Overall, the fiber and texture of these shirts is fine. The neck openings however are gaping. The mock should fit up to the neck and not flop out widely. It is as if they were designed for very, very fat necks.
I've been buying these for 15-20 years, and these mock-turtleneck shirts wear fine, for at least a year or so, holding their form, especially around the neck. This year, after only one washing, the collar is already loose, which is quite disappointing! I wish I could return it.
