JBS of Denmark big shirt in bamboo and what it is for

Short answer: A big shirt is a long, loose top used as a nightdress or a house shirt. JBS of Denmark makes the model in bamboo viscose, where the long shape and the soft drape are the whole point.

What a big shirt is

A big shirt is an oversized t-shirt that goes down over the hip and often to mid thigh. It is used either as a nightdress or as home clothing with leggings. See the current models in JBS of Denmark.

Why bamboo viscose suits the model

Because the shirt is large and falls freely, you notice the drape of the fabric clearly. Bamboo viscose hangs heavier than cotton jersey and creases less when you sleep in it. That is the same property that makes the material popular for bamboo nightwear for women.

Size on a model meant to be big

A big shirt is already cut large, so you should normally take your usual size and not go up. If you go up, the armhole becomes deep and the neckline too open. If in doubt, measure a shirt you like and compare with the size guide.

Washing and durability

Large shirts wear most at the neckband, where they are pulled over the head. Wash at 40 degrees inside out and avoid the tumble dryer, which pulls the soft drape out of the fabric. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Frequently asked questions

Can a big shirt be worn as a dress?

Some wear it with leggings as home clothing. The length varies between models, so measure before you count on it.

Is a big shirt warm to sleep in?

No. Bamboo viscose moves moisture away, so the shirt feels cool even though it covers a lot.

Which size should I choose?

Your normal one. The model is already cut with plenty of room.
