Nice Panther


Here's the Puma Daily in 100% cotton.

Collar rib is looking good at only .5"... wonder how it will curl up after a few washings.

Says the Medium is 18" long from armpit to bottom hem, making the total length around 28"... before any shrinkage. If they grade it up 1" per size, the XL will be 30" preshrinkage, probably going down to 28.5" after drying...

And don't say airdry... who has time or space for that. How bout just make the shirt 2" longer so I'm not wearing a halter top after the first wash.

When will stretch die?


It's clingy, it's shiny, it's cheap looking.
No wonder so many of the major labels sell them.
And like this one, they rarely have inset collars with decent ribbing. The Puma Daily looks like a bulky rolled neckband.
They do 10 different stretch tees, then one or two 100% natural fiber.
Yet the stretch tees always have a nicer slim cut, which is the opposite of how it should be.
I can't stretch out the 'stretch' because it comes back to it's exact shape... so why make it tighter? All natural should be tighter, because when you stretch it out, it actually stretches where you stretch... I can actually get a fit I'm looking for.

Vroom's Best

Wow. These people know what they're doing.
Maybe a little looser on the collar, but hard to complain about anything else... except not knowing where to buy it.

Edit: Made in Japan and shirts average around $150.
