The return of an old favourite. The Old Smoothy is a relaxed-fitting brushed Tencel shirt that is just perfect for everyday use. Tencel is a material that is made from 100% natural products derived from trees and cotton and the processes involved in the production of it allow it to have many superior qualities to cotton. These also allow the natural "worn in" look, that our customers have always loved about this shirt.
The shirt comes with contrasting turtle shell buttons, plus a hidden button-down collar, allowing you to wear the shirt how you want to. The shirt is naturally slightly longer in length. Allowing you to choose whether to wear it tucked in with some trousers, or untucked with some denim jeans or shorts for a more laid-back look on the beach. The old smoothy is super soft to touch and comes in 4 bright summer colours. Buy now at Gun Hill Clothing Company.
- Machine wash at 30 degrees
- Wash dark colours seperately
- Concealed button-down collar
DOES TENCEL SHRINK OR WRINKLE LIKE COTTON? ANSWERS HEREIN:
| Tencel | Cotton | |
|---|---|---|
| Shrinkage? | Yes, but not quite as much as cotton (and not nearly as much as wool). | Yes, but buying a slightly larger size usually compensates. |
| Wrinkly? | Yes, about as much as or slightly less than cotton. Some wrinkles will release naturally in a warm, moist environment (e.g., a hot bathroom). In most cases a light ironing will take care of the leftovers. | Yes. Most woven cotton requires pressing with an iron unless it is wrinkle-free cotton. |
| Moisture-wicking? | Yes. Tencel is more absorbent than cotton because it is made of nanofibrils, meaning minuscule fibers or filaments. This superior wicking property makes Tencel an excellent choice for sensitive skin. | Cotton absorbs sweat and allows it to evaporate, working like a towel to wick away moisture, thus discouraging the growth of bacteria and yeast. Cotton can absorb up to a fifth its weight in water before it feels wet. |
| Breathable? | Yes. | Yes. |
| Comfortable to Wear? | Most find Tencel exceptionally comfortable to wear. | Cotton is exceedingly comfortable and remains so even during exertion. |
| Soft? | Yes, and depending on how it is finished Tencel can be as soft as silk and softer than cotton. | Cotton is inherently soft and stretchy. |
| Colorfast? | Yes. | Yes. |
| Strong? | Tencel is stronger and more durable than both cotton and linen, and is stronger than cotton when wet. | Cotton is strong and durable, and stronger still when wet, allowing it to hold up well in a hot water wash cycle. |
| Hypoallergenic? | No. And while it is recommended for sensitive skin because it wicks away moisture, the chemicals used in its creation can cause problems for some. | Yes, cotton is hypoallergenic, rarely causing a reaction or skin irritation; thus it is frequently recommended for people with allergies. |
| Blends with Other Fabrics? | Yes. | Yes. |
| Cost? | Generally pricier than cotton, owing to costlier production. | Commensurate with quality. |
| Biodegradable? | Yes. | Yes. |
| Recyclable? | Yes. | Up to about 20% recyclable, with the remaining ‘down’-cyclable to uses beyond clothing. |
