Just bought a wonderful travel top!

I've been looking for some long-sleeved tops for my upcoming Iceland/Scandinavia trip. I have a merino-wool top and another warmer one, but I wanted something that could help if it got warmer outside. I found these cotton modal long-sleeve tops on Quince that I absolutely love! They were delivered yesterday (I ordered 3 of them in black, navy and olive green) and feel SO good against the skin, look great (a bit drapey and not clingy at all, which I hate) and the binding around the neck is wider, which makes it more stable (imo). They're also a good length—not cropped but not too long.

They are VERY lightweight, and I am quite sure will dry very quickly. They're also only $21, and if you buy 3, they are 20% off. I will definitely let you know how they worked on the trip, but thought I'd post a blurb about them now, because they really seem like wonderful garments for traveling! FWIW, they look better on me than they do in the photos (it's usually the opposite, lol!). https://www.quince.com/women/cotton-modal-relaxed-long-sleeve-tee

Mardee, thanks for posting. They look great. Did you find the size chart to be accurate? The only items I've purchased from Quince are their cashmere sweaters.

Maybe you should post a photo in your online review!

You may want to toss in a short sleeve top depending on forecasts. In May/June 2023 we had t-shirt weather away from the western coast.

Edited to add another question after looking at more photos. Are the sleeves super long? Thanks.

jean, I think the size chart is very accurate. I bought the size I usually do and it fits perfectly, which I've found is usually the case with Quince. I am bringing one or two SS tops just in case, but I already have some. And these new tops feel cool enough that I don't think they would be much different than a SS top in warm weather.

And yes, I will post a photo of them!

I'm interested in finding out how fast they dry when hanging. I have a similar top from a different brand, but takes forever to dry.

Mardee:
This is just what I have been looking for as I saw on another recent post about this company, Quince. I am looking for long sleeve tops and usually just buy from Lands' End, but I saw Quince on instagram and am very interested! We will be traveling for 5 and half weeks in the fall and I need tops I can wash and dry overnight. These sound perfect! I am wondering about sizing though and length. As I mentioned, I shop at Lands' End and end up getting petite (medium) as the tops are so long. What are your thoughts? Thanks so much for the post!!

Mardee, I've been playing this new fun game. "Guess the OP, by post title"! ;) I usually can pick yours right off! I REALLY like Quince. I bought a couple linen pieces for the summer from them. Amazing quality! I also was gifted a silk pillowcase from Quince that goes a long way to keeping my hair from getting crazy overnight. Those tops are priced similar to Target!

As I've said more than once, I hate shopping. For clothes, I've now added Quince to my "regulars" which includes Nordstrom, LLBean and Eddie Bauer, and of course, Costco.

Mardee, I’m happy to know that their sizing fit you. I found Quince’s sizing all over the spectrum and have almost quit buying from them. I don’t like buying clothes without trying them on or being able to feel the material, regardless of how good the return policy is.

I bought this top before our Portland trip. It packed well, no wrinkles, very comfortable. I haven’t washed it yet; hoping it doesn’t shrink like the yak sweater did.

Mardee, those look very nice!

I love a cotton/modal blend. I used to get Lands End tees in that blend but they haven't carried their classic crew neck tee in it in a long time. I've gotten several Cotton/Modal blend tees at my local Fred Meyer (Kroger). It's the Dip brand and they are usually $10.99. They hand wash and dry well but don't last long because they get those micro-pinholes over my zipper or button at the waist band.

It sounds like Mardee needs to run a hand wash and dry test before she travels!

And Horsewoofie...that cherry red top looks excellent!

I will definitely wash them. In fact, I plan to do that tonight and will let you know how long they take to dry.

I am a bit of a Quince junkie and bought this shirt for an April/May trip to England. It was comfortable and draped well and seemed to be true to size which doesn’t always happen with more tailored clothes from Quince. I haven’t worn the shirt much since I returned because long sleeves and DC summers are not a good match. Some of the short sleeve v necks shirts I bought a while ago did seem to lose their shape a little after multiple washes but I’m still wearing them a year and a half later.

Thanks so much for posting this Mardee! I am allergic to wool/cashmere so when most people post about long sleeved tops, it's not something I can wear. And thanks jules m for posting about the linen tops. I'd looked at some on their site recently and they looked even bigger/boxier than I tend to wear, but with the sale on the long sleeve t shirt I've ordered that and a short sleeve linen top and will see how they work!

Ha, I knew was you before I even clicked on the thread:)

I love Quince and just ordered 4 of these. Well 8, as I got two sizes of each since the reviews said if you put them in the dryer they shrink so to size up. I got the black, navy, gray and a purplish blue.

Happy to oblige you all! Seriously, I just liked them so much I had to share them with you all!

Hi Mardee,
We’re in Oslo now, have been for a week. Ohmygosh did I pack wrong. It’s SO warm and muggy! I only have 1 short sleeve t shirt and it gets reworn as much as possible. Even 3/4 sleeve linen blouse feels warm. Jeans are much too hot to wear. My puffy vest stays in the suitcase. And I’m someone who is usually cold. Just thought I’d let you know. Headed out to the fjords today, supposed to be 84 degrees in Flåm.
