I've been buying Carialoha bamboo shirts for a few years and I'm looking for a cheaper alternative. They look beautiful in the picture but they are almost shiny when you receive them. They don't look like a regular bamboo t-shirt. They are more of a compression tee with the amount of stretch they have. However, they appear to be well made. I have tried washing this shirt to see if they have changed and it just isn't for me. I'm 6ft 2250 and the 2xl fits snugly around my shoulders and is very long on me. I really wished it was a good alternative, but unfortunately that didn't happen.
