat grade is exactly one inch, which is exactly the threshold this run has been using throughout, and a flat grade of one inch doubles to two inches while the body also grows by two, so the ease does not move. This is the first garment in this run to sit on the threshold; every other one has been above it or below it. Note the body table, which is men's of 37 to 43 in, and which this run built in this batch because every garment before it was read against women of 31 to 45 in. Note that the chart carries five columns for four sizes, the third such case in two batches and the second in this one, and that this run said one batch ago it must choose whether to count sizes from the chart or from the offer, and it chose the offer. Note the sleeve, 8.7 to 9.8 in, and the run now has nine inches for a short sleeve, thirteen for an elbow sleeve and twenty-four and twenty-six for a long one, and none of the five garments said where it measured from. Our proposal below publishes the embroidery thread fibre, the fabric weight, the neck width and binding width, the sleeve measurement point, and holds every size in stock.

Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements, states one fibre at full share, names its fit, neck and sleeves, gives five care instructions, and names its country of manufacture, and it carries four photographs and three bullets. It gives no style number, no fabric weight although the prose calls the cloth lightweight, no embroidery fibre although the prose says the print has embroidered details, no sleeve measurement point, no shoulder width, no waist, no hip, no hem circumference, no neck width, drop or binding width, no print method or print dimensions, no stitch count or motif dimensions for the embroidery, no washing cycle, no detergent strength, no positive drying instruction, no certification, no model, no size conversion and no shrinkage figure, it offers four sizes while its chart carries five columns, and one of four sizes is in stock. Three things follow: the first garment in this run to sit exactly on the grading threshold, so the ease does not move at all; a hundred per cent that cannot be the whole garment, because there is uncounted thread on it; and a care label that gives an instruction about other garments, which the run has no way to record.
Five inches, five inches, five inches, five inches, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the threshold is before saying what this is. It is worth then stating what it is, which is 2.54 centimetres, and where it comes from, which is that a body grows by two inches per size, so a flat measurement must grow by one inch, or half of it doubled, for the ease to stand still. It is worth then stating how many garments this run has read against that threshold, which is ninety-three, and how many sat on it, which is none until this one. It is worth then reading this chest, which steps by exactly one inch. It is worth then stating what that gives, which is an ease that does not move, and it is worth then reading it, which is exactly five inches at every size and on the column that is not sold as well. It is worth then saying what the run should do with this, which is keep it, because a garment that sits on the threshold is the clearest illustration of the threshold that exists. It is worth then saying what it still does not know, which is whether anyone chose it. It is worth then closing on the count, which is the other thing here: five columns and four sizes, and that is twice in one batch.
One hundred per cent cotton, and that is the third thing, and it is worth reading the prose before saying what this is. It is worth then reading it, which says the back print has embroidered details. It is worth then stating what follows, which is that there is thread on this garment that the composition does not count, and so the hundred per cent is the cloth and not the garment. It is worth then saying what the run has been doing, which is recording a hundred per cent as complete, and it is worth then saying what one garment one batch ago did differently, which is give its embroidery fibre on its own line. It is worth then saying what the run now has, which is two garments with embroidery, one that says what the thread is and one that does not. It is worth then turning to the care label, which has six instructions, and reading the two that the run has no question for. It is worth then reading the first, which is do not bleach, and stating what that is, which is a sixth prohibition on a sixth thing, and bleach is not among this run's five questions. It is worth then reading the second, which is wash like colours together, and stating what that is: not an instruction about this garment at all but one about other garments, and the run has been recording labels as descriptions of one object.
Optional upgrades include the embroidery thread fibre stated on its own line with the composition restated so the two sum correctly, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the stitch count, motif dimensions and placement for the embroidery, the print method and print dimensions, the sleeve measurement point, the shoulder width, the waist and the hip, the hem circumference, the neck width, neck drop and binding width, a washing cycle and a detergent strength alongside the temperature, a positive drying instruction rather than a prohibition, the iron instruction given for the whole garment and for the decoration separately, a style number, a model reference and a size conversion table for the letter sizes, every size held in stock and the chart and the offer reconciled, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing and rubbing, organic and blended jersey options, midweight options, ribbed and V neck options, regular and oversized fit options, print only and embroidery only options, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
