Threadsmiths Men's Cavalier Hydrophobic T-Shirt

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend. I did months of research for this shirt and was really excited for it. Great material. I can't give a review on how it wears but what I can tell you is definitely go with a size larger, or maybe two sizes larger...think women's sizes. Before you order, check sizing chart and measure. The sizes they list are not what they are. Unless you are super skinny and short dude, you're going to want to bigger.

Ok so here's my take on this Hydrophobic shirt now that I've had sufficient time to wear it, wash it and test it out under many different circumstances. As many have already stated and I completely agree, the sizing is a bit off. I ordered large and it's very snug. It feels much like a slim fit shirt that hugs my body tightly. The length of the shirt is perfect for me (I'm 6') but it is really tight and should I order it again, I think I would actually go up a size larger. Also, as others have stated, the hydrophobic properties actually work well and is the main reason for my 4 star rating. It does seem to repel water and grease extremely well. A perfect example and the first real tough test of these properties - I was doing some garage work and accidentally got some dark grease on it. Having a white shirt I was really worried that it would not come out. Simply took it off, put it into the washing machine with no detergent and presto it came out clean. I've made it a habit not to put it into the dryer. I hang in my closet and find it's pretty dry by the next morning. I'm afraid that any heat may cause it to shrink and even a little more at this point and it would not fit me at all. However, I was shocked and quite surprised how easily the grease came out of this shirt and also how well it still looked after it was washed. This has now become my go to shirt for my dirty jobs!Now for the not so good. Right from the first wear, I really dislike the tag that is sewn into the bottom side of the shirt. It's not a soft flimsy tag. It's an annoying harsh, stiff feeling tag that have corners that jab at my skin, when I'm wearing it. In fact, this tag was so annoying to me that I tried carefully to remove it. And in doing so, I accidentally tore open a hole in the shirt where it was held on. Spent a few dollars to the tailor to get the hole fixed and now the shirt feels much better without that annoying tag. The second main area that could be improved is the collar at the neck. It's very thin and after washing a few times it seems like it's curling up and not in a good way. I don't know why it's doing this, but it's also annoying. The last thing that I wish could be improved is the Threadsmiths logo that is screen printed on the upper back of the shirt. I really wish they would have left this off and just kept the smaller tag on the sleeve. The sleeve tag is more classy looking in my opinion than the screen printed one on the back.Overall - I'm sure if you're considering this shirt, you'll be excited by the hydrophobic properties. Just make sure to order a size larger than you think you would need and if you hate annoying sharp washing instruction tag, be more careful than I was when you try to remove it.

Got the biggest size (1 size larger than my boyfriend typically wears), and it was extremely form fitting. Which anyone who sweats a lot knows is not comfortable, regardless of how hydrophobic it is. I will say, the water repelling feature is pretty cool.

Works as expected but I got the largest size and it's still a bit snug, shows off the guns if your a fan of that but a few other cuts would be nice

This shirt is truly amazing! The liquid rolls right off the shirt! And it doesn’t even go through the shirt!

It was hydrophobic but it wasn’t threadsmiths.

good

actually works as advertised
