I’m 6ft tall, 175lbs wearing a Medium Tall in all three images above.
materials
100% Cotton, 275g gsm. The material feels extremely thick for a t-shirt. If you’re going to put “Premium” in the name of the product, it better be impressive. Well, I’m impressed.
fit
These Premium Heavyweight Tees come in both Regular and Tall lengths. Tall sizes are 2″ longer in the body and 1/2″ longer in sleeve length. These have an oversized fit as you can see in the images above and video below. I was very happy with the fit because that’s what I was expecting. I did try the regular length and didn’t like that the bottom felt very flowy. I liked that the went Tall length laid on my pants and wasn’t just floating in the air like the Regular length did. FYI – It’s pretty abnormal for me to buy a Tall size at any other Company (I did this for the Abercrombie Popover Hoodie as well).
comfort
This shirt is super soft and comfortable which I love. The material almost feels like suede.
Below is my YouTube review of the Premium Heavyweight Tee along with 4 other Abercrombie T-Shirts. I set the video to start playing at the moment I begin the Premium Heavyweight Tee review portion.
Overall
Overall, this t-shirt absolutely lives up to its “Premium” name. If you are looking for a thick, heavyweight, high quality, oversized t-shirt that holds up incredibly well in the washer/dryer, look no further.
PROS
- Extremely high quality
- Pretty good color selection
- Doesn’t shrink after machine wash/dry
- Soft and comfortable
- Fit is great if you’re looking for an Oversized Tee
CONS
- This specific Tee is a bit pricey (certain colors do go on sale though)
- If you’re not into the oversized look, you most likely will want to pass on this one
