Promising review: "These are my husband's favorite tees! He has had them in every single color for the past few years and will always replace them when he gets a hole in them (if ever). They're soft, comfortable and wash and dry easily. For size reference, he is 5'10", 150 lbs and wears size Large. I always make sure to grab more when they go on sale.
