Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a fat guy. I like v-neck tees. Now that you know who I am, let me tell you why you shouldn't waste your money on these Hane's shirts. Let me start off by saying that I've been a Hanes guy my entire life. I've always worn the v-neck, because I don't like to be strangled by my shirt. About 10 years ago I ordered 4 or 5 packs of the 2x version of this shirt. I still wear those shirts today, even though I'm closer to 3x. They have held their shape and have not shrunk. The cotton still feels soft. Between 10 years ago and today, something happened with these shirts. They are much lower quality because of the terrible cotton they use. Let me first quickly say that the shirts, at 3x are GREAT out of the package. Perfect size, they feel good, and I loved them. I loved them so much I ordered 2 more packs. Unfortunately, I did this before I had washed the first pack. To my horror, when I washed the shirts, they shrunk to around 1x. They are rough, not soft, and they fit literally worse than the 2x shirts I've had for 10 years. I stupidly thought maybe I got a dud set, and I wore and washed the second two packs I received. Same issue. They are terrible. My wife thought maybe it was whatever direct way I'm buying them through Amazon that maybe the source was different. We found a set of 3x in Wal-Mart and it had the exact same issue after washing. Bottom line: This is not your Grandpa's or Dad's Hanes. This is some garbage that Hanes is trying to pass of as quality shirts. I read the bad reviews before I ordered and I wish I had listened. Please don't waste your money. I'm currently looking for larger men's t-shirts that don't shrink or lose their softness. I'll let you know if I find some.
