These are still my go to shirts. My closet runneth over with Three Dots. I love them!

I absolutely love Three Dots and Red Dot tee shirts. Here's why:

1) The cotton is high quality -- if these were sheets, they would be like a 300 thread count. It is not thin cotton that only twenty somethings with no body fat can carry off. The cotton has a bit of heft to it.
2) Washes well. I launder in the gentle cycle, in either cold or warm. Tumble dry for just a few minutes to get the wrinkles out, then hang dry. The shirt retains it's shape. The shirts don't get holes, or pill up. They really last well.  Over time, the darker colors will fade a bit.
3)The cut is flattering for all figures. The Deep V neck cut is nice, but the boatneck (British style tee) is the most flattering. I am on the voluptuous side, and the British tee slims me down a bit.
4) Three Quarter Sleeves: Oh how I love three quarter sleeves: elegant yet casual. Good for cool weather as well as warm. And hear this women of a certain age: three quarter sleeves cover up the forearm jiggle!
5) The British Style Tee can be dressed up with jewelry and nice slacks for a nice night out.
6) All Three Dot and Red Dot Tee Shirts are MADE AND MANUFACTURED IN THE USA!

I own about twenty  of these shirts -- have most in black, a few in Ocean Blue (a deep, rich navy), grey, lavender and brown. The grey is disappointing and blah- like sweatshirt color grey. The fabric used for the grey is also slightly different than the other color shirts (not as nice).

Caveat: the cut runs small on THREE DOTS. I have to wear an extra large, when I usually wear a large in other manufacturer tees. But for a fuller cut,  the "Red Dot" line is perfect.

Overall, the cost to quality on this tee is excellent. Stick with the dark colors -- they are a bit nicer.
