Contrary to the advertising and some customer reviews, this item does fade significantly after only a few washes. Frankly, I was disappointed with the product.
You just know that the size, fit and appearance will be right. The shirt is well-constructed, and the color is even and likely to hold up for a long time.
I purchased this shirt for my husband. He found it very comfortable and convenient. The fabric is soft and not too bulky with good stretch. It seems to hold its shape. The black shirt washed well in cold water. The only thing I didn't like about it was an aspect of the styling. The arms seem very big, with lots of fabric in the upper arm - it might not be so comfortable under a sweater.
