What kind of finish is the 'Raw-edge processing' mentioned in the description?
We considered readers who encountered an unfamiliar term in the product description and wanted to check its meaning. Knowing how the hem finish differs helps one picture how it looks when worn.

It is a finish where the hem is left as cut without folding and stitching, allowing the edges to roll up naturally on their own.
Usually, t-shirts create a hem by folding the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the body inward once and stitching them. Raw-edge is a method that omits that fold-and-stitch process, leaving the cut surface as it is. Knit fabric used for t-shirts has a property where the cut edge shrinks inward, so the edges naturally roll upward on their own without applying extra force.
Tonton t-shirts [Navy] is a garment where both the sleeves and the bottom of the body are left this way, allowing the edges to roll naturally while wearing [1]. Added to this is a silhouette with a relaxed width and a short total length [2]. Because there is no folded hem, the ends do not stand stiffly, and a thick rounded line remains at the cuffs and hem as thick as the roll.
hmmm, when a short length is combined with a rolling hem, the actual wearing length may feel slightly shorter than the listed total length, so it would be good to keep this point in mind when gauging the length. While the cut surface of knit fabric does not unravel like loose threads, with repeated washing the cut edge may become slightly loose or the degree of rolling may change.
We have not yet confirmed the brand's guidance regarding care methods to maintain the degree of curling after washing.
