Chinese man blames failed blind date on saggy T-shirt, claims looks like sleepwear
A Chinese man has reported a T-shirt manufacturer to the authorities after a failed blind date, claiming that the shirt was so saggy it looked like sleepwear, which he blamed for being rejected. Advertisement The incident went viral on mainland social media, amusing many netizens and prompting the authorities to launch an investigation into the product's quality. In mid-May, a man surnamed Wang, who works as a programmer, said that he had recently gone on a blind date wearing a T-shirt he had bought online for 59 yuan (US$8). He claimed that the poor quality of the shirt, a thin and flimsy item which resembled sleepwear, left a bad impression on the woman and ultimately led to the failure of the date. The man says the T-shirt, above, made it appear like he was either wearing pyjamas or that he was unemployed. Photo: Douyin 'I bought their so-called 'heavyweight T-shirt' for 59 yuan, but it turned out to be thin and see-through. I wore it on a blind date, and the woman thought I had shown up in pyjamas,' Wang said.

Best men's T-shirts by Canadian brands
Article content Article content House of Blanks is an in-house project of Roopa Knitting Mills, a Canadian manufacturer that partners with brands like J. Crew, SSENSE, Vans and Supreme. The brand prioritizes simple designs, plain yet bold colours and high-quality materials. Article content The 1009 Heavyweight T-Shirt isn't the market's heaviest, but at 275 GSM (grams per square metre), it's notably heavier than most tested. It's a bit long for my taste, but the quality feels excellent, and the neckline is pleasantly tight. There's also a good choice of colours. There are 16 options right now, including some more unusual seasonal drops, like 'Collegiate Purple.' When on sale for about $22.50, it's an exceptional value. Article content Article content Muttonhead ( produces 90 per cent of its products in the Toronto region, the rest elsewhere in Canada or New York. The brand's apparel is built for those 'who move between city streets and mountain trails,' although to be fair, this isn't particularly evident in its T-shirt designs. Article content Article content The Pocket Tee is probably the T-shirt that stands out the most in collection, but I tried the Heavy Weight Tee, which is what I want to wear most of the time in Canada. It's also one of the brand's best sellers. Note that the brand's shirts are longer than average, something to consider if you're shorter. Although I usually stick to plain T-shirts, the brand sometimes offers fun embroideries. It's probably what I'll pick next time. Article content Simons, Quebec's fashion giant, offers a lot of T-shirts. I've done the math: if we only count regular T-shirt cuts (so nothing with a pocket or sleeveless) and we include colors, there are over 230 different options to choose from right now, from the 'Waffle Nautical T-Shirt' to the 'Standard Fit Rolled-Hem T-Shirt in Baby Blue' and the 'Cropped T-Shirt in Taupe.' Many fall under the Vision program, using eco-conscious materials. Article content While I haven't tested them all, the Dressy Pima Jersey T-Shirt is notably soft and comfortable. There are better options for classic T-shirts in this list, but Simons excels at offering unique materials and a variety of designs. Article content

French Open: 'Merci Rafa' T-shirts resurface online at sky-high prices
French Open organisers handed out 10,000 brick-red T-shirts for Sunday's tribute to 14-times Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal on Monday and while most people took the souvenir home, several tried to sell them online for up to 500 euros. The "Merci Rafa" T-shirts turned the stands into a living canvas, while high in the upper tiers, fans in white shirts formed a mosaic: "RAFA" flanked by hearts and the characters "14 RG". T-shirts were up for sale on Monday morning with prices ranging from 150 to 500 euros, to the disappointment of the French tennis federation (FFT). "That some people are taking the opportunity to make money off the 'Merci Rafa' T-shirt, I find that a bit deplorable, but we weren't going to take the T-shirt back in the end," FFT president Gilles Moretton told reporters. "We did something unique, and with uniqueness sometimes comes this kind of drift. I saw some prices that scared me." Nadal dominated the French Open after winning on debut as a teenager in 2005, lifting the trophy a record-breaking 14 times. The Spaniard finished with a remarkable 112-4 win-loss record at the clay-court Grand Slam. He last won the title in 2022 and played his final match on the Paris clay last year when he was defeated by Alexander Zverev in the first round. "I don't know how to start... I've been playing on this court for 20 years. I suffered, I won, I lost. I have lived many emotions here on this court," an emotional Nadal told the crowd after watching a video of his career highlights at Roland Garros. Nadal's long-time rivals Novak Djokovic, fresh from winning his 100th ATP title on Saturday, Roger Federer and Andy Murray all joined him on the main Chatrier court. The trio walked out after Nadal's speech to greet their fellow former world number one, to a deafening roar from the fans. "To have my three biggest rivals there on the court with me meant a lot," Nadal said of the other members of the 'Big Four'. "At the same time, it's a great message for the world, I think, that best rivals, the toughest rivals probably in the history of our sport are able to be good colleagues, to respect each other. "You don't need to hate the opponent to try to beat him with all your force. And that's the message that I think we showed people, we showed the new generations, and in some way that's our legacy." Nadal hung up his racquet following the 2024 Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, initially denying him an opportunity to wave goodbye to his adoring fans in Paris. His tally of 14 victories at a single Grand Slam appears unlikely to be beaten, with Margaret Court's 11 Australian Open titles second on the all-time list. Nadal was presented with a special trophy commemorating his French Open record, with a mark of his footprint carved into the clay. "I didn't know anything about the ceremony," Nadal said. "Only thing that I knew before going there was going to be video when I go on, then gonna be my speech, and then gonna be a couple of surprises. "Then when I see that, I thought it was going to be just for this year. Knowing that's going to be forever there, it's a present that I can't describe in words." The 22-time Grand Slam champion received a send-off after his final match at the Davis Cup, but French tennis federation chief Gilles Moretton said earlier this year that "the tribute was not, in my opinion, what it should have been". He said he had gone to visit Nadal at his home in December along with Roland Garros tournament director Amelie Mauresmo to discuss plans for Sunday's ceremony.
