Russell Athletic Mens Basic Cotton T-Shirts

okay let me start these t-shirts have a lot of mixed reviews... i will clear a few things up in my review these shirts are wonderful 5 stars for the price amazing quality here in Australia i would pay around $20 for the same quality shirt now i am not going to say these are the best shirts ever but as all russell athletic gear. they get the job done and get it done well i ordered 5 shirts in different colours (thats how you spell colour not color.) all my shirts are xl and they fit very well besides the sleeves are a little long. okay they come with a printed on tags at the top of the shirt and the R on the sleeve is printed on all of mine not sown on and have a real tag on the bottom. some sizes are a little tighter than others i wear my shirts every day and they are holding up well not the thickest shirts but not the thinest either just right mine get worn to the gym every day of the week so they get washed a lot and have not shrunk or faded at all. and last but not least all of the colours i got black, blue, red, are 100% cotton and the grey is 50% cotton and 50% polyester the grey size is a little tighter then the rest. well i hope this clears these shirts up a little i recommend these shirts to any one looking for a good training shirt or just a shirt to wear around when out and about.

I've been a Hanes wearer for life. Tagless, always decent quality, good price. But over the years the shirts have gotten thinner and began to lose their shape around the collar quicker. This time around I thought I'd search for something heavier. In my mind a plain t-shirt that was closer to the quality of a screen printed shirt you might wear out and about on a summer day, but with no printing on it. Something to use as an undershirt but that felt more substantial. I tried several: * Hanes ComfortCool - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002X78TJM/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Hanes ComfortBlend - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007VDOKB4/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 * Polo Crew Necks - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IIXEGA/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 None of the above met my criteria. They were ok at best, and definitely felt chincy. I was particularly disappointed in the Polos because they were so expensive. I knew I would be paying for the brand name, but I hoped in my experiment the extreme premium would still result in a heavier shirt. Wrong. The stitching was a little bit nicer and the collar laid very flat, but still it was like wearing high-end cheesecloth. And then I tried the Russells. My gosh, where have you been all my life? Thick enough to be worn on its own, but not too thick to be worn under another shirt. Absolutely perfect size and cut, and bright color. I'm a happy convert. Thank you Russell.

My husband likes to wear comfortable shirts when he comes home from work and most of his were pretty worn out. He's a big guy and it's hard to find shirts that fit him without paying a lot of money. Basically, he just wanted some plain shirts for relaxing in at home or using for when he does yard work. I searched on here and found these in his size so we ordered one to see how he liked it. This shirt made by Russell is a pretty good quality shirt! It's made of 100% cotton so it's breathable and fairly comfortable. It felt a bit scratchy when we got it but I've washed it several times already and it's softening up nicely. This shirt is made in El Salvador. My husband is a fairly big guy and weighs about 350 pounds. He usually wears a 4XL so we ordered a 4XL in this shirt for him. It fits him very well. If he lifts his arms, his belly shows but this shirt also doesn't have the tall length. The length from the neckline to the bottom of the shirt is 29 inches in the front for the 4XL. I originally got him the navy shirt and he liked it enough that we also bought him the maroon and dark green colors. The only other color in his size was white at the time and I refuse to buy him white since he's also pretty messy. Overall, we are fairly happy with this shirt! My husband says they are comfortable and I feel they wash up nicely. Since they are 100% cotton (not pre-shrunk), they may shrink a bit but we haven't noticed too much shrinking. For the price, we are happy with these shirts and glad we found them! There aren't any pockets on them and they would be great for anyone who wants a basic, plain color shirt!

I ordered 2 Russell Athletic Men's Basic T-Shirts, size M, color royal blue. Amazon wrote back that the package would arrive on the 16th this month, but actually it arrived already on the 9th – i.e. one weak ahead of time. I have not tried it on yet, but my immediate impression is that this is a high quality product. You can tell from the very professional way it has been packaged, and the very smooth look and feel of the texture. I know it will fit well, because I compared it to a "Chouinard Adult Heavyweight Cotton Tee - Seafoam PgmDye - M" that I purchased a couple of months earlier, where the latter is exactly the right size. Well, the measurements of the two T-shirts coincide almost exactly, up to a quarter of an inch. In fact the RA measures 21 inches, or 53 cm, across the chest from armpit to armpit, and so does the CC , the latter after washing and wearing a couple of times. The material of the RA feels somewhat thinner than that of the CC, and this is confirmed by weighing: RA shirt weight = 175 grams CC shirt weight = 210 grams And so the weighing confirms the impression that the CC material is thicker (by ca. 20 percent).

I've bought Russell T-Shirts off and on for years, usually when I want something for athletic wear -- long term, durable, comfortable stuff. The other t-Shirts I buy are for yard work, painting and such -- disposable when they get grungy or stained but useful for short term stuff. My latest purchase of Russell T-shirts is fine in terms of fit and the quality (I picked up three and they are consistent), is no worse than what I'd get from other manufactures for about the same price, but really not up to quality the standard Russell set years ago. These are thinner shirts and they have the feel of a cheep "T". Of course, The shirts don't cost a lot so maybe this newer version will become my disposable flavor? I don't expect I will buy Russell shirts when I want something quality and durable.

This product actually exceeded my expectations because of some of the reviews that I read before purchasing it. Some people said that the cloth was too thin and wouldn't last. I found the material to be heavier then T-shirts that I normally buy which come from J C Penny's or Old Navy. Some people also complained that the shirts ran way too small. I normally wear 2XL shirts but because of the reviews I bought 3XL. They fit me like a tent. They are comfortable so I kept the but I then ordered some 2XL's and they fit perfectly. If these shirts hold up I have a new source for t-shirts. Can't beat the price or the color selection either.

The fit was OK. Got some huge T shirts to sleep in and such. But that doesn't really matter. Whoever made these shirts did not fix the dye. The dark blue dye got all over the person, in every conceivable place, stained their skin, and smeared the sheets with dark blue dye, too, from sleeping on them. The dye got in ears, under fingernails, and on towels from washing and drying hands. And by the way, before it was ever worn, the shirt was washed twice, then dried and put away. Two of the Navy blue Russell Athletic Men's T shirts were ordered and both bled the blue dye profusely. What type of factory that makes T shirts does not know that you have to fix the dye before you are done? Beware of this product. Since the shirt is nice and roomy, we are going to try to fix the dye and then wash it in a laundry load with a color grabbing product. That is an expenditure of $25 more dollars for those products. It never occurred to me that a name brand product would do this. Stop cutting costs please, and make these somewhere that knows what they are doing.

Perfect. I’ve bought other Tees mfg by different companies on this website before. Most of the time the sizes are not true to what the tag says. I/e . If the tag says xxl it usually fits like a xl etc. This product fits perfectly in every way

Me gusto la calidad de la tela. Es muy comoda y a un excelente precio. Ideal para el gym o domingear.

Great t-shirt and would recommend to others.
