 great fit but it pills September 26, 2008
I purchased a bunch of these shirts in April of this year, and now not even 6 months later (late Sept) I'm noticing the shirts are already pilling on the lower back. The shirts fit great but it's clear they won't last long compared to many other shirts I own.
Sure these shirts fit well and are (relatively) cheap but their durability is absolutely pathetic. I would expect them to last at least 6 months (ideally much longer) without pilling problems.
 all right by me !!! May 14, 2008

Fruit Of The Loom makes a durable and somewhat heavier than usual tee shirt that comes in over twenty colors! They are perfect for the change of seasons here in New York because they are a bit heavier; but naturally these shirts are comfortable in warm weather, too. The double needle stitching at the sleeve and bottom hemline proves they are made to last. I also like the shoulder to shoulder fit--it makes the shirt look like one of the better made T-shirts out there. What's more, the 50% cotton 50% polyester feel is great. I agree with the reviewer who writes that these shirts aren't literally "heavyweight;" I think Fruit Of The Loom just uses that term to let people know that the fabric is not thin.
Fruit Of The Loom makes these shirts in all types of sizes--all the way from small to XXX-Large! In a world where big and tall people have fewer choices, unfortunately, Fruit Of The Loom provides them with a very handsome and long lasting T shirt. That's excellent!
Two cautionary notes exist, however. First, as of the time I am writing this, you probably should check the "pricing and availability chart" if you're going to buy this from this website. It's not hard--just click on the link above. Second, although these shirts are machine washable, I would wash these shirts with garments that have similar colors. That way if any color dye accidentally leaks from the shirt it won't bleed onto your white garments.
Overall, these Tee shirts actually have a high amount of quality control that goes into each shirt and the very broad range of shirt sizes. I highly recommend them for men especially during the change of seasons and warmer weather; these tee shirts will be comfortable to lounge in or sleep in, too.
5 stars for this Tee April 25, 2008
I was looking for a superior cotton-blend tee, and this is it. Heavyweight fabric, holds its shape, nice fit, great price. I also ordered a couple of "American Apparel BB401 Poly-Cotton Short Sleeve Crew Neck" tees for comparison. The Fruit of the Loom 5930 is much sturdier than the American Apparel BB401 (which is too thin and flimsy), fits better, and is also half the price to boot.
Great T September 27, 2007
Great fit, excellent quality, great colors, love the shirt. These are the only ones that are comfortable enough for me.

Decent shirts, no complaints at all. Something to note though is that I'm 5'10, 150 lbs, and large fits me perfectly...and I haven't washed them yet.
One more thing to watch out for is that kelly green really should be called bright green.
