I ordered relatively inexpensive extra-large, long-sleeved T-shirts from Hanes, Gildan, and Soffe. All purchases were Amazon. I wanted a shirt to serve as a sleep shirt to pair with miscellaneous bottoms.

1. Washing. All three shirts needed two washings and dryings (med heat) to become reasonably soft and lose their chemical odor.

2. Country of origin: Two shirts are made in El Salvador, one in Honduras.

3. Neck label: Hanes had printed-on-cloth label; others had tags.

4. Sizing: Hanes was baggier and 1 inch longer than the other two. The extra length is good, at least for sleeping.

5. Texture: Soffe and Gildan had identical, somewhat stiff texture compared to the Hanes.

6. Cuffs: All cuffs were reasonably tight.

Conclusion: If you are simply looking for sleeping comfort, probably go with Hanes--though currently at $10.41 the most expensive of the three. If you are wearing the shirt out in the world, and aren't overweight and no taller than six feet, the fit is a little better with either Soffe or Gildan. Soffe is currently a buck-fifty cheaper than Gildan though with fewer color choices. Hope this was helpful.
