Review on Men's White Jerzees Heavyweight Cotton Jersey Shirts by Dean Pascual

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Cheap fabric itches

I bought this on sale and the first time I wore it I realized I had paid too much anyway. The "6 ounce cotton" fabric makes the shirt as durable as one of those cheap t-shirts that you can buy "6 for $5"! at an exchange meeting. It feels cheap, looks cheap and is cheap to wear. The fabric is so thin that the shirt itches when worn - dense cotton creates a smoother surface for your skin and is therefore more comfortable. I thought it might be because the shirt is new and maybe still stiff due to the chemicals used in the manufacturing. So the first thing I did was toss it in the laundry. I've noticed slight shrinkage - but then the cut of the shirt isn't suitable for tall people at first - and found that the fabric is still just as cheap and rough to the touch after a wash. If I had bought this in a store I would have sent it back already. Very blank.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Something's wrong
