The L/S American Script T-Shirt in Black from Carhartt WIP, and the run should begin with the thing on this page that it has never met before, which is a chart that does not cover what is being sold. It is worth then stating what the chart gives, which is four columns, XS, S, M and L. It is worth then stating what the shelf gives, which is four sizes, S, M, L and XL. It is worth then stating what follows, which is that the largest size sold has no measurement anywhere on the page, and it is worth then stating the other half, which is that a size that is measured is not sold at all. It is worth then stating what every earlier case in this run looked like, which was a chart with more sizes than the shelf, so the shelf was a subset and the extra columns were the finding. It is worth then stating what this is instead, which is a shift: the two sets are the same length and overlap in only three places. It is worth then stating what the run should conclude, which is that it had one instrument and it needs two, and it is worth then stating the second one: check not only what is charted but not offered, but also what is offered but not charted. It is worth then stating the second thing, which is that the same chart is on all three colourways, identical to the last half inch, and it is worth then stating what that makes it: a house level error in a shared template, and not a per colourway accident. It is worth then stating the third thing, which is this colourway's own position. It is worth then stating that it carries a carry over tag and the other two do not, and it is worth then stating what that predicts, which is that it is the oldest, and it is worth then stating what the stamps say: its files run from July to August of twenty twenty four, while the other two sit in twenty twenty six. It is worth then stating what that makes, which is the seventh confirmation in a row that this tag tracks age, and it is worth then stating that it now holds on two different houses. The reference is the L/S American Script T-Shirt. Dongguan Bafinasa Garments Co., Ltd. develops comparable t-shirts 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.

| Second Cleaning Method | None given |

| Production | Made in Bangladesh, and this is the FIRST for this run. See the note below |
| Posture | Paying homage to Carhartt WIP workwear roots, and pair with some Landon jeans for an easy everyday outfit |

| Tags | __carry over, T-Shirts and zoom, three tags, and it is the only one of the three carrying the first. See the note below |

| Filename Convention | TWO on this one garment: Carhartt dash LS dash, and L dash S American Script T Shirt Black with no hyphens at all. See the note below |
| Filename Compared | LS on this one, L underscore S on the other two, and the stamps say this one is the older, so the stamp predicts it. See the note below |
| Upload Stamps | A range of about eight days across five files, from July to August twenty twenty four, and the oldest of the three. See the note below |
| Style Number | I029955 - 89.XX, and the trailing XX IS AN UNFILLED PLACEHOLDER. See the note below |
| Style Number Compared | The style part is identical on all three and only the prefix of the colour part differs |

Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Pit To Pit (inches) | Sleeve (inches) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 20 in | 23.5 in | 28 in |
| S | 21.5 in | 24 in | 28 in |
| M | 22.5 in | 24 in | 29.5 in |
| L | 23.5 in | 25 in | 30 in |
The chest figures are flat half measures, doubling to 40, 43, 45 and 47 in around. Note the first thing, which is the one that matters most: the chart columns are XS, S, M and L, and the sizes sold are S, M, L and XL. Note what follows, which is that XL is sold with no measurement published for it anywhere on the page, and note the other half, which is that XS is measured and not sold. Note what every earlier case in this run looked like, which was a chart with more columns than the shelf, so the extra columns were the finding, and note what this is instead: the two sets are the same length and overlap in three places only, which is a shift and not a superset. Note that the same wrong chart sits on all three colourways, so it is a shared template and not a colourway accident. Note the sleeve, which is 23.5 to 25 in, and note what that settles: this is a long sleeve, against the 8.5 to 10 in of the short sleeve tee this run met earlier, so the number settles what the name only hints at. Note that the run's proposed table below steps the length by 2 cm per size because that is what the template does, and note that the run does not endorse that here: the reference steps are 0, 1.5 and 0.5 in, and two sizes share a length. Our proposal below publishes the fabric weight in grams per square metre, the certifier for the organic claim, the chest flat and around with its measurement point, the sleeve with its measurement point, the shoulder, the logo dimensions and which left is meant, a chart whose columns match the sizes sold, a drying method rather than a prohibition, and a stated tolerance on every measurement.

| Size | Body Bust | Sleeve | Body Waist | Body Hips | Length | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S | 37 in / 94 cm | 60 cm | 31 in / 79 cm | 37 in / 94 cm | 71 cm / 28 in | Our proposal |
| M | 39 in / 99 cm | 61 cm | 33 in / 84 cm | 39 in / 99 cm | 73 cm / 28.7 in | Our proposal |

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, layering and workwear, autumn through spring. At 240 grams per square metre this is a heavyweight tee that holds its shape under a shirt or an overshirt, and the long sleeves make it a layering piece rather than a summer one.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements for four charted sizes, states a fibre that sums to one hundred, names its fabric construction, states a fabric weight in grams per square metre, names its sleeve type, its fit, its logo method and its logo placement, gives two care instructions with the washing temperature as a number, names its country, carries four bullets and gives a style number with a style part and a colour part. It gives no certifier for its organic claim, no measurement point for any row, no shoulder and no neck, no logo dimensions, no statement of which left is meant, no drying method and no ironing method, no storage, no model, no size conversion, no tolerance on any measurement, no statement of which sizes share a measurement, no shrinkage figure, no colour fastness figure and no pilling figure, and its chart does not cover the largest size it sells. Three things follow: the chart and the shelf are shifted and not nested; the fabric weight is the first this run has been given and it is on the cheapest garment; and the carry over tag has now tracked age on seven garments across two houses.
Four, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what is wrong with them. It is worth then stating what the columns are, which are XS, S, M and L, and it is worth then stating what the shelf holds, which is S, M, L and XL, and it is worth then stating the consequence, which is that the biggest size a customer can buy is the one size with no measurement on the page. It is worth then stating what the run has been doing up to now, which is looking for sizes that appear in the chart but not on the shelf, and it is worth then stating what that instrument assumed, which was that the shelf is a subset of the chart. It is worth then stating what this garment proves, which is that the assumption does not always hold, and it is worth then stating the second instrument the run now needs, which is the same check run the other way: look for sizes sold but never measured. It is worth then stating what the run should say about the finding it made last batch, which was that a size charted on four colourways and offered on none was a decision of the house, and it is worth then stating how this changes it: that conclusion still stands, but only because the run has now also checked the other direction, and it should say so rather than leave the check implicit. It is worth then stating the second thing, which is the weight. It is worth then stating that this page says 240 grams per square metre, and it is worth then stating that this is the first such number in this run, and it is worth then stating where it sits, which is on the cheapest garment here and not on the most expensive one. It is worth then stating what the run should conclude, which is that specification is not bought by price, and it is worth then stating the lesson for its own work: the number is cheap to publish and the houses that publish it are not always the ones charging for it. It is worth then stating the third thing, which is a tag. It is worth then stating that this colourway carries a carry over tag and is the oldest of the three by nearly two years, and it is worth then stating that the other two carry none and are the newer ones, and it is worth then stating the count, which is seven garments across two houses with no exception yet.
Twenty three point five, and that is the second thing, and it is worth saying what the run can now do with it. It is worth then stating what the earlier tee in this run measured at the sleeve, which was 8.5 to 10 in, and it is worth then stating what this one measures, which is 23.5 to 25 in, and it is worth then stating what separates them, which is a gap wide enough that no judgment is needed. It is worth then stating the instrument the run has thereby gained: read the sleeve length and you know the sleeve type, and you can then check it against what the name says. It is worth then stating what the name says here, which is L slash S in both the handle and the title, plus the words long sleeves in the bullets, and it is worth then stating the verdict: three statements and the number all agree, so this one passes. It is worth then stating where the instrument will earn its keep, which is on garments where the name is silent or wrong, and it is worth then stating that the run should keep the thresholds: short sleeve about 8 to 10 in, long sleeve about 23 to 25 in. It is worth then stating the third thing, which is a small thing that is not small. It is worth then stating that the prose says cotton and the bullets and the tab say organic cotton, and it is worth then stating that no certifier, no standard and no licence number is given, and it is worth then stating that this is the second house in this run to make the claim without one. It is worth then stating what the run should now expect, which is that eco and organic claims arrive uncertified as a matter of course, and it is worth then stating what it should do about it: ask for the certifier every time, and treat the absence as the default rather than the exception.
Optional upgrades include the certifier, the standard and the licence number for the organic claim, the fabric weight published and quoted at several weights, the logo dimensions and a statement of which left is meant, the measurement point for the chest, the sleeve and the length, the shoulder and the neck with its construction, a chart whose columns match the sizes actually offered, a drying method stated as a method and not as a prohibition, ironing and storage guidance, a stated grade per row, a statement of which sizes share a measurement, a stock line for every size and every colourway, a stated tolerance on every measurement with rounding that matches it, shrinkage figures for both length and width, colour fastness to washing, rubbing, light and perspiration, pilling resistance tested to a stated number of cycles, further colourways, size set, 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.
