A review for the ladies...
I’m a female, but I bought these men’s shirts because I’ve tried pretty much every women’s t-shirt on Amazon and haven’t found one that is not overly thin and sheer, or which doesn’t have a ridiculous rounded hemline. I just want a plain tee with a straight hem that isn’t see-through. These men’s shirts are great quality and fit the bill exactly. I’m 5’4”, 175 and wearing a size large in the men’s navy essentials tee. The sleeves are too long for me, and the shirt is too big, but a medium might work if I can hem the sleeves. For comparison, I included a pic of the men’s large navy tee under the amazon essentials women’s crew tee in an XL. The women’s version is a better fit, but still slightly more sheer than I’d prefer.

Way too short
These are wayyyyyy too short! Costco’s 6 pack tees are a much better value and much better quality. I love the convenience of Amazon; but, I would think that the buyers of the Amazon essentials would make sure the quality was comparable to other competitors..

My new favorite t-shirt
These Amazon Essentials t-shirts are awesome! They are very simple, just black cotton shirts. They're soft, wash up nicely (no fading or shrinking), and are exactly what I wanted.I bought these to wear under flannel shirts. They come in three fits, slim, regular, and relaxed. Mine are regular. They're a little loose, but that's the way I like them. However, they're not too loose to fit under my shirts smoothly.The price is amazing! I thought they would be like men's undershirts, thin with little bitty sleeves. I had to try them anyway! I was pleasantly surprised when I got them because the fabric is thick and the proportions are right for a plain t-shirt that you would be able to wear alone. I would be pleased to pay the price these cost for one shirt but they sell them as a 2 pack! These are not flimsy, crappy shirts. They're good quality and nice looking.I already bought a second 2 pack. I'm very happy with them.They are thankfully free from logos and do not have a tag. The size and care info is screen printed on the inside of the neck.The one things that was almost a deal breaker is that they have a pocket on the chest. It looks out of style and doesn't go with the complete simplicity of the shirt. Their saving grace is that the pockets lay very flat and blend in well.I really like the Amazon Essentials brand! I always dresses in plain, simple clothes and that's just what the whole line of casual clothes is. They're good quality and have outstanding prices.Also, have a look at the Amazon flannel shirts I like these with. They come in lots of colors and patterns and are super soft. They're even under $20!

Nice Alternative
For a couple of decades I bought all my pocket tees from Land's End. But over the past decade as their quality has gone down and down again, with flimsier material not nearly as durable as in days of old, it became time to look around. While Duluth Trading provided a fine replacement, their tee shirts are almost too heavy, especially when it comes to summer here in the desert.These shirts solved the problem. They fit fine and the cotton material is comfy without being too heavy. These breathe much easier in the warm temps. Best of all, the two pack is cheaper than buying just a single tee at Land's End. Their shirts used to last a couple of years before wearing out but nowadays you are lucky if they last a year. Will be interested to see how these hold up...at this price, it's not much of a gamble.

It's fine
At 27 inches long it's not quite as long as I hoped. The material is also a bit thin.Edit, after a month I'm down grading my review. The material does not feel good anymore and the length bothers me more and more. It feels like I'm flashing my butt to everyone whenever I bend over even a little bit and I'm not that tall of a person.

It's a mixed bag
First the good news...they're inexpensive. You get a 2-fer for $12.00. They're not the highest quality but you should expect that for the price.The downside is that I actually got two different sizes in this 2-fer bag. Oh they both were marked the size that I ordered however, I only tried on one of them before I washed them both and the second shirt was at least 2-sizes smaller than the other. I did wash them as directed on the tag (Machine wash cold, Tumble dry low). So either one was size mis-marked or the laundry gremlins got tired of stealing single socks and swapped shirts instead.

Maybe good for boys.
I thought someone was playing a joke on me. The shirts come up just below my navel and I am an average 5-10 male. (Got the 2XL) Also the pocket is hilariously small. Also there are seams that come up the sides of the torso which leave marks if you lay on your side.On the plus side the material was thin and soft and would have been great for summer and sleeping if not for the above problems.Maybe I got the Asian version? These would fit untucked if you are maybe 5-8 or under.TO SUM UP: FOR THE PRICE, THESE WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU ADD 4 INCHES TO THE TORSO LENGTH AND ADDED BIGGER SIZES (3XL)

Love these shirts
I bought these more out of curiosity than anything else -- I had to see what the amazon brand would be like when it came to clothing. I have to say -- I was very pleasantly surprised. Like... they really nailed it with these. They fit like a classic j-crew tee (think early 2000s). For those that don't know the reference (i.e. probably every single person reading this lol), they're a bit on the short side, but without being tight. Meaning, they fit the shoulder properly, have a good drape to the chest, hang over the waist loosely, but don't go far past the belt. It's a really classic dad-at-a-baseball-game kind of fit.They get a nice, equally j-crew-esque, crinkle to the pocket when they're washed -- it gives them a really clean version of the popular broken-in look and feel. Granted, these are not the ultra-nice, wear with a blazer to dinner (also, don't do that ever), kind of tee, but a perfect casual shirt.I got them in pink -- the color is A+. Very pastel and subtle. And they're tagless, which is always a win for me.

More than a little disappointed
The first problem is that when placing your order you are unable to order the actual XXL size because the order box states XL-XXL . yet the size guide clearly shows a different size for XL and XXL. I received size XL which was just about acceptable, however after being gently washed by hand (definitely) not in a washing machine, it had both shrunk by approximately 1" in width and also lost some of the dye, so never wash them with other items. I was rather disappointed because the material has a nice feel to it and the pocket which was my main reason for ordering is perfect for holding my spectacles. I cannot understand Amazon's thinking or lack of, about the ordering process so unfortunately I will not be ordering any more of this item, unless they read my review and rectify the problems.

Cheap, soft and good colours
The fit was a little confusing as they advertise s,m,l etc, but ordering gave sizes e.g 32-34, 34-36 etc. I ordered them as bed t-shirts, I am a size 10-12 lady and ordered 34-36, they are big and baggy, but that's what I wanted. I would say this is the medium. They are comfy and well made, they wash well. Bargain for the price.

I ordered a t-shirt, not a dress!
I ordered Large as it is my usual size, but got a t-shirt that went all the way down to the middle of my thighs. Their large is way too big, probably your usual 3XL.I didn't want to go to the post office in the middle of the pandemic just to return this, so I tried to get in touch with the seller to sort something out. But even that is impossible! Not impressed.

Comforatable.
These are very comfortable T-shirts that are somewhat loose fitting. Made of mostly cotton, they are soft. Now that I see the exact colour of the orangey one, I would call it a very attractive and appealing Burnt Orange. Light Heather is just a light grey. I already have some more in other shades on order.

Not what I expected
Fabric is good, but I did not want the front pocket and the t-shirt feels way more like a M than a XS. Wasted my money, thanks, I hate it.
