Quick answer

Choose your usual size for a relaxed but not oversized feel, then wash the shirt inside out in cool water and line dry. The straight fit and cotton single jersey are designed for easy movement and softness, so the main decision is whether you want a roomier or closer nightwear fit.

What the straight fit means for sleep

The Night Selection 1 Shirt kurzarm has a straight cut, which gives you room through the body without ballooning. That matters for a short sleeve top for sleeping because you want the fabric to move with you when you turn over, not twist or ride up.

If you normally wear a slim T-shirt, the straight fit will feel noticeably easier. If you prefer a close, body-hugging sleep shirt, this is not that style. Size down only if you want a trimmer look and can accept less room through the shoulders.

How the cotton single jersey behaves

Single jersey is a smooth, lightweight knit, and the cotton version here is meant to feel soft against the skin. It is breathable enough for mild nights, but it is not a performance cooling fabric. In very hot rooms you may still prefer a lighter or looser option.

The deep teal color is a solid dark shade, so it hides minor marks better than pale sleepwear. Wash it separately from light items for the first few washes in case of any initial dye release, which is a normal precaution with deeper colors.

When this shirt is the right pick

This is a good match if you want a classic round neck with a short button placket and a relaxed fit for lounging or sleeping. It also works as a warm-weather sleep shirt for people who do not like sleeveless tops.

Skip it if you need a long sleeve for cold bedrooms, or if you want a very loose oversized fit—the straight cut is moderate, not baggy. The catalog does not list fabric weight or exact measurements, so use the size options and the straight-fit description as your main guide.

How to choose, wash and wear it

  1. Pick your size by fit preference: Order your usual size for the intended straight fit. If you are between sizes, size up for more room through the shoulders and body, or size down only if you want a closer fit and do not mind less ease. Check the shoulder width first—it is the hardest area to adjust with a straight cut.
  2. Try it on before the first wash: Wear the shirt for a few minutes and raise your arms, sit down and lie on your side. The straight fit should allow this without pulling at the buttons or riding up. If it feels tight across the back, exchange it before washing. Do not cut off tags until you have tested movement in the shirt.
  3. Wash inside out in cool water: Turn the shirt inside out, close the button placket and wash with similar colors on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid hot water and heavy detergent, which can dull deep teal over time. Wash dark colors separately for the first few cycles to protect lighter laundry.
  4. Line dry or tumble low: Hang the shirt to dry in the shade, or use a low tumble setting if you must. High heat can shrink cotton knit and fade the color. Smooth the placket by hand while damp to reduce wrinkling. Skip fabric softener—it can coat the cotton and reduce the soft hand feel.
  5. Store folded, not on a hanger: Fold the shirt flat in a drawer to keep the shoulders from stretching. If you hang it, use a wide hanger and avoid direct sunlight, which can fade deep teal. Rotate sleepwear between washes so the fabric has time to recover its shape.
