Chester Crew Neck (Bamboo) Undershirt

Excellent

A great buy!

I've worn other vests (from typical high street stores) for years under my work shirts to prolong their life and improve my daily comfort. They worked quite well, but I can't say they were anything other than acceptable. Needing to replace some which had seen better days I thought I'd see if there was anything else out there that may be better, and I stumbled upon this site. Liked what I saw (and the thought of supporting a home grown business) and thought I will give them a go. Wasn't sure of the best fit for my size, I'm the wrong side of 40, just short of 6ft4, slim with a 34(ish) waist but with quite broad shoulders from my many years of swimming in my younger days. Pretty much exactly on a 44 inch chest, I emailed a question on what they thought would fit best and got a lovely reply from Yvonne who said I'd probably be ok in the XL but that at worst they would be able to refund/exchange if it didn't fit as I like. So I ordered 3 of the XLs. They arrived quickly with a personal hand written note, very impressive. The fit is definitely snug for me but not at all uncomfortable - I like the fact the vest is giving me a gentle hug. The material feels lovely on the skin and despite it being a thin layer, it really has kept me nicely warm while the weather oop north "remains somewhat chilly". I know this will sound silly, but I actually look forward to putting it on in the morning! Because of the good fit, it adds no bulk to my business shirt, which is also slim fit, and people have been commenting if I've hit the gym again and lost weight. Bonus! So, for me I'm absolutely pleased as punch with the purchase. It was worth paying that bit more for an undershirt of this quality. Hats off to Robert Owen (and Yvonne), I'll be coming back for more when I need them, thank you!

A Second Skin

I am pleased with the undershirt and this is my second purchase. The fit is perfect and the material is soft to the skin. I have no idea how the garment will fare after multiple washing etc., but I hope for the best.
