Gildan Platinum Mens Crew T-Shirts

I switched jobs recently and was looking for a thin undershirt to make wearing a poly uniform shirt much more comfortable. I spent about two weeks looking through every inexpensive brand of crew style undershirts, including ones from the bigger brands. Even after reading some less than appealing reviews, I settled on Gildan brand, as they came in packs with the best value versus other brands. I had initially settled on the regular cotton crew, but those suddenly went out of stock. I did another search, then found the Platinum cotton crew T-shirts. It took a few days and they came packed in a sealed package, all 5 shirts. I tried on 3/5 on the first day and I've just recently tried on the 4th shirt and the size is accurate in each one. I always wash my clothes in cold, and I hang dry and the shirts held up well with no shrinkage like some had reported. They fit just as soft, just as roomy as when I first unpacked them. I'm a 5'6, well curved female and I typically will buy men's 2Xl shirts for roominess and comfort. Depending on the make or brand they'll either fit to form, or fit loose. These in my opinion fit as a 2XL in men's should on a woman my size; loose, but not baggy and comfortable as well as very breathable. I've only had one issue with these shirts, and it was only on one. The underarm came slightly unraveled in maybe a 3 inch section. It was easy to fix and no other threads came undone. Personally, for shirts as inexpensive as these, needing to sew a 3 inch section of ONE sleeve isn't at all a problem. Besides that one issue, I've been putting these through a lot of work, heavy lifting, and leaning up against sharp things (as well as holding a wriggly cat) and no other rips or loose threads have popped up. So, long review short- I would definitely recommend these and may also buy them again. They fit great, they feel great, and at the end of a long work day, they're very comfortable and help to keep me cool. Also, on top of being AMAZING undershirts, these are fantastic for lounging around the house.

I have never been a huge fan of Gildan tee shirts given the ones I have seen for sale in Ottawa where I live seem to be of a lower quality and price. However, I was pleasantly surprised when this package of tee shirts arrived. The fit is perfect. However, I say that with the caveat that I am waiting to see if they will still fit properly after a few warm washes. The other thing that impressed me was the soft, almost "polished" feel of the cotton. This suggests a garment of a higher quality than the normal run of tee shirt. The stitching along the shoulder line on each side of the shirt as well as around the neck is very nicely done. This also suggests a higher quality garment as well as assuring a really nice finish. I might add that the cotton is neither too light, nor too heavy, so I'd guess they could be worn comfortably either as an undershirt or just by themselves. I have always had a problem with sagging necks on tee shirts as they age. I prefer a tighter fit around the neck and only my higher priced tees seem to be able to meet this desired fitment over time. Whether or not these Gildans will do so remains to be seen. For now, they exhibit no sag, but again, the proof will be after a few warm washes. For the price, these "Platinum" Gildan shirts seem to be a pretty good buy.

Gildan Platinum Men's 6-Pack Crew Neck T-Shirt, White, Medium The product was as expected in terms of sizing. I am on the small side of average height at 5'7" and about 149 lb, the garment fits well - it's not too tight under the arms, and is a good length. The finish is of a high standard, and it comes well packaged. My two points of contention would be: 1. The fabric is far thinner than the Gildan cotton tees I purchased about a decade ago. Those are still going strong after hundreds of washes and season upon season of wear. I can bet that this lot won't last that long - a few nicks will soon turn into holes. 2. The neck is either a little small, or it is positioned fairly high up. The top of the collar sits above my collarbone, most of my other tees sit at about half an inch below it. Besides that, it's far more economical than anything I could ever purchase in Australia, even after factoring in currency exchange rates and international shipping.

After 4 years. Of constant daily wear. These T shirts have felled their shape. Have not faded. And look as good as new. And I can mildly recommend them. Is there well worth the money?

Soft, but for me, the sizing is the most important part. These shirts are perfect for me. I have reached that middle age point where my middle has expanded. I usually wear a large but they always shrink on first wash and make me feel like I am trying to shrink wrap my gut. Then I try large and the length is long enough to pass for a mini skirt. In an xl these shirts are perfect. When they first come in the mail, they are a little long, but after first wash they shrink about 3" in length. They are still long enough to tuck in. The shoulder seams fall just where they should. Perfect fit. 5'10" male, 190 lbs, working class build, some gut but broad in chest and shoulders. I highly recommend!

Love my T shirts. I got the black color looks really good, but only thing is when you wash it do not put it in the dryer they will shrink on you. Also make sure you wash in cold water only. I got large and it fit well not too tight, but if you want it a little loser get extra large.. I know because I got both sizes. You can't beat the price. The reason I got both sizes is because the large is when you're wearing a nice dress shirts like you're going to church and the extra large is just loose fit feel. Just my opinion enjoy your shopping.

Have been looking for something to replace the Hanes white t-shirts I bought for years. Recent purchases haven't been up to par (baggy necks being the main issue). These Gildan shirts are definitely a step up, both in fabric quality (soft & comfy, light-weight but not see-through) and in tailoring. Washed them in hot water, dried them on high: some shrinkage, but still fit just fine (I'm 5'11"/165 and wear a large). My definite go-to white t-shirt from here on out.

Pros are 100% cotton keeps you cooler and has a 'wicking' effect. T-Shirts are sized correctly and measure about 1"-2" longer than others so they stay tucked in better. Lighter weight so more breathable feeling. Cons are somewhat thin material. Must remove them immediately from the dryer (as the washing instructions clearly state) otherwise they come out quite wrinkled..... Bottom line is (IMHO) these are a bit too thin material to wear as a primary T-Shirt with blue jeans etc.. However as an 'undershirt' these are great (meaning you wear a shirt over them). Seem to last a good length of time, and priced very competitively.

I bought these shirts for work and they are good. They don't shrink very much when washed for the first time and have a nice fit to them.

Great fabric, soft & comfortable but neckline needs some reinforcement to retain the crewneck profile/contour/shape

Suficientes piezas a un buen precio. Son suaves y cómodas. Mantienen bien su forma y la tela se ve y siente de buena calidad.

I bought them for use as undershirts at work. They are great for this purpose and also good for weekend wear.

Mi esposo las ha utilizado ya por un buen tiempo y le han agradado mucho. No han perdido forma ni color y no son delicadas para su cuidado. Lo que le gustó: - Tienen un largo adecuado, se fajan bien y no se zafan - No son ni gruesas ni delgadas por lo que son perfectas para cualquier tipo de ropa. - Tienen buenos acabados en las costuras. Deben considerar que no son justas, no se pegan al cuerpo, esto ya es gusto personal y a mi esposo le agradan así. Le gustaron mucho y cuando sea necesario definitivamente volverá a comprarlas.
