We're quickly learning to simply trust Jackman when it comes to fabric selection. Everything we've received so far for our first season has been knocked out of the ballpark. We bought this piece because we've always loved a short sleeve crew neck sweater. Well, turns out they can be too heavy for people sometimes. When it comes to the Dotsume Rib, you get a thick knit without it being so heavy that you don't know if you're wearing a tee or a sweatshirt. Main perk is, you get the look of a short sleeve crew with the v insert at the neck!

A ribbed T-shirt made from American cotton knitted with a hanging knitting machine while squeezing it to the utmost limit. By slowly knitting with a hanging knitting machine, the stitches are evenly clogged, and even after repeated wearing and washing, shrinkage and distortion are less likely to occur. In addition to the sense of security that sweat stains are less noticeable due to the thickness of the fabric, the tightness of the ribs creates a bulging sweat-like shape, reducing the adhesive surface to the skin. 

• 100% Cotton
• Densely knit cotton on hanging knitting machines
• Produced in Jackman factory in Fukui prefecture

A variance of .5" is within tolerance. 

Fit Notes: Most people consider Jackman to fit small. We didn't really find that to be true. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a size medium in this and it fits pretty great. This piece is a little oversized. The reason some people might think their shirts fit small is because of the density. After a few wears, the natural stretch in the cotton makes these pieces relax to a point where they don't feel quite as dense. Essentially, they break in like denim. If you're worried about the density at all, jump up one size. You'll probably like the fit better. Tommy is 5'10," 170lbs with a 40" chest.
