Great quality tshirt

This shirt runs bigger than most basic tees since it's more of a boxy fit. I went a size down to an XS (I'm 127 lbs, 5'4", 34c), and it's a perfect fit. It still is loose and not too short. I have the pretty shade of green and just purchased the white with the fine grayish stripe. This one pairs gre...

Pleeeease bring back the Organic Tees!

The boxy cropped fit of this essential tee is just not a good look for my 5'7" broad shouldered LONG torso HOURGLASS athletic figure. Athleta used to carry the organic tees that hit mid hip (couple inches below hip bones), the waist was slightly tapered in (it gave the tee some shape, especially if ...

I own in multiple colors and the 2 necklines and I was looking forward to purchasing and seeing other colors pop up. The other tee shirts are not the same. This is my Favorite t-shirt fit and feel. Please don't discontinue.

Smells Awful

Comments about Essential Tee

The fit and color are nice. However, the shirt smelled horrific coming out of its individual shipping bag. I've washed the shirt 3 times according to the instructions on the tag, and it still smells noticeably bad enough to be unwearable. The other items delivered in the same order did not have this issue, so I assume the smell is a result of an issue with the shirt itself rather than something that happened during shipping.

Comments about Essential Tee

A great basic tee. The cotton fabric is breathable and structured. It's not heavy, but not so light to make it see-through. I appreciate the extra room in the arm openings. It is cropped, not too short, and works well with high-waisted pants.

Great fabric and design

Comments about Essential Tee

I like this essential tee a lot. It has a back seam which looks nice, and it is a stretchy fabric that is thicker than most of the other tees I've tried on recently. Nice fabric, nice design.
