Bamboo feedback.
It's a couple of months since we had our bamboo T shirts and I'm wondering how people are finding them?
Was the fit okay? Do they wash alright? Still in one piece?
I'm asking as I'm considering another for spring with a different design / different colour ... but the wheels of progress turn slowly, hence I'm asking now

Yep, yep, & yep. Although admittedly not an exhaustive test what with the subzero temps and all.. (I know, DBS..)

What reg said.
Re: Bamboo feedback.
I wore mine to a New Years Eve do where a young (OK middle-aged) lady attached herself to me and spent a lot of the evening on the dance floor with me.
As far as I can remember (and, to be fair, my memory isn't what it used to be), this hasn't happened for a long, long time and I can therefore only attribute it to the Bearbones Bamboo Tee (now known as my "pulling" tee)

We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Re: Bamboo feedback.
That is brilliant Peter .
Question is though how much more attractive would you have seemed if you'd been wearing the T and also arrived at the party covered in mud after a few days BP...

Wash? I thought the benefit of them was that you could wear them for ages without needing to wash them. It's only January!!Bearbonesnorm wrote:It's a couple of months since we had our bamboo T shirts and I'm wondering how people are finding them?

Disappointed with mine now, no middle aged women have attached themselves to me
Another batch would be ace, so like mine Even the wifey likes the design, so everyone happy

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Mine fits me fine but for a Large I would have expected it to perhaps be a little bigger. First time I wore it was spending a day ripping rhododendrons out the ground. Was a little worried I was going to have destroyed it first wear but it appears to have held up fine despite initial thoughts that the material was perhaps a bit thin. Guess what I am saying is that it fits fine and is tougher than it appears.
Re: Bamboo feedback.
I would say the xl has come up a touch snug (more baselayer fit than tshirt) but other that that its been great and washes well, so would buy again. Would long sleve or womens cut ones possibly be on the cards for the next batch?

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Quite doubtful - there's very little choice in terms of styles or suppliers I'm afraid.Would long sleve or womens cut ones possibly be on the cards for the next batch?

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Fits nicely. Worn it loads and haven't washed it yet! Doesn't smell, so may be there is truth in the anti odour claims.
Very pleased with it, and the design is nice too.

Re: Bamboo feedback.
All good here, fit was good, no issues in the wash, similar to other t-shirts and boxers of similar material.

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Love mine. Wearing it now. More please
Re: Bamboo feedback.
mine is ok, size wise and washing hasn't affected it, no real pong test yet as it's winter do like the feel of it when wearing it long sleeve would be ace.
it's not that I can and others can't, it's that I will and others won't.

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Size medium fits well on a tallish skinny bloke. Worn it loads, not washed it (I've not spilled food down it yet which is generally what makes me wash clothes) and not smelly.
If more designs / colours are forthcoming I'll be in

Exactly what I was after 10/10.
Lasting several days more than normal tee shirts between washes and no smelling of me..... so everyone wins

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Mines a good fit, medium on a tall slimish person.
Washes fine.
Being hypercritical, the printed design makes the chest just a little sweaty

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Ours are fine but we haven't gone for the multi-day tramp odour yet. Been washed a few times no noticeable shrinkage.

Re: Bamboo feedback.
Love mine. Only thing I'd say is that the large is a bit snug, but I'm sure I'll shed my winter weight and slim down in the the springtime!
