It’s The Gold Record The Bouncing Souls shirt. worth mentioning size range before we get into actual measurements on this review of the Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt. The word that springs to mind is comprehensive. Sizes start at XXS and stretch all the way up to 4XL. As with the vast array of colours, having an extensive size offering makes sense for the garment decorating market. The demands of the latter can be very diverse and offering the maximum flexibility is a surefire way of winning admirers. Not all colours are available in the sizes at either end of the spectrum, but that’s pretty standard procedure and to be expected.
Any review of the Stanley Stella Changer sweatshirt needs to include measurements and fit. Which meant it was time to whip out my trusty tailor’s measure and tell the tale of the tape. Good news here. The measurements as stated in the Stanley Stella product specification sheet are completely reliable. Washing is an essential part of the appraisal of a garment. It gives you a more complete picture. An item may appear sensational in the packet or on a hanger. However, it doesn’t always seem quite the same after a spin or two round the washing machine. More good news on this front with the Changer sweat. It washes like a dream and looks as good afterwards as it did before. No noticeable shrinkage, despite me doing my customary wash at a higher than recommended temperature. I ought to point out that you really do need to follow the manufacturer instructions, as well as any additional advice from your printing and embroidery company. The information they give is there to ensure the garment and decoration perform to the best level.
The Gold Record The Bouncing Souls shirt, hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt
Dedicator polo shirts are a regular fitting The Gold Record The Bouncing Souls shirt. which is my preferred styling for this type of garment. Not that there’s anything wrong with slimmer fitting polos, but I think the standard cut is more comfortable and offers maximum flexibility. This shirt feels nicely balanced, not oversized but not overly restrictive at the neck, around the shoulders or across the stomach. At 230 GSM (grams per square metre) the cotton has a respectable weight without feeling too heavy. One or two of the retail branded polos that I have are more substantial and, whilst this is great in some ways, it can have drawbacks. That added weight is warmer when wearing and that sometimes makes you think twice about taking it out of the drawer. Plus, that weight takes longer to dry. The Dedicator is perfect for day to day wear and a little layering. Overall, the finish on the Dedicator polo shirt is excellent. Gorgeously soft herringbone tape on the neck and at the side slits add a premium feel. Seams and stitching are top quality. If I have a minor gripe, and a very minor one, it’s that I’d have wanted a slightly deeper return on the flat rib sleeve trim. Just fractionally wider, a couple of millimetres. Not a negative as such, an entirely personal thing and not something for which I can mark the shirt down. One stand out for me is the garment washed finish on the Dedicator Denim. The faded effect seams are a subtly understated touch of distressed style.
