Okay and reasonably priced but not as thick as I want my shirts to be.

I buy a lot of Russel T-shirts. This time I ordered 3 different colors. Dark blue, dark green and maroon. I'd say that's normal, but there's nothing special to brag about. The colors are as advertised, they are as expected but the material seemed a little thin to me. Fair price but for Russell I was a bit disappointed.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Update Availability

Great for Big Boys - Clothes

Perfect for me. I lift a lot of weights, I have big shoulders and chest. Even as you do more cardio and lose weight, it becomes increasingly difficult to find a "regular" size t-shirt. I need a looser 2x or regular 3x shirt with extra length. Look no further. This Russell shirt is great for working out, it's extra long to be about three inches below your waist, but also looks great with a good pair of shorts or jeans for a night out. Completely satisfied.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Crumpled

Great basic shirt! Best of Clothes

I didn't know what to expect from this product. For the price unbeatable! I bought one to try first and love how it fits me. I'm between medium and tall. For size reference, I bought a medium, I'm 5ft 11" and 175lbs. This shirt fits just right. Even after washing and drying it does not shrink. I like to wear them to workouts and just in general. They are not too thin and not too thick. Everything is as expected. Have that classic Oxford, Heather Black and Heather Navy, they all have the same…

and they still look new after dozens of washes

Slightly thinner fabric material than other colors in this line that does not wash well after multiple washes - fabric tablets. I bought this product thinking that a polyester blend fabric would be pill resistant as opposed to regular cotton fabric, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Incidentally, I bought the same line of products (in a different color) from a store a few years ago and they still look brand new after dozens of washes. I am still evaluating the other colors in this line that

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers

The perfect t-shirts for me

I love these t-shirts. These are the first shirts I have ever found that fit my body well and also fit snugly around my arms. My hands often ruin my shirts. Hands on it are the right length and fit. I'm 6ft 2in and 260 pounds like a pandemic. My arms are muscular, I'm athletic but definitely a bit overweight. I compare the fit to the original Mossimo t-shirts that were sold at Target before they moved production elsewhere, the shape has changed. I like it. 2xl on these fits like 2xl on these…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Protection

Nice shirt at a reasonable price but Russell has sold himself to the devil!

So far these shirts fit almost like the original 10+ year old shirts, no rips or tears. I checked out Russel Athletic and found they are still being used. Although two things really bother me. My original shirts that last forever are made in the USA. Her addition eludes the fact that the shirts are still from the USA. It pisses me off that their shirts aren't made in the USA anymore. I'm sick of a manufacturer formerly from the USA making clothes of the highest quality! This belies the fact…

Very thin material, great for t-shirts

I've had several Russell t-shirts over the years and they're the thinnest material I've ever had on any of my shirts have seen. I don't know why men's t-shirts are suddenly being made out of the thin fabric tissue paper. I bought some Russell t shirts a few years ago and they were made of a much heavier material. Maybe they are made specifically for Revain? They're still pretty well made and there's nothing wrong with these shirts, but I prefer a slimmer shirt. They are also a bit small for my…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

AWESOME T-SHIRTS

I bought these shirts because my XL shirts are too big for me and I had to downsize. I usually buy hemp shirts for their comfort, but for $30 a shirt I was willing to take a chance and buy something else. I have owned Russell products in the past and remember buying gear when I was in school. You can take them with you in the summer and at the gym. Mine hold up well in the wash, the color hasn't faded or shrunk. They're so cheap that if you're on the fence, just go for it. Originally I wanted…

  • Great design

Used to be good quality but something happened recently

I've been buying these shirts for 2 years. Size 4xl dark grey. I actually ordered a couple of 2 weeks ago and they arrived as expected, I ordered 5 more and when I received them they were completely different. The location and color of the label next to it on these shirts will be different than what is pictured with the description above. The news says they are 60% cotton and 40% polyester but they appear to be lighter and thinner cotton materials than what I received a few weeks ago. The new…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Functionality

Very thin fabric on Active

I've had several Russell t-shirts over the years and they are by far the thinnest material. I've ever seen one in any of her shirts.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • I really don't like it, it's ok
