Review on Hanes Short Sleeve Pocket Beefy T: Durable and Stylish Tee. by Donald Blanco

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Different colors - different fabrics (and cuts)

I love these t-shirts, but there is one thing you need to know before ordering. All colors are 100% 6.1 ounce cotton except Light Steel and Charcoal Heather. Light Steel is 10% polyester and Charcoal Heather is 40% polyester. This difference also affects the fit of the shirts. 100% cotton colors are much denser. For example, I can wear Medium in Steel and Charcoal, but I need Large in other colors. the rest are the fewest. I assumed 100% cotton would be most comfortable, but found that I prefer fabrics with some polyester. They are softer and have a little more stretch. They're all comfortable and durable, and the pockets are big enough for your phone, pens, business cards, etc. Just be aware of the different fabrics when ordering, and consider going a size up for the 100% cotton versions made of cotton/polyester blend fabric. UPDATE: I've been wearing these shirts for a little over six months and I'm starting to notice some pilling in the Charcoal Heather (40% polyester) but not the other colors. That could be because I like the feel and wear them more often than others, or because the 40/60 polyester blend isn't as durable as fabrics with a higher cotton content. I'm guessing it's the latter because I've owned many 100% cotton Hanes Beefy-Ts for years and have never seen pilling on them.

Pros
