Resteröds T-Shirts in Bamboo – Guide

Short answer: Resteröds is a Swedish brand with roots back to 1935, and their T-shirts in bamboo viscose are soft, well fitting and suited to both everyday and work. A Resteröds T-shirt is a safe choice if you want Scandinavian quality in the wardrobe.

Who are Resteröds?

Resteröds was founded in Sweden in 1935 and specialises in underwear and basics with clean lines. The brand is known for good fits and consistent quality from season to season, and the bamboo models are among the most sought after. See the whole range in the Resteröds collection.

Why many choose a Resteröds T-shirt in bamboo

The bamboo viscose makes the T-shirt soft and temperature regulating, so it works equally well under a shirt and alone on a warm day. The same shirt suits the office in the morning and the garden in the evening, which is why it often becomes the one worn most.

Size and fit

Resteröds cuts relatively slim, so consider going one size up if you prefer a loose fit. Check the measurements in the size guide for Resteröds before you order, and compare with a T-shirt you already like. That is the surest route to the right size.

The cut and the shoulder

The brand works with a clear shoulder seam ending at the edge of the shoulder and a sleeve that sits close without pulling. That makes the models suitable as a layer under a shirt, where a loose sleeve would otherwise crease. The length is classic, reaching the middle of the trouser fastening.

Compared with the other brands

The range of bamboo T-shirts for men holds several brands, and they cut differently. Resteröds is the slimmest of them, which is worth knowing if you switch between brands. The material, on the other hand, is the same, and the comfort is close.

The colours that are always there

Black, white, grey and navy are the colours the brand always stocks. That makes it easy to buy the same model again when the old one is worn out, rather than having to find a new fit. Seasonal colours come and go, but the basics stay.

What you get for the price

The price sits above an ordinary chain store T-shirt and below the most expensive brands. What you pay for is a heavier fabric, a neckline that keeps its shape and a fit that stays the same from year to year. Those three show after twenty washes.

Care

Wash at 30 degrees inside out and without fabric softener, and hang the T-shirt to dry rather than tumbling it. Bamboo viscose does not tolerate high heat, and the tumble dryer is the single thing that costs the most service life on this type of fabric.
