The Makaha SS T Shirt in Hambledon Grey from Sunray, and the run should begin with something it has been doing wrongly for three batches, because one page has just shown it how. It is worth then stating what the run has been treating as one thing, which is the sizes on a page, and it is worth then stating what they actually are, which is three different sets: the option list, the chart, and the stock. It is worth then stating what each one means, which is that the option list is what the house makes, the chart is what the house measured, and the stock is what is left, and it is worth then stating what follows, which is that the run never needed a colourway count to answer its hardest question. It is worth then stating the question, which was whether a missing size is never made or has sold out, and it is worth then stating the answer the option list gives directly: if a size is in the option it is made, and if it is absent from the option it is not made, and if it is in the option and absent from the stock it has sold through. It is worth then stating what this does to three cases the run has already published, and it is worth then stating them: a size charted on four colourways but never offered was not made, because it was not in the option; a size offered on three colourways but never charted is made and measured wrongly; and a size missing from one colourway of two is made and sold through, because it is in the option. It is worth then stating that all three are now settled without any ambiguity at all, and it is worth then stating what the run should have done, which is read the option list first. It is worth then stating the second thing, which is this garment's own specification, and it is worth then stating that it is unusually rich. It is worth then stating the weight, which is 300 grams per square metre, and it is worth then stating that this is the third the run has been given in three batches after over a hundred garments with none, and it is worth then stating that this one renders correctly, unlike the last. It is worth then stating the machine, which is an antique loopwheel knitting machine in Japan, and it is worth then stating the claim beside it, which is that it is one of two left in the world, and it is worth then stating what the machine causes: no side seam. It is worth then stating that this is the second time in this run that production equipment has been named, and it is worth then stating that the run has been given machinery by the two most expensive garments it met and by none of the cheap ones. It is worth then stating the third thing, which is a number the run predicted before it saw the page. It is worth then stating that the handle carries the letters ss, and it is worth then stating what the run predicted that meant, which is a short sleeve and a sleeve measurement of about 8 to 10 in, and it is worth then stating what the chart says, which is 8, 8, 9 and 9 in. It is worth then stating the verdict: the prediction holds, and it is worth then stating what this makes, which is the first time the sleeve instrument has been tested in the negative direction.

Specifications
| Style | Short sleeve t-shirt in a super heavyweight loopwheel knitted cotton jersey, with a boxy fit, a crewneck and no side seam |
| Reference | Sunray, Makaha SS T Shirt, colour Hambledon Grey, sizes S to XL |
| House | Sunray, also written Sunray Sportswear, and this is the FIRST garment from this house in this run |
| Colours Compared | Two, and the run records that an n of two permits no conclusion about any size |
| Unit | Inches, stated in every row label, and every figure is a whole number |
| Column Count | Four, as S/40, M/42, L/44 and XL/46 |
| Sizes Offered | S, M, L and XL, four sizes |
| Sizes Charted Not Offered | NONE |
| Sizes Offered Not Charted | NONE, and this one is clean in both directions |
| Option List | S, M, L and XL, and this is the set that tells you what the house makes. See the note below |
| New Instrument | Option list is what is made, chart is what is measured, stock is what is left, and the run has been conflating all three. See the note below |
| Stock Compared | Four of four, and nothing is missing |
| Chart Agrees With The Other Colourway | YES, to the last whole inch, so the run checked first and then compared. See the note below |
| Size Conversion | GIVEN, as S slash 40, M slash 42, L slash 44 and XL slash 46 |
| Size Conversion Checked | The conversion says S is 40 and the chart measures 40 in around at S, so THE NUMBER IS THE GARMENT AND NOT THE BODY. See the note below |
| Ease Reading | Two readings: zero by the house's own conversion, and about 3 in against a body of 37, and the run should report both |
| Composition | 100% Cotton, as stated in a tab |
| Composition Sum | One hundred, and it sums correctly |
| Organic Claim | NONE, and no certifier is offered for anything |
| Fabric | A super heavyweight jersey, and the knit method is named as loopwheel |
| Fabric Weight | 300 gsm, and it renders correctly, against a corrupted unit on another garment. See the note below |
| Fabric Weight Compared | 300 here, 240 on a jersey tee and 350 on a waffle tee, so the run now has three |
| Yarn Count | A low yarn count is claimed, AND IT IS NOT A NUMBER AND THE TERM IS AMBIGUOUS. See the note below |
| Yarn Count Compared | The run has now met a yarn count claimed without a number twice, and never with one |
| Machine | An antique loopwheel knitting machine in Japan, and the claim is that it is one of two left in the world. See the note below |
| Machine Compared | The second time production equipment has been named, and both were on the dearer garments. See the note below |
| Seam Construction | NO SIDE SEAM, and this is the first seam construction named in this run |
| Shape Retention | It will almost never go out of shape, and this is unquantified with no shrinkage figure behind it |
| Chest | Pit to pit 20, 21, 22 and 23 in, or 40, 42, 44 and 46 in around |
| Chest Grading | 1 in at every step, and this is uniform |
| Sleeve Measurement | 8, 8, 9 and 9 in |
| Sleeve Type | Short sleeve, and CONFIRMED BY THE NUMBER |
| Sleeve Compared | 8 to 9 in here, against 22 to 25 in on a long sleeve and 31.9 in on a raglan, so the three bands are now separated |
| Sleeve Grading | 0, 1 and 0 in, so TWO pairs of sizes share a sleeve, which is the first double flat spot. See the note below |
| Sleeve Measurement Point | Not stated |
| Length | 25, 26, 27 and 28 in |
| Length Grading | 1 in at every step, and this is uniform |
| Length Measurement Point | Not stated |
| Length Compared | 25 to 28 in, against 28 to 30 on the long sleeve tees, so the prose claim of slightly shorter is CONFIRMED |
| Ladder Uniformity | TWO OF THREE ROWS ARE UNIFORM, and this garment is knitted, so THE RUN'S HYPOTHESIS IS FALSIFIED. See the note below |
| Hypothesis Verdict | The irregularity does NOT belong to the knitting. See the note below |
| Shoulder | Not measured |
| Neck | A CREWNECK, and this is the first neckline construction named in this run |
| Neck Depth | Not stated |
| Fit Word In Prose | Traditional, squarer, boxier and slightly shorter |
| Fit Word In Bullets | Boxy fit |
| Fit Word Checked | Both say boxy, so unlike most garments in this run the two agree, and the shorter claim is confirmed by the length |
| Branding | No external branding, and the page states it as a feature |
| Ethical Claim | Great ethical and environmental credentials, with NO certifier, NO standard and NO licence number, the third house. See the note below |
| Packaging Claim | Recycled neck labels and corn starch packaging bags, so the claim covers packaging and not the garment |
| Brand Name In Prose | Sunray Sportswear, and the house writes its own name into the description |
| Colour Dependent Field | A bullet, as Colour: Hambledon Grey, and the prose is identical on both colourways |
| Colour Name | Hambledon Grey, so the colour carries the RETAILER'S NAME and the page does not explain it. See the note below |
| Care | Machine wash 30 degrees, wash inside out, do not tumble dry, iron low, as stated in a tab |
| Care Count | Four instructions, and this is the fullest care line in this run |
| Washing Temperature | 30, as a number, and the word degrees is given |
| Second Cleaning Method | Wash inside out, so there is a second instruction |
| Drying | Do not tumble dry, so a prohibition and not a method, and the one gap in an otherwise full line |
| Ironing | Iron low, so a method with a level, and no temperature given |
| Storage | Not stated |
| Production | Made in Japan, and the machine and the country agree |
| Posture | There is absolutely nothing basic about the awesome Makaha t-shirt, and it will stand the test of time |
| Tags | __carry over, T-Shirts and zoom, three tags, and both colourways carry it. See the note below |
| Carry Over Against Age | Both colourways carry it and both are old, the eighth and ninth confirmations in a row |
| Photographs | One file listed, the fewest for any garment in this batch |
| Filename Convention | Sunray dash Makaha dash SS dash, so the house name appears WITHOUT the word Sportswear. See the note below |
| Upload Stamps | One file, so no spread, and about eleven months after the other colourway. See the note below |
| Style Number | NONE GIVEN, so this is a fifth state in five houses. See the note below |
| Reference Retail | 80 GBP as listed, quoted to show the price band this sits in, not as our price |
| Category | Filed by the reference under t-shirts |
| Occasion | Everyday, summer, layering, spring through autumn |
| MOQ | 100 pcs per style per colourway, mixed sizes and colourways accepted |
| Sampling | 7-10 days after tech pack or reference sample confirmation |
| Bulk Lead Time | 20-30 days after sample approval and deposit |
| Service | OEM / DDM / private label, loopwheel and circular jersey sourcing with the machine named and the consequence for the seams stated, jersey sourcing at 300, 240 and 180 grams per square metre with the weight published and quoted at several weights, the yarn count given as a number with the system named, boxy, regular and relaxed fit development with the ease published per size and a size conversion checked against the measured chart, crewneck, V neck and wide neck development with the construction and the depth stated, short, long and three quarter sleeve development with the sleeve length and its measurement point stated, branding development including none at all, an order of preference for cleaning with the washing temperature as a number, a drying method stated as a method and not as a prohibition, ironing guidance with the heat level as a temperature, 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 and a figure for shape retention, colour fastness to washing, rubbing, light and perspiration, pilling resistance tested to a stated number of cycles, size set, colour development, private label and care labelling, retail or FBA ready packing |
Size Chart as Published by the Reference
| Size | Pit To Pit (inches) | Sleeve (inches) | Length (inches) |
|---|---|---|---|
| S/40 | 20 in | 8 in | 25 in |
| M/42 | 21 in | 8 in | 26 in |
| L/44 | 22 in | 9 in | 27 in |
| XL/46 | 23 in | 9 in | 28 in |
The chest figures are flat half measures, doubling to 40, 42, 44 and 46 in around. Note the first thing, which is a conversion the run can actually check: the page says S is 40, M is 42, L is 44 and XL is 46, and the chart measures 40, 42, 44 and 46 in around. Note what that means: the number on the label is the measurement of the garment and not the chest of the body it fits, and note that the run should therefore report two ease readings rather than pick one. Note the second thing, which is the sleeve, and note that it is 8, 8, 9 and 9 in, and note what that settles: the ss in the handle is a short sleeve, and the run predicted 8 to 10 in before it saw the page. Note that this row shares a measurement twice, which is the first double flat spot this run has met. Note the third thing, which is the one that changes something the run believed. Note that two of the three rows here step by exactly one inch at every size, and note that this garment is loopwheel knitted, which is as knitted as knitting gets, and note what that does to the run's finding from two batches ago, which was that the irregularity in these ladders belongs to the knitting. It does not: a knitted garment can step perfectly evenly, and the run should now say that a uniform ladder is a choice and an irregular one is usually a conversion or a hand-built table. 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 by 1 in on two rows. Our proposal below publishes the yarn count as a number with the system named, the measurement points, the shoulder, the neck depth, a statement of whether the size number is the garment or the body, a drying method rather than a prohibition, ironing as a temperature, and a stated tolerance on every measurement.

Occasions and Styling
Suits everyday wear, summer and layering, spring through autumn. A 300 gram loopwheel jersey is substantial enough to wear on its own without showing through, and the boxy cut with a shorter body reads as a vintage tee rather than a modern slim one.
Production and Quality Control
The reference publishes three measurements for four sizes, states a fibre that sums to one hundred, gives a fabric weight that renders correctly, names its knitting machine and the consequence for its seams, names its neckline construction, its fit and its sleeve type, gives a size conversion, gives four care instructions including a temperature and an iron level, names its country, carries six bullets and states that it carries no branding. It gives no number for its yarn count, no origin or certification for its ethical claim, no measurement point for any row, no shoulder, no neck depth, no fabric construction beyond the word jersey, no drying method, no ironing temperature, no storage, no model, no style number, no tolerance on any measurement, no statement of which sizes share a measurement, no shrinkage figure and no shape retention figure to support its claim about shape, no colour fastness figure and no pilling figure. Three things follow: the option list answers the made-or-sold-out question without needing any colourway count at all; 300 grams per square metre is the third weight this run has been given and the first that renders correctly; and two even rows on a loopwheel knit falsify the run's own hypothesis about irregularity.
Three sets, and that is the first thing, and it is worth saying what the run has been doing wrongly. It is worth then stating what it has been treating as one thing, which is the sizes on a page, and it is worth then stating what they are: the option list, the chart, and the stock. It is worth then stating what each means: the option list is what the house makes, the chart is what it measured, and the stock is what is left. It is worth then stating what follows, which is the thing worth having: the run's hardest question, whether a missing size is never made or has sold out, was always answerable from one page, because a size in the option is made and a size missing from the option is not. It is worth then stating what that does to three cases already published: a size charted on four colourways and offered on none was not made, because it was never in the option; a size offered on three colourways and charted on none is made and measured wrongly; and a size missing from one colourway of two is made and has sold through. It is worth then stating that all three are now settled, and it is worth then stating the rule the run should keep: read the option list before you read anything else. It is worth then stating the second thing, which is this garment's own specification. It is worth then stating the weight, which is 300 grams per square metre and renders correctly, and it is worth then stating that the run now has three of these in three batches after over a hundred garments with none. It is worth then stating the machine, which is an antique loopwheel machine in Japan and one of two left in the world, and it is worth then stating what the machine causes, which is no side seam, and it is worth then stating that both these things come from the house and not from the platform.
Eight inches, and that is the third thing, and it is worth saying what test it completes. It is worth then stating that the handle carries the letters ss, and it is worth then stating that the run wrote down a prediction before it looked, which was a sleeve of about 8 to 10 in, and it is worth then stating what the chart says, which is 8, 8, 9 and 9. It is worth then stating why this matters more than a confirmation would have, which is that a prediction is only tested by the possibility of being wrong, and it is worth then stating what the run now has: short sleeve about 8 to 9 in, long sleeve about 22 to 25 in, and raglan about 32 in, three bands that do not overlap. It is worth then stating the fourth thing, which is a hypothesis dying. It is worth then stating what the run concluded two batches ago, which was that every knit it had met was irregular in every row and the irregularity belonged to the knitting, and it is worth then stating what this garment is, which is loopwheel knitted with no side seam, and it is worth then stating what its rows do, which is step by exactly one inch on two of the three. It is worth then stating the verdict, which is that the hypothesis is false, and it is worth then stating what replaces it: an even ladder is a choice somebody made, and an uneven one is usually a conversion or a table built by hand, and neither has anything to do with whether the cloth was knitted or woven. It is worth then stating what the run should take from this, which is that it has now revised a rule about ladders in four consecutive batches, and it is worth then stating the reason: it keeps looking for a property of the garment when the truth is a property of whoever wrote the table.
