Just the collar alone is enough for me not to wear this T-shirt any more and I don’t know what FOTL was thinking on this design. The back portion of the collar is half the width of the front but I was willing to live with that. However what I can’t deal with is that both collars starts rolling back on itself. If I would’ve noticed this weird collar design before I washed them, I would’ve taken them back.
Also, the first time out of the dryer they shrank more than expected. That’s when I held it up and looked at the collar and thought how strange it was. I wore it anyway. It wasn’t long before the collars rolled over onto itself that it appeared I was wearing a girls shirt with piping…I’m laughing thinking about how silly I looked but I’m out of good money. I will say that the material felt nice and I love that there are no tags. Although they did shrink more than usual I was willing to look past that but if you are particular about the collars on your undershirts like me, then I’d avoid this brand until hopefully they change designs.
FOTL does have a satisfaction guarantee in which they’ll replace or refund my money but I have to ship the shirts to them. No thanks. I’ll just do my part to make sure other guys know about the collar issue and just be happy that I have new shop rags.
The cotton is very soft and hopefully with many washings the shirts will not shrink any, they seem a little small.
Great product for the money. Not very thick cotton but they will last a while and for the money you can’t beat it.
OK guys, move over. Girls these make fabulous NIGHTSHIRTS. In the winter I wear tights underneath them. I order them at least 3x my normal size for comfort sake, that way I don’t get too tangled up in them. The also go great over leggings or in my case, again, over a swimsuit because I’m 55 but don’t tell anyone. They are good shirts to wear over or under or whatever.
I have been wearing Fruit of the Loom undershirts for nearly 40 years. They have gradually changed over the years, but the changes were generally acceptable. A few months ago, I purchased some new crewneck undershirts in a 5-pack similar to what is being sold here at Amazon.
I will likely never again purchase undershirts from Fruit of the Loom.
First, as other reviewers have pointed out, the shirts are thin. They are, in fact, the thinnest I have ever owned. Brand new, they were thinner than the ones that I had been washing and wearing for years.
Second, the fit is terrible. The sleeves are too short (the picture provided by Amazon is misleading), but the collar/neckline is too high, often revealing itself from underneath fully-buttoned buttondown dress shirts. They are also a bit short, more easily becoming untucked than my older undershirts.
As a result of these problems, I have come to prefer my OLD undershirts to the NEW ones, instead of the other way around.
I will likely be buying Hanes-brand undershirts from now on.
