Carhartt Men's Heavyweight Cotton Thermal Crew Neck T-Shirt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an engineer, I spend a great deal of time outside, sometimes 4-6 hours a day, regardless of weather. And, I've been doing this for over 25 years. I've seen the cheap underwear fall apart after a couple of years, usually at the cuffs and collars. Stitching will buy you another season but that's it. I wear this stuff from October through April so it gets a good workout.
This underwear is thick! Compared to the average long underwear, like the Covington (a decent, cheap brand), that you can see through, the Carhartt is thick, even thicker than the so-called Duo-Fold brand (also another good brand but more expensive than the Covington.). Although it could be argued that trapped air provides insulation, I doubt it. A thick layer provides better protection than a thin one. If someone you know needs protection from the wind and cold, for work or fun, this is the underwear to buy.
I would recommend this underwear, despite its price because it higher quality and will last longer.
Take care when buying long underwear in general. I usually fit a medium and buy large. Because of shrinkage, I usually go for extra large. With this brand, a large fits well, even after washing in cold water. If you have doubts about the dryer --- most shrinkage occurs in the dryer because static attraction pulls the fibers together (especially bad with wool -- often permanent) --- let the underwear air-dry. Why not? One advantage of winter is dry air, therefore, wet clothes can dry by themselves. I use a coat rack for this drying.
