Copenhagen Bamboo long sleeved t-shirts and layering

Short answer: The long sleeved t-shirt is the most useful piece in the transitional seasons. In bamboo viscose it does not add bulk under other clothes and can be worn both as an outer layer and as a base layer.

Base layer without bulk

A thin long sleeved top under a shirt or knitwear gives warmth without adding volume. That is why it is used more than an extra jumper. See the models in long sleeved bamboo t-shirt for men.

Alone in the transitional seasons

In April and October the long sleeved t-shirt is often enough on its own. For women there are several lengths and necklines in long sleeved bamboo t-shirt for women.

Sleeve length and fit

The sleeve should end at the wrist, otherwise it rides up when you bend your arm. Measure the sleeve length on a top you know and compare with the size guide.

Washing

Long sleeved tops wear most at the elbow. Wash inside out at 30 to 40 degrees and air dry. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Colour and use

Black and navy are used most as a base layer, because they do not show through light shirts. White and light shades are worn alone. See the other tops in bamboo tops for women.
