Amazon Essentials Classic Fit Short Sleeve Charcoal Reviews Summary

Fabric Quality

Pros:

• "The fabric is soft and it’s stretchy too!"
• "The fabric is stretchy and soft and the colors look exactly like the listing."
• "Like everyone says, it is a thick (but not too thick for tropical heat) tshirt that is flattering, but not revealing."
• "The material is nice, soft, stretchy but not too stretchy to where your shirt ends up shapeless."
• "The material is a good quality, very soft and comfortable."
• "The material is thick but soft and I like the added thickness so they are not almost transparent."
• "The fabric is a comfortable weight for spring, summer or fall layering."

Cons:

• "However, I also cook wearing them and I've ruined 3-4 shirts already due to grease stains."
• "The fabric is too thick for that."
• "Material is awful as well. Not a nice soft cotton as I had hoped."
• "The black does fade."
• "They smell less bad but the smell is still there."
• "The V-neck stretched out after two washings, not a huge deal. But after the forth washing, there are holes in the fabric!"
• "First, it was not cotton and I thought I had purchased Cotton t-shirts."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "Ordered my normal size and it fits great!"
• "They are quite true to size, they are semi-fitted, so you get a nice shape without a tight/close/clingy fit."
• "The fit is true to size and the fabric is soft, stretchy, and the white is NOT see through; it feels like a quality tee without the insane price tag for a plain t-shirt."
• "These shirts are cool without being see-through, and the neckline is perfect for work."
• "These are flattering on women, no matter your size or shape, I think!"
• "They fit way too snugly on the body."
• "They are very true to size and are stretchy and soft with enough give to make it the comfiest basic tee I have ever worn."

Cons:

• "I sized up from my usual small to a medium because I didn't want these to be too tight. The medium is still extremely tight and super long, it goes down past my butt."
• "The shirts were way too tight and showed every belly bulge."
• "If you have any rolls or bulges around your waist or bra area, they will be accentuated."
• "I've only worn these shirt through two wash cycles and they're already ripping."
• "The size chart said I needed a medium, should’ve gotten a small."
• "However, if you have big boobs the shirt will be see-through even if you wear a nude bra."
• "The arm holes are somewhat snug and some may find them uncomfortable."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Very nice shirts for the price! About $10 each for soft, stretchy, breathable shirts."
• "What a bargain."
• "These aren’t stiff at all and very soft and lightweight for layering without being see through."
• "For the price these shirts can't be beat!"
• "I am going to replace all my tee shirts with these I am so pleased with the quality and fit."
• "Extremely stretchy and comfortable. Worth the investment."
• "They wash well and seem to last a long time."

Cons:

• "I really think these are awful. I bought four, wish I'd bought zero."
• "I wanted to love these shirts but couldn’t."
• "These were labeled 'Amazon Choice', so I thought they would be good quality. I was wrong."
• "No way these are XL. I wear L in Nike tshirts and the XL in this was so form fitting I’d never wear it out of the house."
• "I wouldn't buy again."
• "I will be returning these."
• "My ONLY complaint is the fabric doesn't hold up well against stains."

Design and Style

Pros:

• "I love the colors, design and price of these shirts."
• "Love these tees. Needed a new white and was excited to get the gorgeous pink in addition."
• "These shirts are medium thickness. Great for spring, summer and fall."
• "I love these because of all the awesome colors."
• "They are nice looking enough to wear alone or under a cardigan to work."
• "Such flattering shirts and the slightly tailored fit goes with a lot of styles of bottoms."
• "Flattering tee. This is not an oversized t-shirt, it is more fitting and styled."
