New default shirt
Fit Type: Regular Fit, Color: Navy/Navy, Size: Small
Amazon has again proved that it did good research about what makes a good basic garment. I've been wearing these for a few weeks now and honestly I forgot about them because they just fit and are not annoying and don't look bad. They are good. Also the cotton seems high quality and is soft. Also the small fit as expected.

Durable, Comfortable, and a Great Everyday Basic
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy, Pocket Description: Plain Front
The Amazon Essentials Men’s Relaxed-Fit Heavyweight Cotton T-Shirt is exactly what a good basic tee should be—comfortable, well-made, and built to last. The heavyweight cotton feels substantial without being stiff, and it holds its shape nicely after multiple washes.
The relaxed fit gives plenty of room for movement without looking sloppy, and the fabric has just the right amount of structure for a polished casual look. It works equally well for layering under flannels or wearing on its own.
Pros:
• Thick, high-quality cotton that feels durable
• Relaxed fit for comfort and ease of movement
• Retains shape and color after washing
• Versatile for casual wear or layering
Cons:
• Slightly longer length may not suit shorter torsos
• Limited stretch since it’s 100% cotton
Bottom line: A sturdy, well-fitting T-shirt that’s perfect for everyday wear. Great quality for the price and likely to become a wardrobe staple.

Good quality T-shirt at a very reasonable price
Size: Large, Color: Dusty Blue, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Good quality T-shirt at a very reasonable price. The material feels thick and durable, giving it a premium feel. Fits well for a size L (5’10”, 178 lbs). The only downside is the sleeve length—they run a bit long and sit just above the elbow, so they don’t really highlight the biceps.
