They shrink a WHOLE size 🫠
3 out of 5 stars
They shrink a WHOLE size 🫠
I will start off by saying that I bought a size larger bc someone mentioned shrinkage. The XL shrunk down to literally a medium/large (depending on your shirt of choice) and shrunk up in length by A LOT. (See photos) I got these shirts to lounge in so they shrunk to my actual lounge size of a large. I did dry them because I wanted to see how much they would shrink because once I got them they were huge in the arms, shoulders, and chest area but tapered in the waist and hip. I will hang dry the next one to see how much just washing will shrink the shirts.That being said, they are a typical plain cotton T-shirt. They do have a tag that you will have to cut out. These shirts do NOT have side seams like some tshirts have so that was a plus for me. They have a thinner side to them (which is great for the summer weather) but if you need long lasting durability or thickness for warmth I'm not sure this would be your choice.As for color fading, I did notice some change after the first wash but nothing drastic. The maroon though seems pretty accurate to the photos. Time will only tell on how much the color is lost through washes. The shirt does wrinkle but most T-shirts do. The shirt can be worn as an undershirt or a lounge shirt which is my plan, or maybe even put your own logo or design on it so it versatile.Hands down these shirts only get 3⭐ because of the inconsistencies in sizing shrinkage, the annoying tag, and the quality will be questionable.UPDATE: The 👕 still shrunk with just machine wash and hang dry. It did not shrink a full size but it did take centimeters in size around the arms, length, and chest. The length shrunk the most. That being said, if you prefer to machine dry them then get a size up one maybe two and take into account your torso length as well. If you hang dry then you should be okay.

    I’ve purchased 100% cotton, black crew-neck T-shirts from Hanes, Gildan, and Fruit of the Loom. (I’m going through a minimalist phase right now).

    Of the three, I like these the best. The others are thinner and softer, so my nipples are less visibly erect in these than the other two brands. After three washings, the necks are still as well-shaped as when they arrived.

    I am wearing these tucked in with slacks and sports jackets. I think they look great that way, for $5 or so per shirt, compared to $30-$45 designer shirts.

    The sleeve lengths are great, the shirts shrank the perfect amount for me (I’m between an XL and L, so order XLs and hope they’ll shrink), and are sturdy.

    The one thing I’d prefer is if they were labelless. They say in the description they are no label, but I’ve ordered a four-pack and a six-pack and they have labels. You can rip them off, but then I have sometimes discovered I’ve put them on backwards (back in the front), so now I’m leaving the labels on.

    Great value.

The fabric is tag-free, reducing irritation, and holds up well after multiple washes.

    Great Fit: Not too tight or too loose—ideal for casual wear or undershirts.
    Affordable Multi-Pack: Great value for a set of quality tees.
    Durable & Washes Well: Holds up well with minimal shrinkage.
    Tag-Free Design: No itchy tags for added comfort.

    ⚠️ Cons:
    Slight Shrinking After Wash: Best to wash in cold water and air dry.

    Final Verdict:
    If you're looking for affordable, comfortable, and classic t-shirts, the Hanes Men's Short Sleeve T-Shirt Pack is a fantastic choice. Perfect for casual wear, undershirts, or workouts, these tees offer great quality and value.

    I’m a gal and I bought the medium. They are great. I look best in a round neck They are long but not too long…just perfect. The fabric is not too heavy and not too thin. No one wants to see your bra. I roll the sleeve up once. They are really flattering tucked in or slouched up a little when wearing them on the outside of your jeans. I haven’t washed them yet but I think I will run them in the dryer for 10 minutes then hang to dry the first time. But I will throw one in the dryer for a complete dry just to see how it does.

    Purchased the Hanes Essentials Men's T-Shirt Pack in Black, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. The pack comes with a set of classic black tees, and the quality is fantastic. The fabric feels soft and durable, and after a few washes, they still look brand new.

    However, I did notice a minor issue with the fit. The shirts are a bit tight at the top, especially around the shoulders and chest. As someone with a broader build, I found the snugness a little uncomfortable, especially during more active movements. It might be worth considering sizing up if you're in between sizes or prefer a looser fit.

    Despite the fit issue, I still appreciate the overall design and style of these shirts. The crew neck is classic and versatile, making it suitable for casual wear or even for layering with other outfits. The black color looks sharp and doesn't fade easily, maintaining its original richness.

    I was also pleased with how well these shirts retained their shape after several washes. They didn't shrink, and the collar didn't lose its structure, which is a problem I've encountered with some other brands.

    In terms of value for money, the Hanes Essentials Men's T-Shirt Pack is undoubtedly worth it. You get a set of good-quality shirts at a reasonable price, and despite the slight fit issue, I would consider purchasing them again in the future. If Hanes could improve the fit at the top without compromising the rest of the shirt's comfort, they would be perfect.

    By far some of the most comfortable shirts I own, to the point where I specifically look for the materials it's made out of whenever I buy more shirts or hoodies. I end up buying a size larger because they do tend to shrink a tiny bit in the wash, but still absolutely worth it. My only complaint is probably when I wear it overnight the collar gets stretched out and so it looks more loose around the neck than it normally is.

    Fits nice on the chest, shoulders and arms. I'm 6' tall, weight 245, 53 chest, 38 waist, 20 inch biceps. I purchased the XL's. I like the sleave length. Other T shirts are more loose around the biceps and cover them completely. These sleaves are a few inches shorter and fit more snug, showing just enough biceps so you look strong while not looking like a show off. Hugging the delts helps too. The weight of the cotton is good too. Not too light and not too heavy. Athletic guys will like these shirts.
    They fit nice around the waist, a little loose is fine for us bulkier guys. For me, they are an athletic fit above the waist, and a classic fit in the waist area. For the price, you can't lose. If you want to hide your 50 inch waist, you might wanna get 3XL or 4 XL's.
