Gildan Men's Crew T-Shirts 5-Pack (G1100)
Lightweight tag-free lay-flat collar. Same family as B077ZKDQLV. 100% cotton jersey (heather colors can be cotton/poly blend). This is NOT the G5000 Heavy Cotton, NOT the G2000 Ultra Cotton — different weight class. Pack count varies by color; this ASIN is the 5-pack. Classic fit, not muscle fit. Sizing is mixed in reviews (some say runs large, others say small) — not a clean "size down" recommendation. Heat-drying commonly shrinks them a full size. "Preshrunk" label is not reliable. Cold wash and air dry if you care about fit. One reviewer's 12-pack black XL: cold wash + no-heat tumble still felt thinner; they'd expect XXL to shrink to XL in a hot dryer. Men's Health tested a 5-pack over 6 weeks with 5+ wash-dry cycles: no shrink or fade, neck sat on collarbones, sleeves hugged biceps. Inside seams can have hanging threads. Shows sweat marks if you perspire heavily. Thickness after washing varies (some thinner like a gym tee, others still lightweight but not see-through). Collar recovery is inconsistent (some stay snug under a dress shirt, others hang loose). Buy if you need a cheap drawer restock and you won't hot-dry them. Skip if you wanted heavyweight or muscle fit (wrong family) or you dry everything on high.
