Nordstrand Tee is a light, oversized top with short sleeves and a loose fit that gets slightly narrower at the waist. It is a top down, seamless knit with a drop shoulder construction. The simple stitch panels on the front and back create interesting lines and add some visual movement. The sleeves are shaped with German Short rows, and all edges are finished with an I-cord edge.
