Sportlux Plus Maroon Table Tennis Shirt in Cotton, Oversized Dropped Shoulders

Maroon is the harder colour to get right and the better one to own. This maroon table tennis shirt takes a deep, slightly dusty red base and prints the Serve Spin Win graphic over it in flat white: two bats overlapping, a ball lifting off the top edge, and a rule line carrying the three words underneath. Cut from 200 GSM cotton jersey, wide in the body, with a true dropped shoulder.

The measurements, size by size

Taken flat off a finished garment. Nothing below is lifted from a supplier chart.

Chest is measured one inch below the armhole, flat, across the widest point, so double it to get the full circumference. Length runs from the highest point of the shoulder to the hem. Sleeve runs from the shoulder seam to the sleeve opening. Half an inch either way is normal on a hand measured garment.

Take your usual size. A maroon table tennis shirt cut on an oversized block already carries the volume, and going up a size only adds length.

What the shirt is made from

This maroon table tennis shirt is 100% cotton single jersey at 200 GSM. Two hundred is the number that decides whether a tee works here. Thinner than 180 and it goes see-through and clings by the afternoon. Heavier than 240 and you stop reaching for it between March and October. At 200 the body holds its own shape and stays off the skin, which is the entire point of a dropped shoulder.

Ribbed crew neck, short sleeve, straight hem, side seamed so the panel does not rotate after washing. The white print is laid flat into the surface with no raised edge, which matters on a mid depth colour like this where a thick print would sit proud of the fabric and crack across the chest.
