I bought these in size medium for my husband. He's 6'2" and weighs about 185. He's naturally slender and doesn't really work out. His height is mostly in his torso so undershirt length is important.

The shirts fit him well. When we washed the shirts they shrunk which we expected. The shirts still fit him fine because they have some stretch to them. They feel soft in my hand and I haven't heard my husband complain about being uncomfortable with the undershirt.

Overall these are good budget undershirts. Keep in mind that they shrink about a quarter to a half size in the wash so you may want to consider sizing up.

When these arrived I opened the package and placed all of them in with my whites to be washed. Today I did all of my whites, and there was not any item with any color mixed in. After drying I placed all of my whites on my bed to sort and fold or hangup. I noticed that a few items seemed to have a pinkish/reddish cast to them. After pulling all of the items out that appeared that way, they were all of my newly arrived Fruit of the Loom t-shirts. I've only purchased Haines undergarments before from Amazon and never a problem. Some of my older Haines were washed along with these new items, and the Haines are still a nice clean white.

I compared the labels and the Haines come from Vietnam while the Fruit of the Loom are made in El Salvador. I'd actually prefer in a way to buy the El Salvador produced items thinking it would help create/maintain jobs here in the Americas that could help with certain issues going on today. But I cannot recommend that anyone buy these items produced by/for Fruit of the Loom because there appears to be an issue with the water they use in manufacture if it is dyeing items that should be white... pink.

The sleeves felt strange, and bunched up under my arms a bit but wasn't too bad, so I decided to keep them. After the first wash, the sleeves shrunk and is almost now unbearably annoying. I know it's cotton, and cotton shrinks, but shirts with different sleeve cuts I have are cotton and didn't shrink like this even after multiple washes. They fit fine in the torso, and are rather nice to the touch, but if you're ordering, I'd maybe consider going a size larger. I ordered medium, im 5'7 145 with a 31 inch waste (no idea on chest size) and the medium was too small after I washed it

To begin with I'm 5' 08" and weight about 145 lbs., 39-40" chest and these shirt fit just right. The length is just right (stops around the crouch area, sorry for the mental image) and the sleeves fall around the middle of my biceps. In regards to the material it is a bit thin but does the job. To give you an idea, I have a lot of tattoos on my chest and arms, and if closely inspected one can make out the tattoos on my chest and upper arms while I have this shirt on. That's not to say its paper thin but it not a think shirt either. Overall I would recommend these shirts for regular wear or as an under layer.

I wanted Van heusen specifically since I purchased one t- shirt the same size and last several years. This batch was definitely not the same quality. The Large is much smaller in the shoulders . The fabric is drastically thinner and more porous. On the other hand, the length of the shirt is similar to the original with it extending beyond the waistline so it stays tucked in confidently throughout the day. For the price, it was well worth it, but disappointed they sacrificed the quality.

First off, I must admit I am totally surprised! We have not purchased "Fruit of the Loom" T-shirts since the 1960's! Back then they were very thin and never fit right after washing! Today's version is much better! The material is much thicker and the shirts fit quite comfortably. OK, the trick to ordering is to order a size bigger than you actually want! After reading other reviews and many were complaining of the shrinkage, I ordered XX-Large since my husband wears X-Large. When the shirts arrived, I panicked! They were gigantic! But after washing them and then drying them in an electric dryer, the XX-Large did shrink all the way down to a perfect X-Large! My husband loves the fit and the feel of the shirts. Warm and soft!

Best fit on the market for me - 6’1” - I wear a size medium tall and this is right in line with that size, but tighter as it is an undershirt meant to be tucked. The sleeve length is perfect, too - these won’t stick out of my polos. The collar is firm and fitting so it look professional, too. I was a lifelong Hanes tshirt guy - never again. Hanes collars start to curl due to their smaller size and strong understitch; plus they are way too short and untuck when reaching.

I would buy these shirts if they were pricier than Hanes, but they aren’t! Amazing! (Unfortunately sometimes I expect the pricier item to be better, then suffer at my own expense; glad I figured it out this time.)

I bought a size larger than I normally wear because I wanted a super roomy, loose fit.. They appear to have shrunk in the [hot] dryer, which is what I was hoping for, so the end result is a perfect, loose fit.. The one DRAWBACK: the hems on the sleeves and waist curled up in the dryer, which drives me crazy.. There's no remedy for curled hems.. Oh, and I will add, I love the length on these: a problem I have with typical Tshirts is that they come untucked, which is particularly annoying during cold weather, as it exposes my skin to the cold air.. I will definitely be a customer of these shirts in the future, even with the curling hem problem... (4 stars because of curled hems)..

This review is based on my first time wearing them. So far, so good: These are lightweight T-shirts good for casual wear, and they seem comfortable enough. Initially I ordered a Large and they fit well before washing so I knew that I needed to exchange them for an XL... after the first wash, they shrank down to the perfect size for me. They have extra length (as expected from the description) and they go down to the level of my hips. I think I have average proportions: I'm not too big of a stomach, 185 lbs, 5'10" - and XL works for me. The colors I received were 2-black, 1-Heather Gray (light gray), 1-Navy Blue, 2-Charcoal Gray (dark gray). Not a bad selection of colors, (nothing weird or bright, I don't like random assortment of colors that I'll never wear).

I bought these shirts to wear around the house and also sleep with. Some of these colors are nice but the one I would stay away from is the light stone gray color. These shirts are cheap so I can't complain much about the quality. I bought these to wear indoor and sleep with. Definitely do not recommend wearing these casually outdoors as the color fades very easily and looks dull.

One thing I will say is that the Large fits nice and I'm 5'10. The length is perfect for me and shorter on the arms which I like. I have washed them multiple times and the color on some of the shirts like the black ones have faded a bit but thankfully it has not shrunk.

I ordered these and of course clothes are not made the same. I bought this style at Walmart and they were so thin and cheap. But i did order and the quality is better. The t shirts were much better than walmart. There slender but they still fit my husband, could have been a tad wider. But the longer t shirt was great because they are just the right length . If you want to wear outside of your jeans not to long. But if you like to tuck as i do these are great. Got a good tuck and didn't try to slide up. Lol

These shirts are okay and certainly reasonably priced. But they seem to run small. Either that, or they shrunk considerably in a cool-water wash. The material is also pretty light weight. They're not awful but not fully what I expected, either. They'll work okay as an undershirt but not for wearing as a casual tee with jeans. Had I gotten a larger size, they might have been fine. Their tuck-in length doesn't seem to be any greater than any other tee shirt I've owned. Also, the sleeves are about half the length of those on all my other tees. They look kind of ridiculous if I were to wear the shirt without something else over it. Again, perhaps shrinkage. But they were washed in cool water just as I do with all my other tees that seem to fare better.

My brother wears white tees for around the house and for under his scrubs. Every time I would go visit him, he would have some thin, crop like tee on. You see friends, he is a tall guy and after the first wash, the ones he had would always shrink. Soooo when his bday came around I decided I was tired of seeing his belly button and came upon these. They have a xl tall size and thought it was worth the try.... well folks,I just got a text from my sister in-law and I think I saved a marriage. “Life altering” and ”revolutionary” are the words that were used and she wanted the link asap to buy more. Even after a wash they still fit great and are a thicker quality. A must buy for sure.

These T-shirts are comfortable and wear well .I always order the next size larger for a comfortable fit .When laundry day rolls around ,I
wash these T-Shirts using the Warm water setting to avoid shrinking these T-Shirts .I also add a half cup of Baking Soda to this wash load ,which seems to head off these T-Shirts turning yellow .Yes,I have tried using bleach in the past ,but using Baking Soda ,these T-Shirts seem to last longer .

Another feature I like is that the length of these T-Shirts ensures that the T-shirt stays tucked in securely and there is no " waist creep".

The shirts I got are of good quality. Ordered XXXLT, and they fit well. They will shrink some, as should be expected. The shirts loose a star because they shed a ton in the dryer. Even several months later they still loose a lot, although the shirts don't seem too much worse for it.
There is a real problem, however, with being able to order these again. When I ordered the first time, at $22.49 (the same price at the time of this review), I received a pack of six. Now, when I link to the item from my previous purchases, the description indicates it is a pack of three, the photo indicates a pack of six. Essentially, it appears this is NOT the same product I ordered, then, and I'm glad I read the details prior to reordering. It appears many other customers are confused as well. Questions posed by other Amazon customers for clarification of quantity seem to indicate they are a pack of six but may also be five. One customer said they received only three. There is just too much uncertainty to justify ordering again. I don't remember seeing any other item on Amazon where you have to gamble on what you might actually receive. It would seem that Amazon could easily get it together on this item, but from the number of questions they receive regarding what the actually quantity you will receive is it appears they show little interest.
For that reason, I don't recommend ordering these, at least not until Amazon can definitively address all the conflicting information in the product description.

To be honest, I really didn’t do much research before buying these undershirts so my expectations weren’t too high when they arrived. However, I was pleasantly surprised!

The t-shirts are lightweight, comfortable, and the collar stays flat all day. Two things I noticed about these undershirts are that they’re thinner than most other undershirts which I don’t mind personally but I’d understand if others would. The other is that they’re longer which I find nice because the shirts stay tucked and don’t bunch up at all. As far a size goes, I typically order a size smaller so that the shirts are more form fitting (I’m 5’8” 145lbs) and a small fit perfectly.
Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend these undershirts to anyone looking to buy new ones. Hope this helped!

Wow, I just love these light weight under shirts. They don't feel bulky, great length, stay down instead of crawl and you almost are unaware of them under the shirt. At 58 years old, I wish I knew about these year ago. Just not a fan of regular or heavier under shirts because they kind of irritated me and I felt a certain freedom from not wearing them.

Now, I feel just great in these under shirts. I would recommend them to anyone who kind of feels the same way I do about my old undershirts, which are now all discarded and replaced with these under shirts.

These are the good kind of t-shirts. They can go through multiple washes and stay white. The 100% cotton ones always turn gray. These outlast the ones that you normally find in the stores! I'd highly recommend these for anyone with hard water (or who has trouble keeping white clothes white).

100% cotton t-shirts shrink after each washing until they choke my chest, but these cotton/poly blend shirts stay the same size. They're well-made, comfortable, breathable, lightweight, tagless, 50% cotton/50% polyester, durable, economical, and almost perfect except for the prominent permanent CREASE running down the middle. Washing, wearing, and even ironing does not remove it.

I'm 6ft ft 2& 185 lb I bought the large. if I wear them untucked like usual, the shirt tail falls midway on the back pocket of my jeans. I wear my jeans normal, [at the waist]. I heard mentioned that they were too thin of material, that is not the case. I found after I washed and dried they shrink just the right amount for my size torso. And have compared several Brands. these are, after drying thicker and more comfortable than even Old Navy's crew neck t-shirts for three times the money

Not what I expected. In the photo it looks like the fabric is comfortable and moves well, but it's more on the stiff side. I realize it's a men's shirt and I'm a woman but I've worn men's shirts before that were soft fabric and not structured. There's nothing wrong with the shirt but if you're looking for something soft and unstructured this isn't it. It would be nice to wear out tho because it is more fitted. Not an undershirt tho in my opinion it's a bit scratchy.

Pros:
- Very inexpensive - the price is more than fair for what you get
- Pretty good quality from what I can tell (not scratchy/loose strings)
- Extra length so they stay tucked

Cons:
- They shrink an insane amount after just the first wash
- They get a bit less comfortable the more times you wash them no matter how expensive your detergent/fabric softener is
- They're very thin

There's not much to say about this exactly. They are just regular shirts but with an extended length so they stay tucked in under a dress shirt. Functionally, they work great - I've even bought a second package just because they do what they're meant to and they do it well. The only problem I have with them is that they shrink a lot after just the first wash. I guess that's where the extra length comes in handy though - if any other shirt shrank this much then there would be a problem.

I wear a button up shirt to work every day and these shirts have never done me wrong. I actually hate wearing any other regular white shirt under my button up's. They usually end up rising up too much and bunching up around the waist - not a good look.

In the end - I put that they do fit as expected. I would say that brand new they fit as they should. Though, if I was you - I'd probably size up and wash them as soon as you get them, you'll probably end up with a better experience. Overall though, they're pretty thin so I would probably feel a bit weird just wearing them standalone - but they're great as an undershirt. What more could you really even ask for? Yeah quality is nice, but if it's going under your shirt, who really cares? Spend the extra money on a better shirt to go over it and thank me later.

These are great! 100% soft, absorbent cotton, no tags and at least 6" longer than the regularly sized t-shirts! These are long enough to stay tucked in when my man bends over and long enough to cover my hiney when I steal one of his t-shirts to wear to bed! Label says use non-chlorine bleach. One strange thing, I compared the price offered between the 6x "Small (34-36 chest)" and the 6x "Small" and noticed the "Small" ones were about half the price of the other listed size smalls. I ordered the less expensive version which was just under fourteen dollars, and when the package came, it said "Small (34-36" chest)" so I don't know why the sizes are listed two ways but buyer may want to look at pricing for both listed sizes and choose the one with the best price.

Bought these in-store and found myself rummaging through my undershirt drawer to keep wearing them as opposed to others. So I ditched all my old shirts and bought more. No more decision fatigue in the morning! ...If only I did the same with my sock drawer.

I am 6' with a 42" waist and wear 34" pants. There is ample material to tuck in - probably about 5-6 inches when new. Yes, they do shrink, they are cotton. But even after many wears they still have enough room to tuck. Sleeves are a good length, long enough to be comfortable so that they don't hug your armpits, but short enough that a well-fitting t-shirt or polo will cover the undershirt fully.

My only "complaint" is that it is a bit baggy through the torso, so wearing tighter-fitting clothing can be a bit uncomfortable.

I have yet to wash them so this review may change. BUT I am 6'3 athletic build and I bought mediums and these are BY FAR the best white undershirts I own. They fit my length and comfortable loose, sleeves fit well and don't look awkward and they were relatively inexpensive. Depending on how they shrink I will for sure be buying these again. I wear them everyday and they look great, little thinner material but not thin enough to see my nipples under my shirt (highly important) as I work out in these after work and rather not look silly...

I am one of those old-school middle-aged guys who wears a white t shirt under my dress shirts to work every day. I'm typically somewhere around a medium or large in size, kind of on the borderline between the two. I usually buy size medium undershirts so that they will actually fit under my dress shirts (larges are typically too lose around the midsection for me). However, lately I have noticed that size medium undershirts in some brands feel a bit too tight and small to be comfortable. I decided to try these Fruit of the Loom ones based on reviews stating that these run a bit big for their size. While they seem fairly standard in the chest and shoulders for a size medium, what I find is that they run longer than other brands. This is a good thing for me, because they actually do stay tucked in while some of the competitor brand ones do not. These undershirts also have some stretch to them so they don't feel restrictive. All-in-all a pretty good fit and a good value at this price. If you are looking for a basic white t shirt to wear under a dress shirt or polo and are between sizes, this may be a good option for you.

I have purchased so many undershirts looking for something that stays tucked in that my head was spinning...until I bought these. They are long! I have gone through entire days without these undershirts even coming close to pulling out. And the quality for the price is surprisingly good. I just ordered a second package and will be taking my existing undershirts to Goodwill.
