Possibly the best crew neck T I've owned. Love the fit. Its comfortable, and the collar doesn't loosen after a day of working in it. There is a WORLD of difference between these and the standard Gildan/Hanes tees available at Walmart or similar stores. I'll never go back to a traditional tee after owning these heavyweight ones. It's also much better than the Pro Club brand, which was highly recommended by a couple guys I work with. I actually wear these out daily while getting groceries or doing other things because I like them so much.
-desert sand does not look like pic color, it looks like the darker beige/kahki color instead. -charcoal is a bit darker/blacker than shown in pic. -red is what a red crayon looks like, slightly darker than pic. -heather gray is pretty much as pic shows. all fit as expected (x-lage tall) and quality is good and geniune dickies (bought and sold by A ones at least). these are pretty much the only T-shirts my husband wear 95% of the time and they hold up well for about a year or so when regularly worn and washed once a week. they do shrinks a tad bit at first but, i wash them in hot water and dry them on high heat so could be why.
The Dickies Men's Short Sleeve Heavyweight Crew Nick t-shirts are great! We ordered in 6 different colors. I know this might sound crazy but husband and I have been searching for the past 3+ years for t-shirts that would meet the following basic criteria: 1. Heavy Weight Cotton 2. Will survive going through the washer more than a dozen times. 3. Minimal shrinkage after washing/drying 4. Not See-Through -- no secondary shirt needed 5. Little to no graphics 6. Tag-less The Dickies t-shirts exceeded our expectations. The t-shirts are the thickness of the cotton that used to be the norm in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. Most t-shirt companies have made the cotton thinner, and thinner and thinner. To the point the men might start wearing man bra's. The Dickies t-shirts do not have obnoxious graphics added (which is also hard to find). The front pock contains a small Dickies logo. Another positive, the inside back neck is "tag-less". We like these t-shirts so much, that I'm tempted to order another dozen or two for upcoming years.
I bought these in a 2X and a 2X tall to see which would fit best. I am going to stick with the 2X tall. I am 5 foot 10 230 pounds. These are made with heavy material and they help conceal my fire arm when it’s on my hip. In fact these are the only T-shirts I will buy from here on out. I have bought one in every color both in a short sleeve and long sleeve. What you need to know about the two. The longsleeve ones tend to be a little longer at the hip and the sleeves hang a little long (remember I order tall) it take a little time to shrink up to the proper length. The non tall long sleeve was a little short on me after washing several times.
I've been buying these shirts for over 10 years. Work great for use as winter undershirt or summer casual. I wash in warm / regular cycle and warm / regular dry. I buy one size larger than needed because of shrinkage (3xlt shrinks to 2xlt). 18.5" neck ... 51" chest ... 6'4" ... 240 Lbs. Pros: (7 shirts rotated on daily basis) * Heavyweight = 6.75 oz. 100% cotton * 2 Yrs. ... Beginning signs of stretching / fraying / color fading * 3 Yrs. ... Time to replace Cons: I really can't think of any. I hope this review helps:)
The Dickie's Men's short sleeve shirts are perfect for my husband! Here is a picture of him in the Orange color, which is great for his job. The shirts are heavy weight material and they hold up nicely for a long time. He is 6'2" and about 195 lbs. He wares size Large. They shrink just a touch on high heat in the dryer and then it's a perfect fit.
If you are big AND tall, make sure Amazon sends you the correct shirt. I've ordered several of these Dickies shirts, and about every other order, Amazon sends me 1 or more of the wrong size. The most common mistake is they send me a "3XL" instead of the "3XLT" I ordered. If it doesn't have the "T", it isn't a tall shirt! Check every shirt you order. I've had orders where some were correct and others were wrong. I've even had two shirts of the same color in the same order where 1 will be a tall and other other won't. Amazon customer service tells me they are sending in requests for the warehouse to check stock, but I still get the wrong shirts. The difference between tall and regular is 2-3" and for me makes the difference between being able to tuck the shirt in or not. Overall, I'd give the shirts 4.75 stars. They seem to be very well constructed. Based on how thin some other shirts I’ve bought are, these could easily be considered heavy fabric. The actual thickness of the fabric varies a bit between different colors. I am both big and tall, so it is unheard for me to find good T's for $8-12/ea. There is a paper label around waist high which you will want to cut off, it rustles. The label on the back of the neck is printed on the shirt, so nothing to rustle or scratch there. Content: Of the shirts I have, content varies by color. 100% cotton - Chocolate, Dark Navy, Dark Olive, English Red, Heather Green, Lincoln Green, Orange, Royal Blue. 99% cotton, 1% polyester - Ash Grey 90% cotton, 10% polyester - Heather Grey Made in: Nicaragua and Mexico. There is a slight variation in the cuts of the different colored shirts. Some are a little roomier than others. The label recommends washing in cold. I HIGHLY recommend washing in cold. The shirts tend to shrink a little the first couple times they are washed. I always wash mine in cold and hang them up to dry, but still had that little bit of shrinkage. The most comfortable: Dark Navy and Black Olive. They started out very roomy and even after a bit of shrinkage are still quite comfortable. Chocolate and Lincoln Green just barely still fit. Desert Sand started out ok, but after two washings it had shrunk enough that it is a little small. I find I'm yanking on it to stretch it. Don't take the Amazon listing picture colors too seriously. I've included a pic of the actual shirts. Chocolate and Dark Olive appear lighter in my photo than they do in person.
I'm a big guy (6'3", 320lbs, with huge shoulders), and have trouble getting T-Shirts that fit decently. Up until now. I have now replaced all of my T's with these Dickie's brand T's and couldn't be happier with them. I fall somewhere between a XXL and a XXXL depending on the brand. Often the XXL fit great until the first time they go through the dryer, and then they are a little bit snug. the XXXL are too big on me, but shrink and fit okay, except the arms are too long and go to my elbows. I took a chance and ordered XXXL Dickie's thinking that if they were too big, I could shrink them a bit like all of the others, but it turns out that there was no need as these fit great right out of the package. I have no been wearing them daily all summer, and they still look great and are holding up just as well.
Not enough people put their body dimensions on here to make sizing an unseen/unknown shirt easy. I'm a guy - so I don't care if you know my specs - here they are: 6' 5" tall 310 lbs 23" technical torso measurement (back of neck to waist line) 21" armpit to waist line 54" chest 18" pythons (biceps for you skinny hipsters) Usually I buy shirts in 2 XL, 2 XLT, or 3X. Normally I buy shirts with the "tall" designation since my gut sticking out typically makes a "non-tall" shirt rise just to the point of showing skin when I lean back or reach up with my arm(s). No one wants to see that - unless that is your "thing" I went with the 2XLT version of this as a baseline. Results: 100% cotton shrinks even if it "preshrunk." Pre-shrunk does not shrink as much, but there is a noticeable shrink none the less. New from package w/ no wash - length was fine - fit was snug, but not too much to show off the moobs or gut too badly. First wash - length still fine - fit was too tight - moobs and gut sticking out like an over packed sausage - not flattering. -You can pull the shirts to stretch it out to be less form fitting, but I don't want to mess with that after every wash. Returned both 2 XLT's and went with a 3X regular length. 3X reg length is good enough (unless reaching with arms up as far as I can) - fit is quite loose on the moobs and gut (read comfortable and flattering), but not to tent proportions. Shirt really is heavyweight and I love it. Can't see through it and looks like it will last a while, just like most Dickies items do! Pocket is a touch too tight/small for my Galaxy S5 with case since they seamed in a dedicated pen/pencil pouch inside the total front pocket dimensions. As is, it is good enough to hold a couple pens or something along the size of a deck of cards. Ask your grandma, mother, or wife for a seam ripper to remove the Dickies tag on the front pocket. If they are good with the stitch, ask them to rip out the dedicated pen/pencil pouch and the pocket becomes big enough for a smart phone. I used to buy Fruit of the Loom Men's Short Sleeved Pocket T-Shirt from both the Normal and Best collections since they used to be available locally in a "mart" store. That Wal place doesn't carry the front pocket shirt in my sizes anymore so I found them here on Amazon. FotL changed their material/construction practices with this shirt recently and they are bad quality, even at $5-$8 a pop. They lasted me about 6 months of 1-2x/week use and one weekly washing before fabric was worn thin and piling badly. They are now dedicated "I don't care what happens to them work shirts" I am a fan of Dickies items and I would say that these shirts display overall good quality and with some modifications done at home I would highly recommend them.
I have four of these T-shirts. I'm 6'6" and around 350 pounds. The XXX-Large/Tall fits me quite nicely, in fact there's a little room to spare. It's not at all tight. Unlike most T-shirts (and regular shirts, for that matter) I find it has a good length that's appropriate for my challenging verticality. The fabric is also not skimpy. I really love the pocket. It's lets me carry my cell phone or a pen or a carpenter's pencil or the like while I'm working. I would suggest that if carrying a cell phone that you do move it to a pants pocket if you have to bend over. I have mine in an OtterBox but the pocket is not a tight fit for the phone. I am always concerned that the phone will take a dive if I bend over too far. All in all, a good shirt. It's comfortable. It fits. It has a pocket. It seems durable.

The BEST work undershirt and daily use tee you'll find.
Possibly the best crew neck T I've owned. Love the fit. Its comfortable, and the collar doesn't loosen after a day of working in it.

great dickies shirts, last threw lots of washings but do fade some after a bit (red & navy mostly).
-desert sand does not look like pic color, it looks like the darker beige/kahki color instead. -charcoal is a bit darker/blacker than shown in pic. -red is what a red crayon looks like, slightly darker than pic. -heather gray is pretty much as pic shows. all fit as expected (x-lage tall) and quality is good and geniune dickies (bought and sold by A ones at least). these are pretty much the only T-shirts my husband wear 95% of the time and they hold up well for about a year or so when regularly worn and washed once a week. they do shrinks a tad bit at first but, i wash them in hot water and dry them on high heat so could be why.

A very comfortable T-shirt
I have four of these T-shirts. I'm 6'6" and around 350 pounds. The XXX-Large/Tall fits me quite nicely, in fact there's a little room to spare. It's not at all tight.
