Seconding this, does anyone know if the grenadine knit shrinks? Also, can a normal tailor shorten the sleeves?

I’ve washed mine a few times now. It tightens up a little bit but then stretched out quite easily back to normal.

Perfect day for this, which y’all are sleeping on. Size up (or go two up if you want slouchy) because it does shrink up a bit after a wash.

This is an L which would be a size up for me. The sleeves were a tad long pre wash but post wash are perfect. There was no change really in the width through the body but I’ve tugged at it a bunch during the day to add a bit more length overall and it’s really great now. The open weave and crunchy, dry cotton feels awesome. Almost similar to the KS paper items but with a way lighter feel. I would heartily recommend!

Awesome. It looks similar to the material of the poncho I have and I love it, especially for the beach and pool days

Yea it’s that same open weave cotton they started to use this spring season. It’s so nice.

I was a little skeptical of the collar but the shirt looks great in that pic. Yuki really is the master of making somewhat unconventional design choices that nevertheless look intentional when worn.

I was a bit unsure if the collar as well but it’s actually great. The fabric overall is so airy that the fabric collar feels freer and more open than if they used elastic that would have fit closer around the neck and felt more structured if that makes sense.

My partner this morning remarked on how nice the fabric on this felt. Really really light and cool and comfy.

Merz B. recommended not to tumble dry their tees. How much shrinkage should I expect if I tumble dry low?

Depends on the fabric. The MaCo stuff shrinks a lot. The regular cotton less but still a bit.
