For sale here is a shirt from the SNS Herning label, a Scandinavian heritage brand with a long history that has recently been enjoying a bit of a resurgence and more exposure outside of Northern Europe. As you might expect given their provenance, they make some serious knitwear. Knit wools are their specialty, although they also produce some very high quality cotton pieces that are arguably even better than their wools. Everything is very comfortable and with a modern fit. It’s that sort of effortless Scandinavian cool which is at the same time highly functional.
This is a more recent SNS Herning piece, coming in a 95% ELS cotton (“extra long staple” cotton, aka Pima cotton), 5% polyester knit. ELS cotton is a top-grade cotton, the same type that many luxury houses use for their tees, or that you see labels like Visvim using when trying to step up the quality of their materials. The use of polyester is interesting here, where this is used to add even more texture to the knit, giving this a really nice hand feel to the fabric.
Details are otherwise pretty straightforward. Silhouette is somewhat slim and long, where there is a bit of stretch to the fabric and the length is a bit longer than a standard tee. It’s a pretty modern fit overall. Weight is a bit heavier than a standard tee, not winter weight to be sure, but it’s still a pretty substantial knit.
Size is labeled a medium and fits true. There is a bit of a stretch, but unstretched I measure the chest at 19”, shoulders at 18”, and length at 28”. The shirt comes in lightly used, excellent shape with no holes, tears, stains or visible signs of wear.
