"I have several long and short sleeve shirts, probably 8 or nine in total. I really like the shirts but I suggest that unless you are really short that you buy the "tall" size. I am 5'10" and the regular size are way to short. My last order I tried a Tall and it fits much better. Wish I would have known before I bought so man of the regular size."

Great Shirt,

"I love the weight and feel of the shirt. However, the color fades more than I expected (especially the yellow) and the white and yellow shirts are hard to keep from staining.
That does not stop me from wearing them almost everyday"

"i love the shirts but the white ones have a black liner in the neck area all the other colors dont.. when you wash the white ones... the black liner leaks on the shirt... it would help and i would buy several more if they would change the black neck liner on the white shirts to white so it would not fad on the shirt"

Why change? - a pity,
January 2, 2010
By:
Rabbfrom Texas
"I have purchased a bunch of these T's in both short and long sleeves and I really like everything about them, particularly the style and versatility. However, I agree with the comments of 'Saddened' early in 09 regarding the decrease in weight and general quality and feelof the fabric. I don't know if he was referring to a previous version before I started buying, but the difference between the new 'organic' fabric and the previous standard fabric is pronounced and obviously inferior. Still a good product, but now harder to justify the premium price. Suggest Orvis at least offer the previous heavier weight fabric as an option. I don't understand why this product has been singled out by Orvis to 'go green'. It is obviously not a general corporate policy...count the other organic products Orvis offer. Be interested to hear Orvis explanation."

"This by far is the best wearing, feeling, and looking Tee shirt I have ever owned. The weight of the shirt says something about the material, quality of construction and workmanship present in this Product. Like the late great actor John Wayne said, " No brag, just fact"!"

"I love everything about this t-shirt. Have purchased both short- and long-sleeve in a variety of colors. Really high quality...probably will last forever!! Great features like the gusseted underarms and shoulder yoke. One of the most comfortable and nicest looking casual shirts I've ever owned.
Great work, Orvis!!!"

BigTexfrom Amarillo, TX
"Really nice t-shirt. Been looking for a really nice thick cotton t-shirt for a while and these are by far the best I've found yet. Plenty of room under the arms, really like the side vents (style), very thick, soft cotton shirts. There is simply nothing else to compare them to. Fit perfect on my 5'9 frame. Not too short, not too long, just right. Will be ordering more!"

saddened,
January 4, 2009
By:
jajafrom Colorado
"I searched for years for the "perfect tee shirt" and as my purchase record shows, I probably own 10 of the "OLD MODEL" of this shirt. The last shirt I purchased was much shorter, smaller, and a lesser weight. Now it is not the perfect tee shirt. I'll buy no more! The search will need to start again. If you ever decide to manufacturer the "OLD MODEL" again you will have a happy customer back only buying tee shirts from you. Thank you for yur consideration."
