I keep looking for tees I love as much as my favorite and beloved long skinny tee from Hard Tail. It's not easy to find the perfect combo though, the quality of fabric, the fit, the variety of colors. I have tried other tees, and tried to branch out, but it's not easy because I just haven't found other tees that are as worthy. The Hard Tail long skinny tees are done in a supima lycra combo (90% supima, 10% lycra). The blend is perfect because it has a nice weight to it (not see thru at all), and it holds it shape perfectly. It is a body conscious tee, but I don't feel like it is too fitted...I can layer them perfectly, but I feel comfortable wearing it solo too. Often with tees they are either too thin so they are see-thru, and the fabric so thin that it doesn't smooth out my lines. The Hard Tail tee is made in the U.S., which I like, and they wash perfect each and every time. I don't baby the tees, I don't worry about what they wash with, or what temperature they wash in...beccause they ALWAYS come out the same. They are pre-shrunk too, so when you try it on you know what you get, is what you get.
The fit has longer arm length and body length than average, which I personally really like...but what I like even more is that the hem edges are all raw and rolled--which means if the sleeve lengths are too long for you, all you need is a sharp par of scissors and you can cut them down--same with body length.
The fabric is deliciously soft too, which is what originally sold me. Hands down, the softest tees I own, no question. OH, and the black classic...does NOT fade---which is fantastic (and even though black seems boring, I had to point it out with a picture here because even though I have a ton of fun colors and washes in my closet, the black is an essential that I couldn't live without)!
I'll keep searching for something I like as well, but meanwhile I'll keep adding to my HT long skinny tee collection!
If you haven't tried them yet, trust me, they are awesome!
