Darong Stretch Long-Sleeve Top

Between sizes, the Darong runs true to our block: the fitted cut holds its shape through the body, and the stretch with recovery means a size up gives you room without going baggy. If you sit between two sizes and want it close to the skin, take the smaller. Want ease for a full day at work, go larger. Either way, the sleeve length and crew neck sit the same, because every size in the range comes off one pattern.

Before the tags come off, do a simple check in the mirror. Raise your arms and see whether the hem stays put. Look at the shoulder seam: it should end at the edge of your shoulder, not slide down the arm. Then sit down. If the body pulls across the front, that's your sign to move up a size. The stretch should feel like give, not grip. At $7.99 in two colourways, sizes XS through XL, it costs little to get the fit right the first time.

The Stretch Long-Sleeve Top is cut XS to XL at $7.99, with the table below for the gaps.

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

The fibre breakdown for the stretch long-sleeve top is on the label in the side seam rather than on this page: where we hold the percentages, we print them here.

The stretch long-sleeve top takes a cold machine wash and a flat dry, because heat rather than wear is what flattens an elastane blend.
