I LOVE these Joe's heavyweight cotton t-shirts, to me they remind me of how t-shirts used to be made as opposed to all these Dam 'premium' A.K.A. cheap, worn out, paper thin, looks like your sisters shirt, half cotton half spandex nipple huggers that everyone liked for a few years there... I really couldn't believe that became a fad (and still kind of is)... I was honestly befuddled that people were buying paper thin elastic shirts and paying DOUBLE for them at that. They looked like complete crap and were intentionally cheap... The only way those looked good was if you had a perfect ripped body and even then it was like, well, dude is cut but looks like a wanna be Cali boy... Point I'm making here is that these are a nice throw back to a regular t-shirt, yes, they may shrink a tad in the laundry (hence the minus one star on my rating) BUT you can stretch them right back out easily enough, not to mention they look like a t-shirt SHOULD look... they also make decent undershirts for the times you want to leave your over shirt unbuttoned. I would highly recommend these shirts, at $7 - $12 dollars a piece it makes them even more worth it. If you can't afford to buy American Giant undershirts or some grossly overpriced American made t-shirt annnd you like how old school t-shirts draped, than these are for you... I still like to try and buy American but if you can't then try these out.

I'm a tall guy, 6'3, and I often find it hard to buy shirts that are long enough for my body, but don't also fit me like a tent. I bought these, thinking they'd be good....I've bought other Joe's products before and been satisfied. This time I was NOT. The fabric was very stiff and scratchy....not soft or cottony at all. I was already unsure of my purchase at this point. When I initially tried them on, they were big enough...so I thought, problem solved. Then I washed them. The size shrunk from XL to medium after one wash/dry cycle. I even had the dryer on LOW heat! Unfortunately, since it's been washed, I can't even return them. Now, I'm stuck with 5 of these shirts that I can't wear because they are too tight, and I can't return because they've been washed.

This shirt fits extremely small. I am 6’3” and 210 lbs. I generally take a large in a t-shirt. Not this one. Can barely get it on. I stupidly assumed it would fit like all other t’s and washed it before trying it on. What a mistake. I wrote them to let them know their sizing chart was a little misleading hoping they would say, “Sorry, we’ll make it right and send you an xl. Thanks for letting us know.” Wrong! They simply sent me the sizing chart and asked if that solved my problem. My problem? Really? I feel so stupid. Why didn’t I think of rereading the size chart in hopes of the shirt getting bigger??!! Thanks for your help or I should say Goodwill will thank you for the donation. Sorry I cannot be more positive about this shirt as I hate to write negative reviews but sizing is a big issue to me.

My boyfriend is 6'5" and about 200lbs. I was excited to find some heavy duty work shirts for him in a taller size, and when they arrived these shirts were very long, fit him well. After a wash, they shrunk back up to almost "normal" size. They may be an inch or two longer than normal shirts, but when he raises his arms over his head, you can see his stomach.Also, I went to wash them for a second time the other day and saw he had (crudely) cut the tag out already. Apparently it was uncomfortable enough for him to rip it out midday at work.Construction is good, shirts are not soft, though. I'm happy with their quality and suspect they'd last a long time. Color is as advertized, even better, actually. And listen, it's almost impossible to expect a shirt to fit someone who's 6'5". Still, I was expecting them to be a bit longer, and the tag is apparently very large and uncomfortable.

I haven't washed these, yet, but the fit & quality of these shirts seem very good. They seem (to me) similar in quality to the Hanes Beefy Tees. I appreciate, however, that the extended sizes (3XLT) are available in many more colors. The dark green one I ordered was exactly what I was looking for, the violet one, however is MUCH lighter colored than I had expected. In fact, it looks more like a shade of light blue, than purple. I will probably keep it anyway, but since my son prefers the darker colors, I will try again.

I didn’t want to have to write this review but the sellers response today not to replace my week old T product is a huge disappointment. For I have been a huge repeat Joe’s fan in the past. I have never had an issue until now. I simply want to replace my defective product with a new one.Yes I wore it if putting it on counts. Seam zippering (see photo) happened just putting it on - really!Maybe Joe’s quality is slipping? I am concerned because I have five more new Joe T’s that I have not worn yet.This makes me question buying clothes online vs at a brick and mortar store.
