OT Mini-Review: Duluth Trading Co. 'Longtail' T-Shirts

Of the 18 VARIETIES they offer, I've been wearing two of them for years now, and they're the best 'plain' t-shirts I've found in a long time:
• MEN'S SHORT SLEEVE LONGTAIL T W/OUT POCKET
• MEN'S LONG SLEEVE LONGTAIL T WITHOUT POCKET

In terms of fabric weight, I'd call them 'medium' (some might say 'heavy'; I don't think anyone would call them 'light').

Comparing them to Carhartt cotton t-shirts, I'd say this is no comparison. For example, I bought an olive-colored Carhartt 'tall' size t-shirt at a local store the other day. One cold-water washing and low-temperature drying later it 'fits' like a tent (which seems to happen with a lot of their shirts).

That almost never happens with the Duluth Longtails (although it did with the two white-colored short-sleeve t-shirts I got there).

Regarding fit, I buy the Duluth t-shirts one size down compared to other brands, which according to the reviews seems to work for a lot of other people, too.
