Lookin' Good,
March 26, 2013
By: BJM1
from Ann Arbor, MI
"The new shirt is lighter-weight than earlier versions, but still very nice. Proof of the pudding will come after first washing to see if shirt retains shape and does not shrink, significantly."

I made a 'yellow' mistake,
February 28, 2013
By: mcdermc
from Northampton
"I'm a big fan of the original HEAVYWEIGHT 'yellow' TEE and I was excited by the fact that 'yellow' was back in stock but failed to pick up on the fact that they are only LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT. Having now taken delivery of one ... compared to what I was expecting I don't like the colour or the material."

Disappointed,
November 11, 2012
By: Moff
from Michigan
"I expected better from Orvis. Like other customers I have these tees from 5 years ago and they wear like new. I bought 2 new white ones to wear in my medical practice, big disappointment! Very light, they come out of the dryer wrinkled and need ironing! Way too expensive for what I could buy elsewhere for less than half the price. My advice to Orvis, go back to the previous manufacturer, I'm not worried about "organic" I want value for my money."

SOFT and COMFY!,
October 13, 2012
By: Johnnie
from Cincinnati, Ohio
"This organic cotton is lighter and smoother than the regular cotton style and I like it not being near as heavy. I wear these when it is too hot for the "regulars"; also great for indoors in colder weather. As usual, a good buy."

"An expensive t-shirt for what it is. Never quite sure it is worth the money, but I am hoping it will at least be a long-lasting addition to my wardrobe."

By: Cotacachi

"The short-sleeve light heavyweight tee is a GREAT product. Good colors, launders well, and looks great ... it's a tee shirt that's a bit dressier and doesn' look like underwear! I have four in different colors, and will be ordering more."

"I had previously bought 4 of these shirts and was very pleassed with the weight and copnstruction. The two shirts I recently purchased were not the same. The fabric is lighter and has a texture to it. The originals did not. Seems like you have cheapend the prodyuct."

Tried and True,
March 31, 2012
By: Anonymous
from West Central Arkansas
"I have purchased several of these "Tee Shirts" over the years. In fact I wait for Spring in order to get the short sleeved versions. Don't let the name Tee Shirt fool you. This is a heavier, beefy substantial T that has that jersey feel. They are tough and well built. Can't wear them out. Ample sized and long enough if you dare tuck them inside your pants."

Inconsistent sizing,
March 29, 2012
By: Carwyn
from London UK
"I am 44" chest and bought same size (L) T a couple of years ago and fitted well. New one was shorter and narrower and did not fit. Exchanged for size XL which was OK on shoulders and sleeves but like a balloon elsewhere. OK for a 44" chest with a 50" waist - who are these people?"
