Default Diesel T-shirts

Hey Guys,

Most of these t-shirts are manufactured in Laos or Thailand. Do you think the fabric they use are exclusive to Diesel? I'd like to get a hold of a similar type cotton fabric that is similar to the 45-60 dollar T-shirts they sell in retail stores.

They're light, soft, but don't loose their shape as readily as American Apparel.

Have any of you come across a t-shirt with similar feel and quality as these? The closest thing I can think of are the "bamboo fibre" t-shirts, which I'm looking into.

Thanks!

Have you checked the RN on the shirt and find out who and where they are actually manufactured? If you do, you should check them out online. Diesel's shirts are custom made to their specs.

Volcom and Patagonia have similar shirts in terms of the content and shape. They don't lose shape after many washes. As a matter of fact, I have a Quiksilver t-shirt. I've had it for over 10 years and did not lose shape

While that's worth a shot, I'd be extremely surprised if the RN wasn't Diesel's own.

Where is this RN number? How many digits?

Manufactured in Thailand/Laos.

Should be on the neckline tag. Sometimes it has the letters RN preceeding it, but not always. I think it's like 6 digits or around there.

Did a search through that website as well as on google.

I came up with nothing. I bought these shirts in 2003-2004'ish...so I'm assuming they're out of date.

You're awesome! I assumed the whole number was the RN. My mistake.

Oddly enough it did not come up in the FTC but did in Canada. There isn't a phone number or website, perhaps you can google them or call the Canadian info line and find out..at least its a start.

The RN does come up in the FTC database; it's for Diesel.

Yep, looks like Diesel has their own RN number.

For reference, there's also a link to the FTC RN number search in the left hand navigation of the t-shirtforums here Right under Resources.

That just means that Diesel decided to register their own RN number so they could use on the custom t-shirts that they had made.

I don't know if they did this so it would be harder for people to copy their garments by sourcing their manufacturer or if they just did it for branding reasons.
