Unfortunately for me, I ordered 3 of these shirts in a variety of colors right away, rather than buying one and seeing if I liked it.

I don't like these shirts. I bought 3 size large, because all of my other shirts that fit well are size large.

They are barely long enough lengthwise, stopping at about my hips. And they are VERY wide, and cut very unflatteringly. It is as though these shirts are made for short wide people, because it BILLOWS on me torso wise, while at the same time being nearly too short to be usefully worn.

I certainly won't be buying Russel shirts again.

Russell's 100% cotton t's & long sleeve t's make great layering wear or just by themselves. Quality made at a reasonable price.

The Russell Long Sleeve Tee is a good deal at $9.99 and it qualifies for Free Shipping too!

I'm a slim to average guy and it fits very well. It's not too loose nor too tight. It's about an inch longer (at the bottom) than I'd like, but it's not a big deal. The fabric is not as soft as my J. Crew ($20)layering tee, but it's still comfortable. I really like the width or thickness of the collar on the tee. Some t-shirts have a very narrow & thin collar but the Russell Tee is perfect.

This is a great long sleeve layering tee under a polo shirt or graphic t-shirt. You should probably buy one t-shirt first to try out, then buy a few more if you like it. I definitely recommend the Russell Long Sleeve Tee.

The material is a little scratchy and lighter weight than I expected, but all in all this is a good product at the price. I will say they don't seem to stretch out of shape as fast as other brands.

If you are looking for higher quality (and price) get the Champion version.

I own several Russell t-shirts that are about 10 years old. They are heavy cotton and even 10 years later...still are holding up well. I got this one today and the cotton is probably 50% of what it used to be. You can almost see through it compared to the old Russell shirts. I think that a Beefy T-shirt is thicker. Disappointing for what they used to be. If you don't mind a thinner cotton shirt, this one is good.

Material is a bit thin and cuffs are a bit tight. Would reccoment Soffie from Amazon or Sams Club.

I should know better by now, but this time I figured if I bought the 3X size it might be long enough to at least make it to my belt. Nope. Now, having said that, I'm not a scarecrow by any means--I typically wear XL or XXL T-shirts. Right now I'm wearing a Reebok 2X NY Giants T-shirt that's about 4 inches longer than this 3X Russell t-shirt and I've found this to be true of every Russell shirt I've ever purchased. I don't know what they use as a template, but all I can figure is that they use dwarves. Check out the model in the picture. The shirt is hanging below his crotch--when I wear it I look like Comic Book guy from the Simpsons. I wear 40 X 30 jeans, so it's not like I'm Fat Albert--I'd just like Russell to add a couple of inches to all their athletic shirts. Their sweatshirts have the same problem.

Either my shirt was mislabeled, or someone doesn't know how large to make "large" size shirt. It was so big, I just gave it to my grown son, who is much, much bigger than me.

I have always bought the Pro cotton but they were unavailable this year in long sleeve. I disagree that they are wide. I am 5'10", 155, a runner, so hardly a big guy. The large fits me just fine but then I have always liked my shirts a little big.

No neck tags but kind of a weird sleeve logo. A friend thought I had dipped the sleeve in something at dinner the other night.

501 jeans and this long sleeved tee. Almost stylish my wife tells me. At least as stylish as I'll ever get, I think she means.

I wear them everywhere. I wish these didn't have the logo on the sleeve, though.

The "tag" on the arm (a small 'R' logo) melted immediately when I put these in the drier on low (as directed)and the sleeves now have this little black stuff on them that looks like melted wax. The shirts I bought were white in color, so this renders them unwearable.

Aside from that the shirts were about average. Relatively thin material that looks like it might be good for 'breathing' in a hot climate but not so good if you want something warmer.
