Darong Boat Neck Top

Between two sizes, the boat neck sits differently than most cuts. The ribbed knit gives a little before it holds, so if you land between XS and S, the smaller size keeps the neckline from sliding wide, while the larger one relaxes the sleeve. We drafted this on our standard block, so whatever you wear elsewhere in the range is the right place to start. The spandex pulls everything back into shape after a wear, and it packs down small, which is the point of a travel top.

The mirror test, before the tags come off: raise both arms and check that the hem stays where you want it, and look at the shoulder seams. They should end at the edge of the shoulder, not past it. Two colourways, $23.99, sizes XS through XL.

Take the size you take in any other piece of ours: the Boat Neck Top runs XS to XL on the same block as the rest.

Size charts are a starting point, not a promise. Body measurements vary between people of the same height and weight, knit fabrics move differently on different frames, and a measurement taken over clothing reads larger than one taken against the body. Measure yourself with a soft tape held level and snug, compare those numbers with the chart rather than with the size you usually buy, and where you fall between two sizes, decide by how you want the garment to sit rather than by the label.

How to measure for this

Fabric: 90% Rayon, 10% Spandex.

Wash cold with like colours, dry the boat neck top flat, and skip the tumble dryer altogether: that is where the recovery goes.
