A gift for a friend of mine who needed a binder he could wear more comfortably and convincingly. This works very well, no "shelf" appearance and very good compression on the breasts and hips. He can breathe and eat and move around much better than he could in his half torso binder.

The best binding AND the best comfort? This is the one!
I’ve despaired of finding a binder that works effectively and doesn’t drive me to sensory madness with scratchy fabric or odd seams. Finally, I’ve found THE ONE.
About me: My goal has been to be able to wear men’s shirts that fit my narrow shoulders and skinny chicken neck. That means fitting my G-cup chest into an XS dress shirt: yikes.
My underbust measures 30”, and the widest part of my chest without a binder is 38”. I ordered an M, and it comfortably compresses and redistributes my chest down to 34.5”! PERFECT fit! I look like I’ve got some fairly serious pecs, but that’s all — no button gapping, no wrinkles, no round shapes. And as a bonus, the gentle compression all the way down makes my hips a little smoother, and the outer fabric doesn’t cling to my shirts. Guess I’ll just have to go to the gym and get my arms to match!
I have some pretty intense sensory issues with regard to scratchy fabric, tags and seams, and compression that is overly intense in one area. This binder has none of those issues. The compresssion is smooth all the way down, so it doesn’t make my ribs or stomach feel constricted. The inside is cotton, thin but plush feeling like the inside of a sweatshirt. It’s actually comforting to wear, like a hug. There’s no extra material to bother me at the seams, and the finishing of the fabric edges is very minimal and soft. I especially appreciate the arm holes: they’re cut just right provide enough coverage but also avoid cutting into my tissue at the armpits. Right now I’m flopped on the couch, and this thing is still comfortable!
Obviously this is meant to wear under clothing, but it’s nicely made enough that I feel fine hanging around in it. Kinda sporty, the black looks good, and again — so comfortable.
Overall I couldn’t possibly be more impressed with the design, construction, and finishing on this binder. I’ll be buying another in white for sure, and recommending it to everyone.

Works great as loose skin compression!
I used to weigh 421lbs, I lost weight and dropped down to around 224lbs, and with such a dramatic weight loss, I was left with a large amount of loose skin, along with other pretty big imperfections from the weight loss that can only be removed through surgery now. This compression shirt changed my life. No, I am not being mellow dramatic. All my skin and different folds (I know sounds gross) are packed away and are tightly compact with this tank making me feel so much more confident and comfortable along with making me look, well, not like a melted candle in my shirts and various hoodies/jackets LOL. It's amazing how much of a difference this product has made in my life. Currently, I am in need of replacing one that I bought about 7 or 8 months ago, only because I didn't take the best care of it when it came to washing it correctly. Tip! Do NOT put the tank on when it is still damp or wet from washing and letting it hang dry. It can cause little tears which is 100% my fault on my end when stretching it on. This thing is super durable when dry and I can see it lasting a long time with great care. Also one last tip! If you are using this for day to day wear. Make sure to buy more than 1!

It is Amazing!
I was apprehensive to get this because I didn’t know if it was going to work. I already have the tank top from this company, and a wanted a full shirt. I am not overweight, but I am “skinny fat” with a bit of “man boobs” and this makes my body look toned. Highly recommend! Always get it one size larger than you regularly wear because it is tight as it meant to be. Also taking this off is a lot easier than taking off the tank top.

My new favorite binder!
Just got this in and I have to say, I love it! I have a very old tri top that was one of my first real binders and have loved it to the point of broken elastic. I finally upgraded to the regular chest binder tank on here but have lost weight in my chest and thought I'd try this one. I will warn anyone that has the regular tank that this one is shaped a little different, but is probably ten times more comfortable in my opinion. It's just as long, but the straps are a little different but I don't mind. The inside is so soft and feels good on my sensitive skin. Would definitely recommend especially if you're a guy or trans masc person with a larger chest.

Thank you.. Thank you... Thank you!!!
I am a post Bariatric Surgery patient. I had Vertival Sleeve Gastrectomy (VSG). I also have an umbilical ventral hernia. I have lost 125 pounds in the last year. I don't suffer from much loose skin thankfully but this hernia I have is very noticeable and brings me great sadness and discomfort and low self esteem. I've been wearing traditional abdominal binders for 4 years now. The 977 is my first full vest binder and I love it!! It just arrived today and took only 3 business days to ship. Thank you!! I feel already like a new man. It's light and not bulky. There are no lines of a binder showing and it is already keeping my hernia and what little loose skin I have in place. Why didn't I get this item 4 years ago??!!! For anyone suffering from hernia or post weight loss surgey, I recommend this binder, the 977, as it has a cotton lined inside. It feels like a traditional abdominal binder but a vest. I'm in love! I am getting a second one. I'm going to wear it to the gym and everywhere I go until I get this hernia repaired. I'm a very excited person right now. Thank you for your prompt and speedy and great customer service.
