All the Port and Company cotton T-shirts I purchased were different sizes. One XL shirt was smaller than another XL shirt. The inconsistency of the shirts (sizes) was signifcant. Some of the problem could have been because the vendor sold me T-shirts made in three different countries. In contacting the vendor they were more concerned about informing me about all the charges I would experience in returning these shirts. Would have been nice to have them offer a few resolutions like sending me the correct size shirts or at least offering an apology. Took a huge hit on restocking fees and return shipping for something that was not my fault. Bottom line...poor customer service and poor quality product.

The weight and quality of these shirts is very good. I am glad that I did not get a large number of them though - this was a trial run to see how the sizing was for me. I noted another reviewer saying she got several colors and the country of the t-shirt's origin seemed to make a sizing difference. (For whatever it's worth I got a lime green made in Haiti.)

As stated in the description, these shirts are in MEN'S sizes. If I'm in store trying on anything made for a man, usually an XL is fine. My bust and hips are not quite a 44, so I thought the men's XL which is supposed to fit 44-48" chests would be fine. It's closer fitting than I would normally like. Through the bust, it's not bad. The length is quite long - I'm 5'10" and it comes down over my butt. If it fit me loosely I'd be fine with the extra length, but it skims my rear so closely that it doesn't look good at all. It is likely that to wear it, I will fold the shirt up inside itself at the bottom so it doesn't hang so long.

If I were to get more of these, I'd think about going up to an XXL just to play safe... except the XL shoulders are already hanging off my shoulders, and I have broad swimmers' shoulders for a girl. It's not just the size, for me it's the cut. My t-shirt does claim to be pre-shrunk so hopefully that's true!

For those of you longing for the long-lost, beloved, eternally-revered Cheetah T-shirts, these Port T's are getting close. They are made of a good thick, durable cotton fabric rather like the Cheetahs, though it has a slightly different "hand"--not quite as smooth or stretchy as the Cheetah material (though maybe that will change with wear). The sizing is slightly smaller than the Cheetahs--XL is a closer fit than an XL Cheetah, though by no means too tight. Great color selection and price.

Of course the roomy Cheetahs had that magical, mysterious, and priceless ability to hang in some subtly advantageous way so as to de-emphasize one's flabbiness, an ability which we all miss so very much. The Ports, due to the just-slightly stiffer fabric and slightly smaller sizing, do not have this magic, alas.

When I first came across these t-shirts 2 weeks ago the price was discounted and so low ($4.66 each)I thought they would just be tissue paper so I only ordered one. After it arrived and I saw how well they were made and how well they fit I just went back and ordered 9 more! With 52 colors to choose from it took a while!

This shirt is well designed; full cut, and the cotton is nicer and a bit thicker than expected. The neck feels just right, the length, perfect. What's not to like?

The shirt is true to size. I had a good experience with this company and would order from them again.
