Hanes Short Sleeve Beefy T Medium Reviews Summary

Quality of Material

Pros:

• "Nice thick cotton TShirt just like I (and probably you) have been looking for."
• "Great shirts, great color and great feel."
• "Well made, thick cotton."
• "Material is weighty and absorbent, unlike today’s dri-weave materials where you feel like you’re wearing a silk blouse."
• "The material is what I'd expect of a regular tee (though /not/ as thick as a beefy tee is in, say, a large), and the fit and finish are great."
• "Material is substantial- not a lightweight material."
• "The thickness and softness of the cotton are quite good."

Cons:

• "I used to buy these shirts years ago when they were super thick and super long. But Hanes went cheap and now the shirts are short paper thin."
• "The new ones with tags are garbo."
• "Some shirts I have bought in the past are sloppy and the fabric is cheap."
• "If this tee shirt is actually made by Hanes then it is by far the poorest quality tee shirt they make."
• "The fabric used feels cheap and uncomfortable, and the stitches are loose in some areas."
• "They feel like an undershirt. I could see the skin color of my hand through the fabric."
• "The fabric is now thin and threadbare."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "7 foot and got the 3xl tall and I can say that it fits very comfortably."
• "After trying it on I realized it is extremely comfortable and fits well."
• "Nice fabric with not much shrinkage so far."
• "The t-shirt's sizing is as expected it hangs well and looks good on."
• "They fit as expected, which was to come past the belt to upper thigh."
• "Finally a t-shirt that gives some comfortable slack in the chest and doesn't embarrassingly display your belly at the slightest raise of your arms."
• "I like the overall fit and comfort of this shirt. Another part of liking this shirt is that it's heavyweight."

Cons:

• "Only problem was the sleeves were a bit longer than I like."
• "They sent me the wrong color. I ORDERED 'DENIM BLUE', NOT ROYAL BLUE!"
• "They do run small, I usually wear an XL in most T-shirts, I have to get a 2XL in these."
• "They are just not as breathable so they make him hotter than the Fruit of the Loom tall ones."
• "Three have openings so small I can barely get my head in them, despite bearing the correct size."
• "This shirt is very narrow. It’s certainly long enough. It just isn’t wide enough. The fabric is thick. It’s scratchy."
• "These shirts fit very small. I usually wear a S comfortably, but the S on these was very very tight."

Durability and Maintenance

Pros:

• "Nice thick and heavy cotton. Very soft to the touch, yet durable and holding up quite well after going through the wash."
• "I love these shirts they fit excellent and im a bigger guy so after i dry my shirts i like them to fit the same way i bought them and these shirts do exactly that!!!"
• "Overall these shirts have really held up well - they put those thin tshirts to shame...seriously."
• "Beefy is a good description. Thick cotton knit that gets softer and softer with each washing."
• "These Hanes T-Shirts are fantastic, heavyweight, plenty long and hold up forever!"
• "They've held up to lots of use and dozens of washings."
• "This is a good thick quality T-Shirt. Hasn't faded, and hasn't shrunk after 4 or 5 washes."

Cons:

• "You know how you occasionally get that one shirt that will manage to attract every single strand of hair, fur, fiber, etc from your entire load of laundry, while everything else comes out normal? THIS IS THAT SHIRT!"
• "Will be returning these asap."
• "The shirt has two holes in it that look like they’ve been bleached."
• "I’ve ordered Beefy T’s from Amazon many times w/ great success. These 2 shrunk so much when washed that I can’t wear them."
• "Second, they had a rather peculiar and unpleasant odor; a smell that could not be removed by washing."
• "I’m currently trying to soak it out. If you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to smell I would avoid these."
• "Each of them has developed small holes in the front already, too, after just a month of wearing each one for a couple of hours once per week."
