Good quality
Color: Crisp White, Size: Medium
Fit is great, feels like a durable material. Generally a very nice shirt! Bought this for a 5’ 10” male who is 150lbs. Medium was just right, with a little bit of breathing room.

Good for an emergency only
Color: Crisp White, Size: X-Large
Shirts are good overall, but the material is too light ... if you are hairy or have dark skin, you need an undershirt; otherwise, it looks like the shirt is dirty.

Size

love the shirt and they fit well for an overweight man. All the ones I got are consistent in size and you don't see that often.

Excellent style and quality for price
Color: Grey Blue, Size: Medium
Very nice quality and affordable price. Fabric is soft and smooth, very few wrinkles after washing and drying and easy to iron. Seems durable for machine washing and drying. Fits true to size.
