TM Lewin Shirt : Transparent ?

Hi,

i bought a tm lewin london shirt to test, and finally, it's very good shirt. But i noticed it's a little too transparent (white non iron shirt). Can someone advise me what model i should choose to avoid a transparent shirt please ? :)

thank you !

    Shave your chest.

    • Quite sure that would make it even worse, only heightening the contrast to the nips, maybe that's your goal? lol

  • The white poplin shirts I have from CT are the same. I guess it's mostly a material thing?

    But just wear an undershirt.

    The UNIQLO AIRism V Neck or Crew Neck are excellent for this.

    You will need to wear gray or beige underneath a white shirt for it not to be seen.

    A lot of Poplin shirts will be transparent due to the weave.

  • So what material should i choose ? Egyptian cotton ?

      Try Twill (this is the weave, non-iron is still fine).

      • CT used to have an outstanding cavalry twill shirt, but alas no more it would seem.

      • Twill is always good for a slightly thicker shirt - I have quite a few. Oxford should be good also.

    Have you tried asking the wife to lend you her nipple covers?

  • At CT, i know which model i should take, but tm, it's really hard to find :(

    • Each shirt listing has the fabric type in the product details - as we've mentioned, try either twill or Oxford.

      Otherwise why not just go in store and try on a few different shirts to figure out what is going to work for you? Can then buy online if the store isn't offering the same deal or selection.
