T-shirt style cotton underwear top with a three button opening at the neck. The top is made of cream or off-white knitted cotton jersey with a fleecy surface to the underside. The round neck opening has been created by cutting a hole into the top of the garment (no shoulder seams) and then the cut part has been sewn into the back of the neck and finished with zig-zag stitching. The three button opening at the centre front has been reinforced with woven cotton and the buttons are white plastic. The short sleeves and bottom hem are finished with ribbing.
