I like the Rothco short sleeve T-shirts and decided to try one of these long sleeve shirts. They are the same quality, which is a plus to me, so I purchased a second long sleeved one. As with the short sleeve shirts, the material seems fine and they go through the wash OK (medium temperature) without any fading. I would still recommend turning them inside-out before washing, though. The description of some items list them as being 100% polyester, but the shirts I have received have been 60% cotton, 40% polyester.
