armyandoutdoors Russian Telnyashka Striped Sailors’s/Navy’s T-Shirt (UK 44 / EU 54, Red)

Bought to add to a Christmas Elf T-shirt.Worked a treat. Then 'er indoors said I could use it to dress up as Wally/Waldo!Actually quite warm as well, even thought it is a relatively thin cotton.Finally, other reviewers had mentioned that a paper label came off in the wash. Not surprising, I think, as it seems to be just the label giving size information.

I had previously bought a Russian sailors t-shirt with a black stripe and thought I'd buy a brighter version. The other supplier didn't have the size I wanted so bought this item figuring there wouldn't be too much difference with style and quality...oops! The material is on the flimsy side and after washing was left misshapen, and the other disappointing thing was the colour, I ordered red but the shirt was orange and it was patchy in places. A shipwreck!

Why on earth was the label stitched, with little teeny tiny stitches, over the hem on the left bottom of the main part? It took ages to unpick. Please don't tell me it was meant to be part of the item. All very strange.

Very nice t-shirt as expected and wanted

The body of the shirt was small, and very rigid, quite unlike normal t-shirt fabric. Strangely, the sleeves were too loose. I gave the shirt away as I couldn't wear it. The recipient is several sizes smaller than me, and finds it comfortable.
