Bumboo Short Sleeve T-Shirts

Posted on 07. Nov, 2009 by bespokeordie in Diary

As one would expect, you get a lot of press releases when you run a fashion based website like this. One that really caught my eye recently was about a new company named Bumboo. I have always been a fan of layering, particularly with jackets and cardigans. When I started to read about Bumboo, I became more and more excited about the men’s t-shirts they offer. The shirts are described by the company as being “addictively comfortable” made of super lightweight, semi-sheer jersey. But, what really caught my eye was the material used to make the shirts which is a 70% premium bamboo and 30% organic cotton mix. The cut of the shirts were also unique in that they were cut long and sleek, with an open crew neck, and a shirt-tail hem. I took a couple of days to make sure I wasn’t buying the shirts out of impulse and 3 days later I wanted them even more than when I first saw them. Ordered directly from Bumboo my slate grey and white short sleeve t-shirts arrived and I couldn’t be any happier about the purchase. After reading their sizing chart I chose to go with large shirts, which worked out to be a good call if you are like me and prefer a more fitted look. I have included pictures of the shirts in the packages they arrived in, individually unwrapped, being worn alone, and a photo of me wearing my favorite jersey grey cardigan so you can get an idea of how the shirt looks layered. I also took a photo where I wore the white shirt under my cardigan with the slate grey shirt draped over it for some perspective on the colors. The shirts are spectacular and really are addictively comfortable and soft.
