Hanes Men's Beefy Long Sleeve Shirt, 1 or 2 Pack

Update: Jan2025: Frosty weather is washing over my normally toasty Southern state so I've been layering and sleeping in my Beefy T. I decided to order a few more so returned here to order and was astounded to see the shirt I'm wearing now was ordered 10 years ago! No, it's not worn every day, but still, it's endured many washings in various water temperatures. It has shrunk a tad though not severely. The thickness is still adequate, though I wish it was a tad heavier. I'd given it 4 stars before for it's only moderate thickness but think it merits that fifth star now. Recommended for layering, though I have worn it alone on occasion.ORIGINAL REVIEW: I saw these Beefy-T's mentioned, of all places, in a Consumer Reports review of sun screens. The report mentioned specialized clothing that comes impregnated with substances that inhibit UVA and UVB rays from reaching the skin and said while they seem effective that these Hanes T's also had impressive results though not designed for that purpose. Living in the sun-intense Southern U.S., that's something that concerns me and I tend to wear long sleeve shirts by preference anyway. I wanted something that could be worn casually with jeans without looking cheap and that would be durable without being too heavy in the heat. My first reaction, on opening the package was that they seemed less "beefy" then I'd expected and only modestly thicker than conventional material. My second concern is that while they fit well, though slightly less generous then I expected, that after several washings they might actually be a bit snug. Well, after several washings, shrinkage hasn't seemed a factor, though I do wash clothes in cold water and dry them at medium heat. Fit and finish are both good. For comparison sake, I ordered a similar T from LL Bean, a company with a reputation for rugged and durable clothing. That T was slightly heavier, slightly more generous in it's cut, and the stitching and finish were superior. But the cost was well over twice as much, making me realize what a great value these Hanes are especially at what seems to be their on sale price price for a two pack. Can I recommend them? I'll have to see how they hold up after repeated use and washings, but so far I think they make a great value for the price and can highly recommend them for value, comfort, quality and according to Consumer Reports, even great protection from the sun's damaging rays!

Good quality shirts. True to size and color. Can be used for everyday layering or as a night shirt for sleeping. I use it for both and seems to be holding up so far. Time will telll but so far good.

A simple long sleeve shirt that is comfortable and of good quality. It was what I was looking for in a workout and daily activity shirt that fits my needs. I did buy a large (normally wear medium) because of the concern it might shrink after washing and I think that was a good decision as it did do so a little after washing. Priced right so a good buy.

I.Love.This. Shirt. Nice and thick and made from soft cotton. I am a small-ish lady with a big chest, and female shirts are so hard to fit. So I sometimes get men's shirts, but they shrink. These beefy fit gives me enough chest room, even after washing with a small amount of shrinkage. So soft and comfy. Well definitely buy more

Great quality and value. Soft and strong. Got the black, white, and the light steel colorways. You can tear the tags off! No scratch. The 2pks come in sealed plastic bags. Nice and clean. No warehouse grime. Throw in the wash and wear. Thanks!

Nice and thick. Very comfortable, but runs a little large. I should have ordered a large (I'm 6-1 200 pounds) but I assume it will shrink after wash and dry.

Cannot beat these long sleeve tees for the price. Soft, washes well, looks great. Just ordered more in different color. True to size.

Warm & comfy, a touch expensive but the shirt itself is decent quality.
