After the wash and wear test, the ASKET remained comfortable, dimensionally stable and generally well preserved. The main drawbacks were a noticeable twist and incomplete product-level documentation of the stated supply chain.
Product overview
1. Fabric and construction in new condition
The images below document the fabric, collar and seam construction in new condition, before washing.
Fabric structure
Collar
Seams and hems
In new condition, ASKET The T-Shirt had a clean and well-finished appearance. The stitching looked neat, and I did not notice any obvious asymmetry or skewing.
One construction detail stood out: the ASKET did not have an additional strip of reinforcement across the inside back of the neck. Still, the collar itself looked even and well structured.
The shirt weighed 191.9 g in size L before washing.
2. Fit and comfort
Fit shown before washing
The ASKET had a straight-cut fit with a relatively long body, and I found it comfortable to wear throughout the test. I particularly appreciated the Longer option, which gave me a better fit as a tall person.
The measurements changed very little during the test, and the overall fit remained close to how it had been when new.
After ten washes, the fabric still felt relatively substantial, but it had lost some of its original softness. I suspect that some of the initial finish or treatment had washed out, but cannot say that for sure.
3. Testing results
I wore the ASKET for 126 hours and washed it ten times at 30°C.
Dimensions and weight
The ASKET showed limited dimensional change over ten washes.
Body length decreased from 75.1 to 74.2 cm, a reduction of 1.2%. Chest width moved from 54.5 to 53.9 cm (-1.1%), sleeve length from 22.5 to 22.1 cm (-1.8%), shoulder width from 47.7 to 47.6 cm (-0.2%), and hem width from 54.8 to 54.5 cm (-0.5%).
Across the five measurements, the average dimensional change after ten washes was -1.0%. Most of the small change had already occurred after the first wash.
The weight decreased from 191.9 g when new to 188.4 g after ten washes, a reduction of 1.8%.

Measurements are recorded to one decimal place, but should not be read as millimetre-level accuracy. Soft garments can shift slightly depending on how they are laid out and positioned.
Structural changes
| Characteristic | New | 1 wash | 10 washes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collar distortion | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Twisting / skew | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Pilling | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Scores describe the condition observed at each checkpoint, not the amount of change since the previous assessment.
The ASKET remained visually stable through most of the test. I did not observe any twisting when it was new or after the first wash, but a noticeable twist had developed by the ten-wash measurement, with the side seam displaced by just over 2 cm.
The collar remained well shaped, and I did not observe any pilling after ten washes.
Overall, the structural changes were limited. The twisting was the clearest visual change, while the collar, fabric surface and overall shape otherwise remained stable.
Appearance after 10 washes
The photographs below document the fabric, collar and side-seam twisting after ten washes.
Fabric transparency
| Characteristic | New | 10 washes |
|---|---|---|
| Transparency | 2 | 2 |
The ASKET was moderately transparent when new in the standardised transparency test. After ten washes, it appeared perhaps slightly more transparent, but the difference was small and not clear enough for me to change the transparency score.
4. Traceability and sustainability
ASKET responded in detail and provided a careful explanation of why some supply-chain steps are listed as “Unknown” rather than presented as verified. However, no transaction certificate, scope certificate, licence number or other product-specific documentation was available for external review, so the GOTS and cotton-origin claims could not be independently verified.
Supply-chain traceability
All five stages identified: ASKET names the spinning facility in Turkey and stages 3–5 in Portugal. Its supplier states that the cotton is from Turkey, while ASKET lists farming as unknown pending product-specific verification.
Each stage scores 0 if unknown, 0.5 if identified by the brand, or 1 if the brand provided documentation that WTL reviewed and found to substantiate the stated location for this T-shirt or its production batch. Full method →
Markers group stages at the stated geographic level; they are not exact factory coordinates. Unknown stages are not shown, so the map does not necessarily represent the full geographic extent of the supply chain.
Source note
The cotton origin is supplier-stated. ASKET did not provide transaction or scope certificates for external review of this T-shirt or batch.
ASKET provided detailed product-specific supply-chain information and identified all five stages of the supply chain, including spinning in Turkey and knitting, dyeing/finishing and garment production in Portugal.
The cotton origin was more complicated. ASKET’s supplier stated that the cotton came from Turkey, while ASKET itself listed the farming stage as “Unknown” because it could not verify that origin through product-specific documentation.
ASKET also stated that GOTS applies to the product, but it did not provide a transaction certificate, scope certificate, licence number or other documentation that I could review to verify the certification or link the stated supply chain specifically to the T-shirt or production batch I tested. I therefore found the brand relatively informative, but the product-level evidence remained limited.
Product-specific sustainability evidence
Status terms describe the product-specific evidence available for review. “Not documented” means that WTL could not verify the claim from the material made available; it does not establish that the claimed feature or practice is absent.
5. Value and verdict
At €50, the ASKET The T-Shirt is not inexpensive, but it offers strong overall quality. It remained comfortable to wear and changed very little in its dimensions over ten washes.
The main drawbacks are the noticeable twisting that developed during the test and the limited product-level documentation behind the stated supply chain and certification claims.
Overall, I find it a very good T-shirt. The stable fit, neat construction and sizing options are clear strengths, while the noticeable twisting and incomplete product-level traceability keep it from scoring higher.
