I’m Officially Obsessed With Bamboo!

All of these purchases were my first and hopefully NOT my last Zensei purchases…

Zensei 3/4 Sleeve Scoop Neck Brown, 3

So I have learned something very interesting about bamboo…It is not only an environmentally friendly fabric it is also the softest material I have ever felt in a t-shirt or tank top.

My suggestions for something that says 100% Bamboo, size up.  Without some spandex there is no room for stretch and the bamboo definitely is not a stretchy material on its own.  So unless you like your shirts super tight I would recommend sizing up one size to have the full comfortable effect of this shirt.

I also will add that I was surprised at how low cut the shirt was. It might also seem low cut just because I like my shirts a little longer so I might just be pulling down on the shirt to feel more comfortable….

Zensei Drawstring Pant with Back Patch Brown, 4

I think I should have gone with a size smaller.  These pants are really comfortable but are a little big for me in the waist.  Even though it’s a drawstring pant I can’t make them tight enough for them not to fall down after a couple seconds.  Another thing about these pants is that they are SUPER long! I’m 5’4” so anyone interested in these pants should know they will be extra long on you too. BUT nothing a sewing machine can’t fix :)

By the way, I couldn’t figure out a way to get better pictures of these lounge pants…lol this was the best I could do…

Zensei 100% Bamboo Cami Brown, 3

I would give the same suggestion as I did for the ¾ sleeve scoop neck top above, size up.  Personally I don’t like it when I feel constricted in my shirts so if they had a bigger size I would definitely just returned this to get a bigger size. Either way, I love this shirt it is so soft and comfortable!

This cami felt a little low cut as well…but then again like I said before it might just be that I am pulling down the shirt so it feels a little longer…not exactly sure…


In conclusion…Buy anything made out of bamboo and size up it is fully made out of bamboo.

I hope this helps someone out : )

I love everything Zensei I have purchased…and I too found out that I am in love with bamboo. It is amazing. I have been eyeing the two tops you have here in your review…now I will definitely be buying these.
