style or fabric?

fabric: mercerized Egyptian cotton
style: v-neck, tank, crewneck?

 

[jakeyt]

I was looking at 100% mercerized cotton and a crew neck but wondering what other people got or thought.

I have 100% mercerized cotton, the sporty range, quite nice.

Would suggest to get their "Superior" line. It's Egyptian Giza cotton. It's very soft and mercerized makes it smooth.

 

[jakeyt]

Ahhh. Will have to look into it

I have a few of their Superior mercerized undershirts in v-necks. I strongly recommend them. The mercerized cotton is very smooth and soft, and the v-neck allows you to wear it with a button up shirt when you're not wearing a tie.

 

[marcodalondra]

+1, and I recommend it aswell.

Is the sporty shirt boxy at all? Can I wear it under a shirt?

No, it has a fitted shape, ideal for under shirt.

Seems interesting. I'll have to see this for myself thanks.

What's the difference between the Sports and the Superior?

 

[marcodalondra]

I do not have the superior, but the sporty is made of PIMA cotton. Not sure if the fit also differ

 

[jakeyt]

Does the fit of the sporty allow you to wear it as a undershirt? Does it stay tucked? and can you wear it casually?

 

[marcodalondra]

These are meant as undershirt. They fit closer, and are longer to stay tucked in. However, as many other fine shirts in merciresed cotton I own (zimmerli, cagi, etc), the fabric is virtually transparent (voille like), and I would not wear it casually as a t-shirt by itself if that is what you mean.

Could you wear it around the house? The sporty Hanro stays tucked in your pants without any issues? I remember reading a review where someone had trouble having it stay tucked into their pants or it wasn't long enough.
