A Geek's Review
I purchased these T-shirts last week along with a competitor's T-Shirts (Dockers 4 Pack). When I opened both packages and saw a significant difference, I decided to do a technical comparison for Amazon shoppers. I measured two shirts from each package both before and after washing them for the first time. I used warm water and the warm dryer setting. Despite the claims by Fruit of the Loom, their T-shirts are not "softer fabric and shrinks less". Both brands of shirts shrank by the same amount in every measurement. They shrank at least an inch in width and 1.5 to 2 inches in length.
Although the Fruit of the Loom shirts are nearly 1/2 the price ($3.66 each vs. $6.11 each), I would encourage you to chose the Docker T-shirts. After washing, the Docker T-shirts are whiter, softer, and nearly one size larger. If these two brands were close in quality, I would not have spent my time to do this comparison. But the quality of the Docker shirts is significantly better that the FTL shirts. If you want a soft and comfortable T-shirt, pay the extra for a better shirt.
