CarharttMen's Loose Fit Heavyweight Short-Sleeve Pocket T-Shirt

The sizes are unlike any other manufacturer I've purchased from. These shirts don't just run large, mine seemed to be SEVERAL sizes larger than what was indicated on the label. Despite being "regular fit" this thing fits like a tarp, and the length goes all the way past my knees, it's ridiculous. This shirt is so oversized it's laughably bad. Not only does it look terrible, but it would be impossible/dangerous to work in because the loose, draping fabric is just begging to get caught on anything and everything. I've loved Carhartt stuff for years, but something is has gone seriously wrong with their design and manufacturing. I won't buy this brand ever again.

This is the best shirt out of several brands of work shirts I have tried. I tried stocking up on Duluth Trading Long-Tail t-shirts because they had extra room called a 'tradesman fit' that's the opposite of a slim-fit shirt, that and they are a few inches longer on the bottom to prevent plumber's crack. The problem I ran into, price. Duluth Trading stuff is really nice, I mean REALLY NICE, but it's too expensive. From underwear to shirts to pants, I love their stuff to death but I went broke just buying 2-3 days worth of clothing.So began my search for alternatives. For a few days I wrapped my mind around all normal shirts being too short for me. One, I do not like plumbers crack and I bend down and kneel down a lot. Two, I conceal carry. Long shirts do 80-90% of the concealment for you if you have one, otherwise you have to dig a holster inside your pants and dig into your hip hard. Extra-tall sized shirts is a cheap alternative to the semi-custom size of the Duluth Longtail t-shirts. Next criteria I needed, price. Well pretty much everything is cheaper than Duluth, except maybe UnderArmour. But UnderArmour stuff is generally tight-fitting, so they lose that competition. These are shirts I bought in Tall size to supplement my existing longer Longtail t-shirts:Fruit-of-the-Loom (FOTL) cotton t-shirt from Wal-Mart: Average fit around my body, feels like advertized size. Thin material. Cost $8 in Wal-Mart, cheap but it's not a quality shirt at all and doesn't compete with the rest. It's just a grade lower. It's a cheap shirt but I would still gladly wear this if I didn't have my other work-shirts.Hane's Beefy-T's 6.10z t-shirt: Cheap, less than half price of Duluth. Material is too thin for me for a work-shirt. Yes, even in summer I like thick material as it wicks more sweat away. The material was too thin for a work shirt, same thickness as the FOTL shirt. Slightly trim fitting, after break-in they are what I consider 'normal' for their advertised size, slightly more trim than the FOTL. $10 with Prime.Dickie's Big-tall heavyweight crew neck short-sleeve: thicker than the Beefy-T, but just barely. Same price as Beefy-T. Very trim fitting for advertised size, I would consider these as a 'trim fit' for very lean individuals to be comfortable in. Even if I was in the same shape as I was at 21, these would still be tight fitting.Duluth Long-Tail t-shirt (did not order as tall, ordered at normal height): Thick material, comfortable in summer by wicking moisture better and comfortable in winter since it's thicker. Two or three inches taller than other standard-sized shirts which spoiled me and now I order tall shirts from all other companies. I consider them nearly perfect shirts year-round but the price, I only have 3 because after shipping they run over $20 a piece from Duluth, and no Duluth does not have Amazon Prime shipping. Nice, very nice, but expensive to build a wardrobe with.Carhartt Big-Tall Work Wear Short-Sleeve t-shirt: Material is as thick as Duluth shirt. I ordered this in tall, and is 1 inch longer than the standard-length Longtail-T from Duluth as a result. Not quite as generous fitting as the Duluth shirt, but it's a good bit larger girth than the other brand shirts. Material is slightly rougher feeling than the Duluth but still comfortable even when bending non-stop. Costs $15 with Amazon Prime, 50% more than the Hane's and Dickie's but at least $5 cheaper than a Duluth shirt.My summary is the Carhartt wins overall. Thick enough, long enough, and I tested mine in 100 degree heat recently. Like the Duluth shirt, the thicker material worked to help wick sweat away longer than thinner shirts will. But I live in a very humid area a few miles from the Mississippi river. Very humid Mid-Spring to Fall. Lots of people might not need to fight humidity this much. I can stock 4 Carhartt shirts for a buck or two cheaper than 3 Duluth shirts, and anyone who works outside often knows you can often go through two shirts or maybe even three on a hot work-day in order to keep dry. So that means I can stock up on 12 shirts instead of 9 going Carhartt to carry me through a whole week without running out of shirts, even when a certain family member (you know who you are in each family) hides them in a clothes pile somewhere for a few days. The savings is enough to make a big difference for anyone buying a few shirts.

TERRIBLE QUALITY SIZING CONTROL I have purchased these numerous times I re-READ the TAGLESS TAG in the shirt SHOCKER it's clearly Stamped 3 X LARGE TALL. it was 7" longer & at least 6" inches WIDER than the old ones I have made in GUATEMALA (these were also stamped exactly the same & made in Guatemala if you happen to weigh 300-500 pounds and are 6' 8"+ these will probably Fit YOU.SIDENOTE=I am 6' 4" 260# 58"chest & my regular size is 3XLT in this Carhartt workwear Pocket T.the shirt is a nice heavy weight so I am hoping if I order 2XL they will fit like the 3XLT used to Thank Goodness for PRIME & Free Returns

Not consistent quality.Carhartt shirts marked as "Made in Honduras" have a great fit for a shirt....generous give in the body, thicker material, appropriate size neck.Shirts marked as "Made in Guatemala" are of thin material, an extremely over size neck (note my picture shows a size 3XL neck is smaller than a 2XL).I bought these shirts because my first batch came from Honduras and fit perfectly but my second order is terrible.I dont need that much neck room and certainly dont want a t-shirt with a scoop neck showing my chest.

For starters I did read the reviews from other people and knew about the sizing issues. So, I bought my normal size (4XL) and 1 size down (3XLT) based on reviews stating the shirts ran a size to big. Which is kinda true, it depends on the color, size and where the shirt was made. I ordered 2 colors in 2 different sizes. 3 of the 4 shirts were made in different countries. Which threw the sizing off a little. The 2 charcoal color shirts are 60% cotton and 40% polyester. Both the 4XL and 3XLT fit similar just with the tall size being a little longer obviously. Then I also go 2 Navy color shirts which are 100% cotton. The 4XL fit me perfectly, but the 3XLT was a little to snug for my liking. All in all I am keeping 3 of the 4, because they do fit well and they do feel well made. Like other reviewers I wish the kept the manufacturing of Carhartt products in USA to keep to the same sizing across the board, but thats not my call. In the end if you want good quality work wear for a decent price I would choose Carhartt hands down and will keep buying the brand. Just if you are a bigger guy and not sure what size order a couple different sizes try them on then the ones that don't fit return them to Amazon, its free! I hope this review helps!

As with many carhartt is a tradition in my family. That tradition has come to an end. Instead of burning my carhartt I'll be offering to those in need.

I realize there are so many reviews on this product this probably won’t get looked at much but...These are my absolute favorite shirts of all time. I’m 6’4”, 225lbs and it’s so incredibly difficult to find a shirt that fits a tall man. Regular T-shirts run way way too short, they aren’t meant for us. The XLT fits me great in the summer and the 2XLT fits me in the winter after I’ve put on a few lbs after thanksgiving. The tall sizes are spot on and it only took me 40 years to find a shirt that fits properly. Also they are a thick heavy shirt so they work great for me, for work and out and about. At 17 bucks it’s literally a steal, I would highly, highly recommend!!!

Big fan or Carhartt. I love every product of theirs that I own. I am only putting this rating up to hopefully have someone investigate a potential product issue. I believe that a bunch of 3XL shirts in black were mislabelled or some other defect. I have initiated a return for this product. If you check the picture I uploaded the grey shirt is a normal 3XL, the black shirt is also labelled as 3XL, but you'll notice it is significantly smaller. Another review commented with the same issue, so I would be wary of ordering this shirt in black until this issue is solved and the erroneous products are replaced. I own a bunch of Carhartt items in this size and the Carhartt Mens Big & Tall Workwear Pocket Short-Sleeve T-Shirt Original Fit K87 has been the only one way off in size, which leads me to believe there is a mislabel. Thanks!

Shame.. nice colour and nicely made but very over sized. Would recommend going down a size rather than up (UK)

It's hard to explain the experience of "fit as expected" when you are used to buying extra-large just so you have enough length in your t-shirts. I am on the tall side, and when I tried the shirt on (Large/Tall - ordered from Amazon without having tried anywhere else first) as was actaully excited I could wear a Large and have it fit generously in the length while also fitting my shoulders and neck correctly. According to my age, gender, height I am currently at an 'ideal' BMI yet this is the first t-shirt that actually fits me; I was actaully nicknamed "half-shirt" once upon a time because the average stanfield/CK/fruit of the loom are simply too stumpy in the cut for me. The only reason I gave the shirt 4 out of five is that the cotton is a very heavy weight, so this shirt is not for summer use even though it is 100 % cotton.

This is simply a great t-shirt.It is heavier cotton, so better for the cool to colder months. It is very nicely stitched.The length is great for taller men. It is so hard to find good lengths for taller men.Nice colours too.The only thing I did not like, and it's a personal thing, is the small brand logo stitched on the pocket. I just wish it was not there at all.It is hard to buy good quality t-shirts off the net, that fit nicely , so I wrote this to help other consumers.
