Russell Athletic Performance T Shirt Collegiate Reviews Summary

Fabric Quality

Pros:

• "The fabric is medium weight and has exactly the feel my husband chooses when he buys a t-shirt."
• "The fabric is soft and comfortable."
• "The fabric is incredibly soft against my skin, and it offers a level of comfort that is hard to match."
• "The material is a perfect weight for this time of year."
• "The fabric is soft, no chaffing on long runs, and the fit is perfect."
• "The material is a good mix of cotton and polyester so it's somewhere between Charged Cotton and regular Cotton T-shirt."
• "They are great quality that’s not thin, do not shrink after washing and remain soft."

Cons:

• "The fabric faded, there were pills all over the shirt and discoloration."
• "Fabric was rough as soon as I opened the package."
• "The fabric of this t-shirt is rather rough- which is sad for a performance athletic shirt... also, faded after just one washing."
• "The fabric feels cheap and thin, and the shirts are definitely not soft."
• "The fabric on these shirts is so thin, almost see-through."
• "Material is tissue thin."
• "The fabric has holes in it after embroidering."

Fit and Comfort

Pros:

• "Right out of the bag the shirt fits very good!"
• "Fit is good, I get big and tall because I’m a heavier guy and wanted something that covers my gut."
• "Very comfortable and fits like a charm..,, not tight and make you look better around the belly … roomy shirt … material is well done and soft."
• "The fit is exactly what I was looking for and the material is soft and not too heavy."
• "These shirts are very comfortable and breathable, I would recommend these shirts."
• "These have a nice fit, the neck is just the right size without being extremely large like with some shirts in this size."
• "They fit EXCELLENT. They are just lose enough to be comfortable but not so loose that they look sloppy."

Cons:

• "It's a bit loose around the chest area and especially bubbles up around the armpits."
• "I bought this for my dad in his regular size and it was just saggy enough that it looked sloppy."
• "The fit of the shirt was also disappointing. It felt too loose in some areas and too tight in others."
• "The sleeves hung well below the arm pits. Do not get this if you are looking for an athletic fitting t-shirt."
• "The shirt cut isn't 'peacockish' if you catch my drift."
• "It's itchy it's loose all around from the neck line to the arms."
• "This t-shirt was way too large around the torso and way too large around the arms."

Durability

Pros:

• "They hold up to washing."
• "My husband loves his black 'Russel' shirts. The neck is more re-enforced, so in time (washing & drying) it won’t stretch out & sag."
• "UPDATE: 2 years later and they are still in one piece."
• "The other one lasted over a year with only slight fading from weekly washing."
• "It's held up to being washed several times without fading or the seams pulling apart."
• "They wash up beautifully, no wrinkles and hold their shape and color."
• "They are very well-made and lasts a long time."
