Let me start by saying this Goodthreads t-shirt is one of the most comfortable cotton tees I've worn in recent memory. The ring-spun cotton fabric feels luxuriously soft against the skin - it's noticeably better quality than standard Hanes or Fruit of the Loom basics.
The fit is where this shirt really shines. As someone who's 6'0" with an athletic build (190lbs), finding tees that aren't either too baggy or uncomfortably tight is a challenge. The Large size hits that sweet spot - snug enough to look tailored without clinging, and the length sits perfectly below my belt line. The crew neck maintains its shape wash after wash without stretching out.
That handy chest pocket is more useful than you'd think - perfect for slipping in your phone when doing chores or sunglasses when they're not in use. I reach for these shirts constantly for casual Fridays, weekend errands, or layering under jackets.
Now for the not-so-great: After about 5 washes, I noticed tiny pinholes forming near the armpit seams. They're barely noticeable unless you're looking closely, but disappointing for a shirt that otherwise feels premium. Also be warned - these come out of the dryer looking like you balled them up wet. Ironing is basically mandatory if you care about appearances.
Sizing quirks: The colored versions (especially lighter hues) seem to run slightly smaller than black/white. If you're between sizes or carry weight in your midsection, definitely size up. Tall guys rejoice - the XLT options actually have proper sleeve and torso length.
Final verdict? At around $12-15 per shirt, these are fantastic for everyday wear despite minor durability issues. I've bought multiple colors and will continue to do so - just maybe air dry them to extend their lifespan.
