The Bottom Line:
I just brought 2 of these to Alaska and they worked great. The fit is good as I got the small size and I’m 5’8” and 155 pounds with slender build. They’re simple and comfortable. They also launders easily. Overall I would recommend these long sleeve shirts.
My Old Neighbor luisa malabet Talk I know these are men shirts, but I much ....
I know these are men shirts, but I much rather when shirts are loose on me. I’m wearing a medium. Very comfy
My Old Neighbor RK said Shrinkage Test, Shrink to Fit. Decent product..
I ordered a two-pack in Large, White. The overall quality is OK for the price and the cotton is medium weight, slightly rough. It's good for outdoor work and I would buy again.
For fun I did a shrinkage test. Verifying they measured the same initially, one was kept as received and the other was laundered twice in a front load LG set:
First cycles = warm wash / low temp dry.
Measured
Worn for 6 hours.
Second cycles = hot wash / medium-high dry.
Remeasured
Interestingly, about 90% of the shrinkage occurred during the first, low temp laundering.
Measurements: initial / final
Length (back of neck to hem): 30" / 27.5"
Width (6" from bottom): 22" / 21"
Sleeve (from shoulder): 25" / 23"
When shrunk it's within the range of a typical Men's size Large while not particularly roomy. If fit is critical I would measure a favorite t-shirt for comparison.
My Fellow Doug McLaskey tell us Poor Workmanship.
Not sure how these shirts garnered all the great reviews, but that has NOT been my experience with these shirts. I purchased 4 if them based solely on the reviews, but all 4 are already fading and coming apart at the seams (literally) after only 3 wash/wear cycles! I like the comfort of the material itself, but the workmanship is pretty deplorable. I cannot recommend these shirts to anyone.
My friend Forrest F. tell us Useful and comfortable. You get what you pay for so I'm satisfied..
For the price, and the perfect (for me) fit, I love this. I need to wear long sleeves when I go outdoors, to avoid sun exposure, and these fit and feel very comfortable (i'm 6'0, weigh 180 lbs, athletic build; and I bought the XL size expecting it would shrink nicely to a good size fit for me, and so it fits great after having been washed and the hot dryer.
If you are bigger around the waist than the chest/shoulders, this shirt MIGHT work but at the price, I don't expect the neck to hold its snugness for a long time. Fortunately for me the chest/waist are not billowy, but it is the typical "American" fit but not so awfully billowy.
But... as I'll only wear this around the house and yard, or for running errands, I would re-order. Be sure to order a size larger.
My Fellow Francesca Fiore say Very Sturdy!.
These were perfect for field wear! Got them in the largest possible size so they could be worn over multiple layers if need be. No need- wore them over a tank top and they kept out mosquitoes, horseflies and all manner of dirt. I spent 8-10 hours a day in these, pushing through Devil's club, stinging nettle, fallen trees and thick shrubs- not a single snag or tear. Soaked up a ton of sweat, washed out nicely and kept me from being eaten alive by bugs. Now that field season is over, they're great for yard work!
My Old Chap Dennis say Great shirts that will shrink, buy one size larger for a better fit after washing..
Great shirts fr the money, I one several colors. I order XXL and they shrink to the perfect XL size for me. The cloth is very comfortable and warm. The thickness of the material seems to vary by color and when you purchase the shirts. Some of my white long sleeves are thinner than other ones I own. I would suggest this as a good shirt to purchase. Buy one size larger and after a warm wash and drying it will shrink perfectly.
My Buddy Patrick Talk Great Value, Ok quality.
These shirts came in a two pack, not tagless. The fit is as expected not too big and not too small. The quality is alright, I mean at around $5 each shirt - I guess I cannot complain and expect amazing quality. I wish the shirt was a little softer as the material is a stiffer material and thick. Because of this, I would give it 4/5. The color is also fading a little faster than some of the other long sleeve shirts from other brands. For the price - this can't be beaten, but I wish the quality was a bit better.
My Fellow Big Bill say Nice - an outstanding bargain!.
**NOTE:There's an update at the end of this review!
The material is a bit heavier than expected, which is a good thing, considering that I bought it for Winter use. As an elderly retired person and living in a rest home, it's heavy enough to Keep me warm on the chilly mornings.
I liked these so much that I immediately ordered another pair of the shirts, only this time in Black. they arrived right on schedule and we're also made in the Honduras. 100% cotton and the same quality stitching as was in the blue ones. one of the male nurses saw the shirts and when he found out how inexpensive they were and what good qualities they were he also ordered himself some. If you are considering buying it these t-shirts, do yourself a favor and get to it! I am fairly certain that I will be ordering some more of these.
#NOTE: SHORT UPDATE! #
I went ahead and bought 2 more, this time in black. Arrived on time. These were made in Nicaragua rather than in the Honduras like my other ones were. However the same quality of material and care of the stitching is present, so I'm sure these will be as good as the blue ones.
***YET ANOTHER UPDATE!
Here it is most 2020,and all thes3e shirts still look brand new! The colors are locked in fast - no fading! And they do keep me warm!
My Old Man Sean say Fits Good but Feels Rough.
Basic material. Feels rough definitely not soft. Good for working outdoors I guess. I would say for the money what do you expect but I've come across other shirts in the same price range that's softer. It's not thin it's not thick just that basic T for printing something on it kinda feel. Fits spot on though. Wasn't too big or too small. Will update after wash and dry. Shrinkage happens in the dryer not washer. I'll be sure to dry in low heat. It's not bad but it's not great either. Stitching seems good and there were no loose threads. Sleeves are the right length and so is the shirt. Took forever to get delivered like 3 plus weeks.
