Hanes Mens Essential-T T-Shirt

These are great t-shirts, but I am a bit disappointed that Hanes has decided to do away with the printed collar tag and bring back the tags that rub against the neck and are quite irritating to the skin, as well as being generally annoying. I was told people complained that the printed tags "wash off"—which take years unless the shirts are washed repeatedly with harsh detergents and dried at high temperatures. I was so pleased when printed collar tags became standard, and I hope they return someday.

I bought these specifically because they were advertised as pre-shrunk. My order arrived yesterday. I washed one in cold water, low dryer, and it shrunk a little more than two inches in length. I guess they'd be great for people you don't mind an occasional accidental flash of tummy. On the positive side, the seams are well-sown and the washed one feels soft. Still, disappointing.
