The name on my daughter's shirts is " Knit Rite Seamless " .  Is that what you are asking?  We have just been given some by our doctor so I haven't had to buy them yet.On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 8:35 AM, <heather@...> wrote:

Hey ,here in Boston, they use Knit Rite shirts...http://www.knitrite.com/orthotic-afo-spinal-interfaces.htmlChildren's typically has KnitRite shirts that have a seam under the arm but I had some KnitRite shirts that were seamless with a little flap that folds over and we found those to cause much less irritation / rashing under Noah's arm....From: heather@...

Can someone from SLC take a look at the tag on their kiddos under

cast/brace t shirt, if possible?

Thanks!

The shirts Kieran gets put on him at SLC are Knit-Rite. I am looking at the bag

for them and it says Torso-Interface the original body sock at the top and

Manufactured by Knit-Rite Incorporated at the bottom. ans #0022 0906 in the

right bottom corner. The shirt is 95.6% CoolMax (registered trademark)/ 4.4%

Lycra (registered trademark) or 90.6% Polyester/5% X-Static (registered

trademark)/4.4% Lycra or 93% Cotton/7% Lycra Spandex.

I know my son has come home with a shirt the odd time made from a different

material than at other times. It looked the same but was thinner and felt more

synthetic. The one he has on now feels like a Cotton/Lycra Spandex blend and I

suspect that the one I did not like was Polyester/X-Static/Lycra. I would be

surprised to hear he ever came home with the CoolMax/Lycra but I am sure that

undershirt would be very comfortable and well fitting as I have purchased

clothes that where Lycra and CoolMax for myself and been really happy with them

and they seem to be the sort of materials that would lend themselves to being

under a cast. One of the undershirts I was given wore out fast and was thin and

felt like polyester. I think it was the polyester one and I did not like it. I

am pretty certain we are in the cotton/ Lycra Spandex one right now and although

it is thicker I do really like it comparatively. My son has had problems under

the arms and with other sores that I am sure he would not get in the

CoolMax/Lycra shirt. If I get a chance I take a picture of the packaging and

send post it. There is no mention of antimicrobial silver in the material, but

if CoolMax ends up having this in their formula I would not be surprised as

their fibre is commonly used to manufacture really comfortable underlayers for

sporting activities. This is why I think that SLC has not given my son the

CoolMax/Lycra shirt because I am familiar with it's feel.

Good luck with your enquiries! I don't know what SLC used in the past, but this

is what they are using under Kieran's casts, and like I say, not every shirt he

has gotten has been exactly the same material and some I have disliked, and I

think it was the polyester ones.
