Shrink and Think

T-shirts are funny old things. Seems like an odd statement to make considering most of us regard them as pretty boring and do everything in our power to add ‘personality’ to them. We throw slogans, graphics and brand names on them just to show what we are about, which is fair enough.

However, what we think here at TRiCKETT is that the fit of your shirt shows your personality far more than a random picture of a lady printed on a teabag material t-shirt. So we had a bit of a dig around in our archives and saw that in the 50’s and 60’s it was really cool amongst High School students in the USA to get a high quality cotton t-shirt, sit in the bath with your shrink to fit Levis and let the garments dry and shape to your body.

Although we think that is pretty magic, we can’t really condone you lot jumping in the bath, rubber duck in hand, forgetting that you left your portable phone in your jeans pocket. So always thinking of our loyal chaps we sourced a cotton that molds to you. That’s right the fabric moves with your body and tucks right in where it needs to and doesn’t cling to your love handles. Pretty amazing stuff really. So wash it once, the fabric shrinks to your measurements and now you have the best fitting shirt you ever had and it doesn’t have any ladies or slogans anywhere near.

I bet you thought stuff like that only existed on Back to the Future eh?!? So hop on over to the shop and get yourself a couple in, just in time for the Summer. Three of our favourite bits about the shirts are that the sleeves are ringed so that you look like you’ve hit the gym, which always impresses and the TRiCKETT tag acts as a clothes hook so no need to rummage around for a hanger. As if that wasn’t enough, the people that make our shirts also make them for the Fire Brigade, if that doesn’t make you like them, then nothing will.
