Stayed soft, extra length is a plus.
Big fan of these shirts so far. A couple things to know:-They are "Stay Tucked" because they are longer. A lot longer. In the photo, I am comparing these to a Hanes ComfortFit shirt, and you can really see the size difference.-In the roughly 2/3 months of wearing these, they have stayed pretty soft!-The sleeve size is pretty small. This is important if you wear a lot of polos as you don't want your sleeve of your undershirt sticking out. Has not been a problem for me with any of my polos. (see photo for sleeve size).Overall, I really like these. I wasn't sure about the extra length but it really does help my undershirt stay tucked and not bunch around my waistband, an issue I've had with other undershirts.

Warning - contains anti-microbial additive (embedded nanosilver particles)
I was really excited about ordering these shirts after much research, only to be sorely disappointed when they arrived in the mail.My primary concern is their "Dual Defense" additives, specifically IntelliFresh, which refers to DuPont's SILVADUR embedded nanosilver particles. This is not mentioned *ANYWHERE* in Amazon's product description or photos, so I thought it was worth posting a review for others to be aware. I have included photos of the packaging so you can see what I mean.What's so bad about nanosilver? Isn't odor-fighting, moisture wicking technology a good thing?!I used to think so, but now don't anymore. I encourage you to do your own research, but the latest info says it is best to avoid antimicrobials completely because they provide no net benefit to humans and many of them are suspected endocrine-disruptors. Nanosilver is relatively new and not well-researched compared to traditional silver, but it can pass the blood-brain barrier and if ingested could interfere with your healthy gut bacteria.Additionally, silver is extremely toxic to marine life (second only to mercury), and when these particles wash out of your clothes in the laundry, they will eventually end up either in the ocean/rivers, or in wastewater treatment plant sludge, which is often land-applied as fertilizer. This could do massive harm to ecosystems.If you want to learn more, search online for the "six classes of chemicals" website and then go to the section on Antimicrobials. The Resources section at the bottom of the page has links to lots of useful info, including:--"Silver Nanotechnology and the Environment: Old Problems or New Challenges," Pew Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies report, 2008--"Some antibacterials come with worrisome silver lining." Chicago Tribune, 2/16/2014--"Germ-resistant clothes: pick or pass?" ABC News, 3/11/2012I have no affiliation with that website; a coworker shared it with me recently which triggered me to research more on my own.I returned the undershirts to Amazon immediately and did not open the package, so I can't speak to their fit or durability. I suspect they are great shirts except for the nanosilver additive, which makes this all the more disappointing.Fruit of the Loom, if you're reading this, please offer these exact same shirts but in plain old cotton (no additives)! I would happily pay for that.

Good undershirts for the money
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.

These Shrink - a LOT
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 tuckedCons:- 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 thinThere'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.

A Fresh White-T a Day Will Change Your Life
I have purchased 5 packs of these t-shirts and counting. They are the perfect length once they go through the wash and dryer. 90% of other t-shirts I have historically purchased are too short once they go through the dryer (the dryer is set to its lowest setting).I constantly tell people about these amazing shirts.A fresh t-shirt a day can change your life. Simplicity and beauty. Gates, Jobs and Zuckerberg all believed in a simple wardrobe. There is less for me to think about when I wake up and get dressed, because I already know a fresh white t-shirt awaits.

The usual Fruit of the Loom
Unfortunately not the ones I thought they were - as I sturdy have Fruit of the Loom Stay Tucked tees that have lasted through numerous washing cycles in the past year. Although the size was right, the fabric on these shirts was much less resilient, thin and transparent-like. For something that costs roughly US$ 6, they're definitely not worth GBP 20.

Size up if you want loose
I got a medium as a tie dying project with my younger cousin. Size was a lot smaller than i thought it would be (my brother is usually a medium and likes his shirts loose, i based it off this. I wanted a shirt that would hang near my thighs) The fit ended up just a regular mens small to me.Im 5ft 3", length reaches upper-mid bum.My cousin is 5ft 6" and it fits her perfectly.

too long
if you are not a super tall man, these are too long for wearing under dress clothes. i am not tall or a man, but i bought these for my boyfriend who never wears them because of the fit. to other women out there thinking of buying these for someone else, the length of an under shirt apparently only matters if you’re the size of a nordic viking.

Fits as expected, nice and long.
Bought these to wear under my work t-shirts, and the fit wonderfully. I am a 5'8 female, about 220 pounds, and I opted for the XL. After shrinking a bit in the wash, they fit excellent. I am an electrician, and work overhead quite a bit, and I can go all day without having them come un-tucked. Nice and light, and the sleeves fit tight to the arm, so they aren't bunching up under the sleeve of your over-shirt. Also have a low enough collar that they don't stick out under a standard tshirt. Would definitely buy again.
