Review: Got it for my hubs - Got this for my husband looks great on him he’s 6’2 195 perfect for was a large . It’s an oversized fitted style if that makes sense . lol . Great material and he DOES wish it was a bit smaller but it hasn’t shrunk so that’s good in a way. Haha
Review: Runs Large — L Fit Perfect After Wash/Dry - I ordered this shirt in size XL because I usually wear XL in Tommy Bahama and XXL in American Eagle and Kirkland. But the XL was much too big. Since this shirt is a 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend, it only shrinks about 2–3% after washing, so even after washing it would still be too large. I exchanged it for a size L before washing. After washing and drying the L, it became the perfect size. The fabric feels thick and durable, and the overall quality is great.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I keep reading bad reviews. Are these shirts really that bad?**
A: I really like the shirts I have always had good luck with carhartt clothing!! 
If you read on the shirts on the carhartt website it tells which colors are 100% cotton and which colors are a 60/40 blend!!

**Q: How do the tee shirts fit**
A: I’m 6’4” 250lb with some table muscle. I bought 3XLT and they fit me perfectly. I like my shirts a little baggie and long because I wear them tucked in. These don’t come untucked on me.

**Q: What are the lenghts? You say how much longer than reg but it doesn't tell you how long reg is**
A: the tall i got is not any longer than the reg

**Q: what is the length of a 3xlt?**
A: Its pretty long. It'll hind your belly

Large fits like an XL. Thicker than normal T-shirts. They don't shrink, mix of cotton and polyester. Fit well
