Men's Poly-Cotton Short Sleeve Crew Neck - Heather Black/XL

I have ordered these 50/50 shirts before (they used to be my favorite shirt) and they were American Apparel shirts. The one I ordered recently WAS NOT an American Apparel shirt. The tag says "American Apparel" but the tag looks different than all of my other American Apparel shirts. The company Gilden bought American Apparel after it went under and now they are selling thinner shirts that fit a bit smaller (at least this one did). These shirts are cheaper so maybe it is worth it for you but just know that these are not the same American Apparel 50/50 shirts that were sold for many years from American Apparel.

American Apparel should make all T-shirt’s and the other manufacturer’s should quit. Period! I love everything about these t’s, but my most favorite part is the fit of the collar. It’s not saggy like most T-shirt manufacturers. I’ve never understood why the circumference of the collar on most shirts far exceeds the circumstance of an average human neck. Tshirts just looks trashy when people’s trapezius muscles are visible and exposed because the collar sucks. I wish more T-shirt’s were made like these!

Please be aware that these shirts are certainly NOT made in the U.S. as the Amazon/product description says. In fact, there is no English anywhere on the tag, and the material is much different than the original 50/50 shirts.That being said, you can definitely get a much worse shirt for $12, or whatever I paid for this. I'm really disappointed that I didn't get what the description advertised, but if you want an ok foreign made shirt for not too much, maybe go for it.

This 50/50 BB401 shirt in heather black is my husband's uniform - in that this is all he wears. For reference he's about 5'11", 150 lbs, 38-40 jacket size, and M fits great. The fabric is soft and wears well with minimum shrinkage, if any. The only thing that shows wear is the small pills that eventually form, but that is after quite some time. Having heard American Apparel filed chapter 11 bankruptcy, we wanted to stock up, so decided to buy some on Amazon to see if the shirts are the same. Purchased from the seller 'Nayked Apparel', and we were happy to see it was the same shirt. Will be ordering some more.

I purchased this in the same size as I have in the stores and it fit perfectly. However, when I purchased the low cut v neck the shirt was too small. These shirts are that excellent 50/50 blend, so they feel as if they've been in and out of a gym locker for 50 years....literally perfect feel. Much better than 100%.

I bought my son a couple of American Apparel 50/50 tshirts a little while ago, and now this is the only tshirt he will wear. He loves them. They are super soft and keep their shape very well. The colors are great, and the length of the arms are perfect. My son used to love the Cotton On stuff, but after a couple of washes they lost their shape and the sleeves became too short - almost like a stretched out cap sleeve. This shirt does not do that. We've had some of these for over a year now and he still loves them. These are a great quality t-shirt that hold up over time and keep their softness and shape.

I bought a few of these t-shirts back towards the end of 2017, and I just bought some more. These are the softest shirts I've gotten for a reasonable price. I haven't had any problems with shrinkage, but I wash these on the gentle cycle so maybe that helps. I read some reviews saying that the fabric changed some time ago, but the new shirts are comparable the last ones I bough so no complaints here.

These are my favorite shirts, and I need to buy more while I have the chance! Lightweight material that is flexible. They also don’t shrink much at all. I had a couple that I purchased a few years ago that some of the threads in the seams starting unraveling, but I think that was just a bad run. I haven’t had any other shirts do that since. I wear a large and I am 5’10” 165 lbs., with an athletic build and wide shoulders. The large fits me perfect and doesn’t look like I’m wearing a boys shirt, but also not baggy on me either.

Love the material which washes easily...dries quickly and doesn't lose it's shape. Great for travel or everyday wear

Great quality and fit at an affordable price

Fits well

Im picky. I really like this shirt.
