Cotton Graphic Print Crewneck T-Shirt - OEM

The Chez Fernand Christine T-Shirt from Gift Shop, a classic tee with a small chest print and a large back print, listed at 59 GBP with three of its five sizes in stock. It is worth beginning with the sleeve row, because this garment shows the run something it should have been looking for all along. It is worth then reading the row, which is eight point five, nine, nine point two five, nine point seven five and ten inches. It is worth then stating what the steps are, which are nought point five, nought point two five, nought point five and nought point two five. It is worth then stating what that looks like, which is a row that cannot decide how much to grade. It is worth then stating what it actually is, which is one constant grade of nought point three seven five inches, rounded to a quarter inch grid. It is worth then stating why this matters, which is that the run has been reading rows like this as irregular, or as not grading, and they are neither. It is worth then turning to the chest, and it is worth then stating what the ease does, which is that it walks from three inches to seven. It is worth then stating what the run's own formula predicts for that walk, and it is worth then stating what that does to the fit word. The reference is the Chez Fernand Christine T-Shirt. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable knitwear and jersey 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 sleeve row whose steps alternate, 0.5 and 0.25, and the run can now say what that is: one constant grade of 0.375 rounded to a quarter inch grid. See the note below
• A chest row graded by exactly 1.5 inches, a perfect series, on the same grid as the sleeve, so the two rows differ only in whether the grade lands on the grid. See the note below
• An ease that walks, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 inches, and the run's formula predicts the walk exactly, not merely its direction. See the note below
• A garment called regular whose ease at its largest is what another house calls oversized. See the note below
• A sleeve of 8.5 inches, which can only be a short sleeve, and the page does not say so, so the run inferred a construction from a figure for the first time. See the note below
• A style code the run can read in full, FERN TEE WHI, three parts and no part missing, and the first it has been able to read completely. See the note below
• A prose paragraph about a restaurant and not about a garment. See the note below
• A stock gap in the middle of the size run and not at an end, the first the run has seen. See the note below

Customisable Options

• Cloth: a 100% cotton jersey to the reference with the weight in grams per square metre stated, or a 180 gsm single jersey, or a 200 gsm, or a 240 gsm heavy jersey, or an organic cotton with the certifier and licence number stated, each quoted separately. See the note below
• Print: a small chest print and a large back print to the reference with both print dimensions stated, or a chest print only, or a back print only, or plain with no print, each quoted separately. See the note below
• Grading: a constant grade on every row, published unrounded or with the grid stated, so an alternating step never appears in the chart. See the note below
• Sizes: a fit word applied to a measured range, with the ease published for every size so one word does not cover a range of shapes. See the note below
• Code: a style code carrying the garment type and the colour in a readable form, and the same scheme on every colourway. See the note below
• Fit: a regular fit to the reference with the chest, waist and hem all published and the ease given for every size and the body table it was computed against named, or a relaxed fit with the same figures, or an oversized fit with the same figures, each quoted separately
• Composition with every share stated and summing to one hundred, the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the yarn count, the knit gauge as stitches per inch, chest with the flat or round method stated, sleeve length with the sleeve type named and the measurement point stated, the back length with the measurement point stated, shoulder width, the neck width and rib depth, a colour reference as a code and a word, one cleaning method or an order of preference, the temperature as a number, a drying instruction, shrinkage figures for both length and width, pilling grade, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light, the print method and the print dimensions, a stock line for every colourway, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling

Size Chart as Published by the Reference

The pit to pit figures are flat half measures, doubling to 40, 43, 46, 49 and 52 in around. Against men's bodies of roughly 37 to 45 in at the chest, the ease works out at about 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0 in, and note what the run should say about that: the ease grows by exactly one inch at every size. Note the formula, which is that the ease changes per size by twice the garment grade less the body grade, and note the numbers: twice 1.5 less 2 is 1.0, and it is 1.0. Note what that means, which is that the formula has given the number and not merely the direction, and note that this is the strongest it has ever been. Note the fit word, which is regular, and note what the ease is at the largest size, which is 7 in. Note what the run measured one batch ago on two other garments: 6 in on one called slightly oversized, and 7 to 9 on another called oversized. Note what that makes this: a garment called regular whose ease at its largest equals a garment called oversized at its smallest, so the two words overlap. Note the sleeve row, which steps 0.5, 0.25, 0.5 and 0.25, and note what the run should now say about that: the true grade is the mean, 0.375 in, and the published figures are that grade rounded to a quarter inch grid. Note the chest row beside it, which steps 1.5 four times, and note why it looks perfect where the sleeve looks erratic: 1.5 is a multiple of the grid and 0.375 is not. Note the rule this gives the run: before calling any row irregular, fit a constant grade and check whether the rounded values match. Note the body table, which is men's of 37 to 45 in. Our proposal below publishes the weight in grams per square metre, the sleeve type and measurement point, the print dimensions, an unrounded grade, and the ease for every size.

Occasions and Styling

Suits everyday wear, layering, casual dressing and weekends. A printed cotton tee carries an overshirt or a jacket over it, and a chest print reads under an open shirt.

Production and Quality Control

The reference publishes three measurements for all five sizes, states one fibre with its share, names its fit, neck, print and country, gives three care instructions including a washing method and a temperature word and an instruction to wash inside out, gives a code the run can read in full, and carries four photographs and four bullets. It gives no fabric weight although a t-shirt is sold by weight in the trade, no knit structure, no gauge, no yarn count, no sleeve type although the figure can only be a short sleeve, no sleeve measurement point, no shoulder width, no waist, no hip, no neck width or rib depth, no print method, no print dimensions although it gives two prints and sizes them by word, no washing temperature as a number, no drying instruction at all, no certification, no model, no size conversion, no shrinkage figure and no pilling grade, and two of five sizes are out of stock. Three things follow: a sleeve row whose alternating steps are one constant grade rounded to a grid, which the run has been misreading; an ease that walks by exactly the amount the run's formula predicts; and one fit word covering a range from slim to oversized.

Nought point five, nought point two five, nought point five, nought point two five, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the run has done with rows like this before. It is worth then stating what it has done, which is call them irregular, or flat, or not grade them at all. It is worth then stating what this row actually is, which is one constant grade of nought point three seven five inches, and it is worth then stating how the run knows: the mean of the four steps is nought point three seven five, and nought point three seven five rounded to a quarter inch grid produces exactly these five figures. It is worth then stating the comparison, which is the chest row on the same chart: it steps one point five inches four times and looks perfect. It is worth then stating why the two differ, which is that one point five is a multiple of the grid and nought point three seven five is not. It is worth then stating the rule, which is that alternating steps mean a rounding grid and the true grade is the mean, and it is worth then stating what the run must now do with every row it has ever called irregular, which is test it again this way. It is worth then stating that another garment in this same batch fits the rule too, and it is worth then stating that a third does not, and that the run will say so there.

Three, four, five, six, seven, and that is the second thing, and it is worth saying what those are. It is worth then stating what they are, which is the ease at the chest from the smallest size to the largest, and it is worth then stating what the run's own formula gives for the change per size, which is twice the garment grade less the body grade. It is worth then stating the numbers, which are twice one point five less two, and it is worth then stating the answer, which is one. It is worth then stating that it is one, and it is worth then stating what that means: the formula has produced the number and not merely the direction, and this is the strongest it has ever been. It is worth then turning to the word, which is regular, and it is worth then stating what the run measured one batch ago on two other garments, which were six inches on one called slightly oversized and seven to nine on another called oversized. It is worth then stating what this garment is at its largest, which is seven, and it is worth then stating what that means: a regular garment and an oversized garment meeting at the same number. It is worth then stating what the run should conclude, which is that the words overlap, and it is worth then stating what it should not conclude, which is that it has built a scale. It is worth then stating why not, and it is worth then saying it now rather than waiting: a jacket is worn over a knit, so ease is not comparable across garment types, and another garment later in this batch will show exactly that.

Optional upgrades include the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the yarn count, the knit gauge as stitches per inch, the knit structure named, the sleeve type stated with the measurement point, the shoulder width, the waist and the hip, the neck width and rib depth, the print method with the print dimensions for both prints, the washing temperature as a number alongside the word cold, a drying instruction and not only an iron instruction, a size conversion table, shrinkage figures for both length and width, a pilling grade, colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light, 180, 200 and 240 gsm jersey options, organic cotton with the certifier and licence number stated, V neck and wide neck options, long sleeve and raglan sleeve options, plain, chest only and back only print options, a stock line held for every size, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling.
