THE PADDED UNDERARM SYSTEM
Construction you can see.
The product videos show a white open-grid mesh body with a distinct dense tonal-white underarm guard. The guard is an integrated garment panel, with its shape and visible stitching kept clear in the white launch range.
VIDEO-CONFIRMED CONSTRUCTION
Protection where the shirt needs it.
Rather than a small underarm patch, the guard is a large shield-shaped insert. It rises into the inner sleeve, curves onto the side chest and upper back, then continues down the side torso. A raised perimeter stitch outlines the panel, and a straight vertical side seam passes through its centre.
Breathable visual texture.
The main body and short sleeves use a fine white open-grid mesh. The launch imagery keeps this material white, including when the construction reference was filmed in a different colour.
More than a gusset.
The denser insert is visibly larger than an ordinary armhole gusset. Its shape covers the underarm and extends onto the chest, back and side torso.
Defined by its seams.
The panel remains a distinct stitched insert. Its full perimeter is visibly outlined, while the straight side seam continues vertically through the middle of the guard.
The round-neck product footage establishes the guard geometry. The V-neck keeps the same shield shape, panel scale, seam layout and white material contrast; only the neckline changes.
