When reviewing the size chart remember that knitwear is a garment that has stretch and movement in the weave. There's no need to scrutinise every number on the chart, as you may normaly do with a fixed/rigid fabric, such as cotton shirting. Order for your chest size and if in doubt, size-up; they work well worn with a more relaxed and easy fit.
For this new release we have tweaked the cut to perfect it further. For those that have had our Chet knits before, except the same quality, but a slightly closer fitting armhole, neckline and waistband.

Backstory

Our third Icon Series release hails from the sun-bleached state of Los-Angeles, California. It’s 1954 and (below) Chet Baker sings alongside Russ Freeman on piano at Recorder Records in Hollywood, whilst cutting parts of his seminal album ‘Chet Sings’.

This image and countless others from the early Chet years circle around me on the daily. Chet in some sort high-waisted slacks and t-shirt sort-of-look never fails. On much closer inspection of one of these shots, there was one with its patchwork texture of raised ribbed and flat squares all seamlessly knitted as one that stayed with me. Other dreamy details like the closer neckline, cropped sleeve (note the optional turn back on the cuff) and the height of the waistband all worked in harmony for what I saw to be was the perfect knit tee

Style notes

Breathable and light by nature, but knitted with enough body to hold a strong silhouette and texture when worn. Tuck it in or wear it out and gathered over the ribbed waistband
