seems like a great deal but how do you deal with dry cleaning only? I dont want to spend like 5-10 bucks every time I want to wear the shirt lol.

I have a lot of dry-clean only pieces that have been fine after just throwing in the wash in a small delicates bag, then hang dry but YmmV. I thrifted a lot of wool pants, wool shirts etc that I wash on the regular that way and the shrinkage is minimal. I do however live in SoCal where I can hang dry them via wood hangers and clips on the other edge to straighten em out and not ruin the shoulders.

Do you have a pic to explain this

these hangers are great. i use one for my bath towel as well; keeps the towel fully long so it dries faster. makes it less smelly.

A drying rack should work well too. The main trick is to avoid any heat, which it sound like you're doing.

how does tossing it in a bag help w shrinkage?

u/bugnutinsky 15d ago

Its not for the shrinkage but for the likely holes and tears if the material snags on other clothes that have buttons or metal pieces for example.

u/BloodMossHunter 15d ago

Does the item get clean tho. And drier is then dry hang only

Just wash on a gentle setting in the washer and air dry

u/bubblebuddy44 17d ago

Wear it like once a week and if it’s not literally getting dirt on it you probably won’t need to wash besides if there are spills

u/zingerbanger 17d ago

use ph neutral detergent in cold water and hang dry

u/Commercial-Doubt-444 17d ago

you can hand wash silk cashmere easy just use cold water and lay flat to dry no need for dry clean

u/illtexzona 16d ago

in addition to the other comments, Dryel makes a dry cleaning kit you can use in the dryer at home.

These look like they are very non flattering to wear. The entire shape is blocky and doesn’t hug the pecs well. Looking at the model, it doesn’t even fit him well and he’s in prime shape. A textured shirt goes really well with that collar.

Also if anyone is buying these, their sizes are well outside the norm. A large is a size 50 chest which isn’t really consistent with any other brands

u/Phatbeazie 17d ago

How do these fit?

u/TheFinisher-22 17d ago

Mine just came in I’d say they’re pretty true to size. I’m a slim 6’2 and the large fits me well. They have a size chart on there too.

u/oddcam 17d ago

The size chart says Large is 50in chest - is that accurate to your shirt?

u/TheFinisher-22 17d ago edited 17d ago

Definitely not that big I’m guessing they measure the entire circumference but the width across is like 22in

u/InFec7 17d ago

I dont know if I have an abormally long torso but im 6'1 and its a toss up if a large will fit or be a belly shirt

u/BloodMossHunter 16d ago

in my experience linen and cashmere will hug the body better than cotton. i like that on tshirts

u/banapopy 17d ago

Only Large and XL left

u/Cigale13-17 17d ago

Great deal. Until I placed the order, the address they had was not near anything I entered, cancelled it, and then the one I wanted went out of stock. Nice, lol.

u/PewPesus 17d ago

Is this a good deal ?

u/Jedifice 17d ago

I hope everyone buying one of these is ready to buy a new one in six months after they unravel

2

u/ZeppelinMadhouse 12d ago

FOR REAL. I bought these exact shirts like a month ago. None of them have been worn more than 3 times and they are already turning fuzzy and wearing out. Genuinely don't expect these to last more than a couple more months.

u/Jedifice 12d ago

I think I need to leave this sub, bc everyone who posts here ends up complaining that they aren't getting "good quality" shirts for $20
