Fruit of the Loom V-Neck 4 pack

For those that are complaining about shrinkage after a wash or shoddy quality, please keep in mind that these are designed to be undershirts worn under garments. For example, I wear these undershirts with Express 1MX dress shirts. I don't plan to wear these V-necks as plain t-shirts. The material and cut is quite different, it is thinner and designed as an undergarment.

These DO shrink. I normally wear medium shirts with a chest of 38", neck of 15", and shoulder length of 34-35". And in Medium, these V-necks felt a bit loose out of the packaging. After 1 wash, they shrunk about half a size so they feel tighter around my chest, shoulders, and arms. The length is too short as it sits just below my waist line. However, I could see how people might purpose 1 size smaller thinking that it would fit better as an undergarment, then have it shrink another half size after the first dryer session! I'd recommend buying your normal size and expect it to shrink. Go one size up if you don't mind a looser fit, although my intent was to use these as undershirts.

I liked the V-neck because they don't show when wearing my dress shirts with the first button undone. There is conflicting views on whether the undershirt should be seen when wearing a button down shirt with the top button undone. I agree with those that feel the undershirt shouldn't be visible since it is considered "underwear" although I still see many men at work with a crew neck showing underneath their 1MX or dress shirt.

The material is 100% cotton and feels very scruffy after a wash. I don't use fabric softener, although it would definitely help with the comfort. I feel the quality is acceptable as an undershirt. At the price point, I am not expecting a well-made undershirt. If I wanted a comfortable but durable V-Neck undershirt, I'd expect to pay more for a polyester/cotton blend material that will last longer.

Overall: 4/5 stars, I was able to purchase these at a much lower price locally at Target. The quality is acceptable, and expect the shirts to shrink. My advice is to buy one size larger than what you normall wear. I normally wear Medium, and these V-Neck shirts in Medium shrank to a small after 1 wash. I switched to Large, and they shrunk to Medium which fits perfectly in terms of length and sizing. XL would be too large.
