need more consistent manufacturing

By Ranked #523 - Women's Shirts April 20, 2009

I love icebreaker items ... but their manufacturing really needs to be more consistent. The Amazon scoop T is different from the Tech Ts in three ways: (1) wide hem at neck, (2) longer cut, (3) butterfly print. Out of the two of these I purchased, one had the wide hem at neck, one didn't. The fabric is soft and gorgeous (I personally think they improved the superfine 140 fabric -- to me it's softer/silkier now), but I really wanted the wide neck hem, so the shirt that didn't have it will be going back. Also, in response to another reviewer, the long shirts (of heavier fabric weights) are usually part of the bodyfit series, so they're more body hugging. This T, as well as the Tech Ts, are part of the regular fit series, so they're a bit looser.

icebreaker manufacturing is consistent-they just have different fit styles. This is a relaxed fit shirt that is designed to have a wider neck. You have to read the description and it will tell you that. Tech tees are more "technically" fit and have a smaller neck and tighter fit for layering. They have several other styles too.
