COLLAPSED NECKLINES & SEAM FRCTION

We view a bad t-shirt collar as a direct bottleneck to daily comfort. Just as a low-quality ethernet cable experiences massive signal loss and lag, a poorly-constructed, sagging neckline results in a sloppy profile and constantly needs adjustment. Collar baconing and shifting shoulder lines introduce performance latency into your daily wardrobe.

If you are testing network speeds and troubleshooting lag, check out our Internet Speed Loss Calculator to calibrate your connection. But to keep your daily appearance sharp and friction-free, trust the double-needle reinforce structure of the Gildan G5000.
