I've bought Hanes T-shirts/ undershirts for many years. They are cool and very comfortable to wear. If you wash your whites in hot water, then buy a size larger, because the cotton does shrink, but it can be stretch out if needed. Bought several packages in all sizes for myself as well as my two son's .

Today there are no Hanes products made in the USA. Hanes factories are located in El Salvador, Thailand, and Vietnam. Hanes is still headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and has many distributions centers in North Carolina as well.

Now our soft cotton-blend men's t-shirt is better than ever before. It's an EcoSmart® shirt! That means it's made with up to 5% polyester created from recycled plastic bottles.

Step up to the hefty quality of a classic heavyweight tee. Like everything we make here at Hanes, the iconic Beefy-T® t-shirt improves upon a basic. It's made to last, knit from heavyweight 6-oz. ringspun cotton with double-needle stitching and a high-density stitch count. (Some colors are a cotton/polyester blend.)

AUTHENTIC TEE STYLE Details like a lay-flat collar and shoulder-to-shoulder taping are standard in a men's t-shirt designed to last. Crafted from sturdy cotton or a cotton blend (depending on the color), it's made for layering but works just as well atop your favorite joggers, shorts, or jeans.

cotton QUALITY FABRIC - Crafted from cotton or a cotton blend (heathered styles are a cotton/polyester blend). DESIGN DETAILS - Features a lay-flat collar that keeps its shape.

HANES ESSENTIALS - Outstanding quality and value you have come to expect from Hanes. MIDWEIGHT COTTON - Cotton midweight fabric makes this a shirt you can wear all year long. (Certain colors are a cotton/polyester blend.)

Comfort Colors Fit That means slightly oversized, especially compared to fashion fit/slim fit T-shirts. They offer some "semi-fitted” items (mostly in the ladies' styles) and some "classic fit" items, which are even roomier than "relaxed fit." Check the product description for each garment.

Front print that changes color when exposed to heat.

Heavyweight t-shirts are typically made with thicker, more robust fabric, which makes them more durable and long-lasting. They can withstand frequent washing and wear without quickly wearing out or developing holes.

Overall, Hanes has a slightly higher quality and price point, while Gildan has better availability of colors and sizes. If quality and name brand are important, choose Hanes. If you're more concerned with your budget, choose Gildan.

Of the most common fabric types used in t-shirts, polyester is generally the most durable. 100% cotton, cotton/polyester blends, and cotton/polyester/rayon blends are also good choices for this resilient wardrobe staple.

Pima Pima, Supima The highest-quality cotton. Pima is the generic form of extra-long-fiber cotton grown in the United States, Australia, and South America. Supima is the trademarked name for 100% American-grown Pima cotton. Both resist pilling, fading, and stretching and get softer with wear.

Fabric Weight Heavier shirts (in the 5.5oz - 6.1oz range) are more durable and warmer - if that's what you're going for in a t-shirt. Some people would just as soon have a shirt that keeps them cool, and not everyone cares that their shirts be as resistant to snags or tears.

A quality fabric will feel firm and soft. A low-quality fabric will feel plastic-like. The transparency of the fabric will reveal density. A high-quality t-shirt will not be transparent.
