Excellent shirt made very durable

A nice heavy weight pocket tee which is great for work or casual use. I feel the quality in this cotton is really good, and has a lot of durability and will last for quite some time. I work in the clothing industry and I know a cheap shirt when I feel one, and this one isn’t that. If you’re looking for a lightweight shirt, this would be quite the opposite. This is a very traditional cut with a longer sleeve and a bigger body. I normally wear an extra large, and I ordered a large, knowing that it would fit me to the look I was going for. But if you don’t mind a little bit baggy of a cut, I would suggest you go with the size you normally wear, and you’ll have a little bit more room. Otherwise Carhartt makes a great shirt that’s probably gonna last longer than anything I have in my closet right now

Nailed it

Based on reviews,was a bit concerned about everything, but have had great experience with Carhartt. I ordered two like colored shirts and they looked a bit large when I got them, but after a normal wash and dry they reduced size to large which was my hope. Feel and look great. Comfortable. Cannot speak on garments from different countries and size difference. These were made in Mexico.

Looks Good and Wears Well

These shirts are made well, meaning they are stitched neatly and are constructed out of quality knit. The shirts come in a variety of colors, from subdued heathers to brighter classic hues. They wash and dry without wrinkles and we use laundromats, so that says a lot. This is the second order we have placed for these Tee Shirts and I suspect we will order more in the future. The fit was perfect for my husband who is a big guy. Use as work shirts that will outlast others or wear everyday for all kinds of activities.

Runs Big

It's always hard to tell with clothing on fitment (in spite of charts). These run big (by a significant amount) compared to most tee shirts I've purchased. I like the Carhartt products but had not purchased their shirts until now. Lesson learned...no need to up size shirts (as it should be). I typically wear a XL or 2XL in the Carhartt, I ordered 3xl on the off chance of shrinkage. They are far too big for me but that's okay, I'll keep them. I hate shirts that creep up. Great Carhartt quality as expected.

Carhartt equals QUALITY

Once again, not disappointed with the Carhartt shirts I purchased to be embroidered for our construction business. Hunter Green pictured on top of Carbon Heather, Dark Cobalt Blue, and then the navy, all Carhartt brand and original fit. Size LARGE men's and the size is 24 inches under the arm and 32 inches long- from the top of the shoulder to the bottom of the shirt. Also bought some size large Guilden brand shirts, and the Carhartt is an inch wider, longer, and the arms are way wider as well. Great quality and I know from past purchases that they hold up with heavy use and heavy washing.

My pick of work T-shirt after testing out several brands

This is the best shirt out of several brands of work shirts I have tried. I tried stocking up on Duluth Trading Long-Tail t-shirts because they had extra room called a 'tradesman fit' that's the opposite of a slim-fit shirt, that and they are a few inches longer on the bottom to prevent plumber's crack. The problem I ran into, price. Duluth Trading stuff is really nice, I mean REALLY NICE, but it's too expensive. From underwear to shirts to pants, I love their stuff to death but I went broke just buying 2-3 days worth of clothing. So began my search for alternatives. For a few days I wrapped my mind around all normal shirts being too short for me. One, I do not like plumbers crack and I bend down and kneel down a lot. Two, I conceal carry. Long shirts do 80-90% of the concealment for you if you have one, otherwise you have to dig a holster inside your pants and dig into your hip hard. Extra-tall sized shirts is a cheap alternative to the semi-custom size of the Duluth Longtail t-shirts. Next criteria I needed, price. Well pretty much everything is cheaper than Duluth, except maybe UnderArmour. But UnderArmour stuff is generally tight-fitting, so they lose that competition. These are shirts I bought in Tall size to supplement my existing longer Longtail t-shirts: Fruit-of-the-Loom (FOTL) cotton t-shirt from Wal-Mart: Average fit around my body, feels like advertized size. Thin material. Cost $8 in Wal-Mart, cheap but it's not a quality shirt at all and doesn't compete with the rest. It's just a grade lower. It's a cheap shirt but I would still gladly wear this if I didn't have my other work-shirts. Hane's Beefy-T's 6.10z t-shirt: Cheap, less than half price of Duluth. Material is too thin for me for a work-shirt. Yes, even in summer I like thick material as it wicks more sweat away. The material was too thin for a work shirt, same thickness as the FOTL shirt. Slightly trim fitting, after break-in they are what I consider 'normal' for their advertised size, slightly more trim than the FOTL. $10 with Prime. Dickie's Big-tall heavyweight crew neck short-sleeve: thicker than the Beefy-T, but just barely. Same price as Beefy-T. Very trim fitting for advertised size, I would consider these as a 'trim fit' for very lean individuals to be comfortable in. Even if I was in the same shape as I was at 21, these would still be tight fitting. Duluth Long-Tail t-shirt (did not order as tall, ordered at normal height): Thick material, comfortable in summer by wicking moisture better and comfortable in winter since it's thicker. Two or three inches taller than other standard-sized shirts which spoiled me and now I order tall shirts from all other companies. I consider them nearly perfect shirts year-round but the price, I only have 3 because after shipping they run over $20 a piece from Duluth, and no Duluth does not have Amazon Prime shipping. Nice, very nice, but expensive to build a wardrobe with. Carhartt Big-Tall Work Wear Short-Sleeve t-shirt: Material is as thick as Duluth shirt. I ordered this in tall, and is 1 inch longer than the standard-length Longtail-T from Duluth as a result. Not quite as generous fitting as the Duluth shirt, but it's a good bit larger girth than the other brand shirts. Material is slightly rougher feeling than the Duluth but still comfortable even when bending non-stop. Costs $15 with Amazon Prime, 50% more than the Hane's and Dickie's but at least $5 cheaper than a Duluth shirt. My summary is the Carhartt wins overall. Thick enough, long enough, and I tested mine in 100 degree heat recently. Like the Duluth shirt, the thicker material worked to help wick sweat away longer than thinner shirts will. But I live in a very humid area a few miles from the Mississippi river. Very humid Mid-Spring to Fall. Lots of people might not need to fight humidity this much. I can stock 4 Carhartt shirts for a buck or two cheaper than 3 Duluth shirts, and anyone who works outside often knows you can often go through two shirts or maybe even three on a hot work-day in order to keep dry. So that means I can stock up on 12 shirts instead of 9 going Carhartt to carry me through a whole week without running out of shirts, even when a certain family member (you know who you are in each family) hides them in a clothes pile somewhere for a few days. The savings is enough to make a big difference for anyone buying a few shirts.

Best durable pocket work Tees

Carhartt Men's Workwear Pocket Short Sleeve T-Shirt Original Fit K87,Port,2X-Large These shirts are the only work shirts my husband will wear. 10+ years now. They are durable,Don't shrink,They hold their color after many,many washes. The length is perfect for his size. They come right below the back pockets of his jeans so plenty of room to tuck in. And they never slid out. He wears them to work daily. But, they are nice enough to be used for daily wear. Over 20 different colors to choose from so of course he has every one. We both feel the price for these are reasonable $11.75 -$25.99.Well worth it. I can honestly say the reason he has to replace these are because he keeps his pen in the pocket and it pokes holes in it after time. And that's only because he keeps forgetting to close the pen. We use to buy these at Sears but since they stopped selling them there,this is his go to. Now I have to keep and eye on him. He's afraid they will be discontinued. This order he bought 4. This is our review. No one asked us to review these. I just want anyone that may want to try these out to know how durable they are. Hope this helps. Ronda,

Well worth the money

Love these shirts. They wash up well, don't shrink, the neck stays tight. Sure, they are pricier than other tshirts, but well worth the extra money. Others will be long relegated to the rag bag or sleep shirts for your family and these will still be going strong. Bite the bullet and order a few. You won't regret it. I ordered several of these and the Dickies. Very close. These were cut about an inch longer. Other than that, they were virtually identical. The length made the difference for me. Dickies went back and I ordered more Carhartts. But, be advised, they are a heavier material than most. Too heavy to be worn as an undershirt.

Tough stuff

Great shirts and its about all I wear. I liked the light duty shirt but it lagged a little too much with all the junk I carry so these are it. Summer and long sleeves in the fall and winter. I've been a customer since I was a kid. The offshore waters here in the northeast are unforgiving most of the time so I wear their stuff on the outside too. On these,no ripped off pockets or torn armpits,they wash well and you can't beat them for comfort. I've got cigar burn holes in them and the holes don't stretch out. The little burnholes are still little burn holes when they com out of the wash,good stuff and this is a great deal.

Very high quality shirts

My husband is 6' 3" and 300+ lbs. He requires a shirt with a pocket, a long torso to tuck in and one that doesn't stretch out or lose it's shape. He is very happy with these shirts. He isn't a fan of advertising a brand name but is impressed with the quality.
