Organic Basics:
Organic Basics: True Tee T-Shirts (Size S)
Age: 2 Months
Stretch: These are not stiff but they also don’t have much stretch either.
Frequency of Wear: I wear these every week.
Fit: These are a fitted shirt. I think they are true to size. I have gotten them for myself and a friend and they fit both of us perfectly without appearing unfitted but still being roomie and comfortable.
Faded Color: None, I have washed this several times
Price: $30
Quality: I haven’t had them for too long yet. But they appear to be of good quality. They are a thicker t-shirt and well sewed.
Recommendation: I would absolutely recommend these to someone. I wear them frequently and use them as layering to keep warm. I got three shirts, two short sleeve and one long sleeve. Love them all!
Photo Notes: I would like to note that these photos of the black seemed to have weird lighting thing, as you can tell because even the background color has changed. But the shirt is a solid black color and has not faded after several washes. The white shirt is truly white, which clearly, I have a stain on mine which is my own fault. But this doesn’t impact the quality of these items and their review. The winkles are also my fault.
Pact:
Pact: Softspun Crew Neck Tee – T-Shirts (Size S)
Age: 2 Months
Stretch: I think this will likely stretch over time. The fit now though is not a stiff shirt.
Frequency of Wear: Weekly
Fit: This is a fitted shirt while also being looser at the bottom. It is very comfortable.
Faded Color: None, even after several washes
Price: $24
Quality: It has stretched a big and will likely continue to give in shape over time. But it sewed well. I think the stretch is due to the material.
Recommendation: I like the shirt and think it is comfortable. Would I recommend for long term, I am not sure I can say I would yet. I think once I have had this shirt for a year I can give an update on this. That being said, I like this shirt better than other shirts I have thrifted in terms of quality. It hasn’t stretch or torn like other new cheap t-shirts I have purchased. I do also love the color options of this shirt.
