Resteröds or Copenhagen Bamboo for t-shirts
Short answer: Both have t-shirts in bamboo viscose without print. Copenhagen Bamboo has the widest selection, while Resteröds has a smaller series in which the t-shirt is part of a complete basic wardrobe for men.
Two ways to cover the basics
Copenhagen Bamboo has many colours and both short and long sleeves. Resteröds has fewer models, but covers t-shirt, vest, boxers and socks in the same style. If you want choice, the first is the obvious pick, and if you want a complete series, the second. See Copenhagen Bamboo and Resteröds.
Basics without print
Both stick to plain tops that can be worn alone and under a shirt. Without logos or prints, they fit in at work and at the weekend, and they rarely go out of style. That makes them the kind of top you put on without thinking. See them together in bamboo t-shirts for men.
Long sleeves
If the top is to be used as a layer in winter, the long sleeved model is a good choice. It can be worn under a shirt, a jumper or alone on cooler days, and it keeps you warm without adding bulk. See the models in bamboo long sleeve t-shirt for men.
The whole wardrobe from one place
If you want everything in the same quality and colours, a complete series is easiest. Then t-shirt, vest and boxers match, and you know what you get when you buy more. See bamboo underwear for men and the full range in bamboo clothing for men.
The fabric
Bamboo viscose feels soft and smooth and drapes nicely without standing away from the body. The fabric absorbs moisture and draws it away from the skin, so the top feels comfortable on warm days and under a shirt. That makes it suitable for work, everyday wear and travel.
Fit
A t-shirt worn on its own can sit a little loose, while a top under a shirt should fit closer so it does not fold. Bamboo viscose gives and shapes itself to the body, so most people can use their usual size. Check the length if the top is to be tucked in.
How many tops you need
A basic top is typically worn twice a week, so three to five cover a normal week. With only two, you end up washing midweek, and the tops wear out faster. Several identical tops also make getting dressed in the morning easier.
Colours
Black, white, grey and navy go with almost everything and are the colours most people wear most. If you stick to a few colours, every top works with the rest of your wardrobe. Dark colours show less wear, while white tops stay nicest when washed with other whites.
Washing
Both are washed the same way. Wash at 30 to 40 degrees inside out, skip fabric softener and let the top air dry on a hanger to keep colour and shape. A tumble dryer can make the fabric shrink and strain the seams. See all the advice in the washing guide.
How to choose
If you want the most colours and both short and long sleeves, start with Copenhagen Bamboo. If you want t-shirt, underwear and socks as a complete series from one brand, Resteröds suits you well. The material is the same, so tops from both brands can be worn and washed together.
Frequently asked questions
Which brand has the most t-shirts?
Copenhagen Bamboo has the widest selection of t-shirts with us, with many colours and both short and long sleeves. Resteröds has fewer models, but a complete basic series for men.
Can the top be worn under a shirt?
Yes. Both brands make plain tops without print that fit under a shirt. Choose a closer cut and a length that can be tucked in, so the top does not fold under the shirt.
How many t-shirts do I need?
Three to five basic tops cover a normal week if each is worn about twice. With more tops, each one is washed less often and therefore lasts longer in use.
