Perfect T-Shirt? No. Comfortable? Yes!

Pros:
Comfortable
Quality fabric (100% cotton)

Cons:
Sub-par print quality
When I saw that Eden was offering these t-shirts, I was really excited to get my hands on one.
The front of the shirt reads, "I like things that go VROOM" with Eden's logo directly beneath, while the back of the shirt is blank.
These are unisex, and I had read some experiences of other members of the Eden community that said these t-shirts run a little small. I usually wear a medium, and I like my clothes to be fitted, as I'm not at all a fan of baggy or loose clothing. With this in mind, I decided to take my chances and order a medium anyway.
When it arrived, I quickly threw it on to check the fit, and it's really not as small as I thought it would be. While it is definitely more form fitting than my other medium t-shirts, it's by no means too small for me to wear. I probably could have gone with a large and still have achieved the fitted look I like, but I'm happy with this size. The t-shirt is 100% cotton and is preshrunk, so there was no noticeable change in shape or fit after the first wash and dry. If you're concerned about the fit or on the fence about which size to order, my advice would be to err on the side of one size larger than you usually wear. Two final notes about the fit: 1. The neckline is a little higher than most t-shirts, which is something to keep in mind in regards to sizing if you think this may annoy you. 2. I'm a guy, so I'm not taking breasts into account when I consider sizing for myself. If this doesn't apply to you, realize that a size bigger really may be a safer bet.
Now that we've covered the sizing, let me tell you that the feel of this t-shirt is awesome! It's very soft and light, and the only tag in the shirt is a very small one in the neckline with just the size on it (no instructions for washing/care are included). I'm planning on wearing it around the house frequently, as it totally meets my definition of the perfect loungewear.
As far as print quality goes, I'm left a little bit disappointed. The quality of the printed graphics on the t-shirt is...well, not so great. In the areas where the print was done correctly, the colors are wonderfully rich. Unfortunately, this is not consistent. As you can see below, there are several little spots where the black of the shirt shows through the print.
I realize that the print quality may differ from T-shirt to T-shirt, so if you wind up ordering one of your own your experience may vary.

Still love this shirt! It still gets a lot of use as an around the house shirt and is still just as comfortable as when I first got it.

#AskEden - EF Shirt Sizes
-
I normally wear a medium or a large. I ordered this shirt in XL so that I could wear it lounging and for sleep. Its so small though. It came about a medium or a small. Im afraid to wash it and see it shrink
-
I have three of these - one large, and two XL. The large was a bit snug, but the XL are fine, and have held up to repeated washings well.
-
There were actually a couple different types of EF shirts. The XL and larger shirts were sized a little smaller than expected, but the L and smaller shirts were right on with their sizes.
There were quite a few forum posts on this.

Material?
-
Why does it seem like I received one shirt made out of a thinner and softer material than the other shirts I received? Has anyone else experienced this?

Quote: Why does it seem like I received one shirt made out of a thinner and softer material than the other shirts I received? Has anyone else experienced this?I have three of these now (all in the same size). Each one is a different material! The first was very thin, stretchy, and really a great shirt since it is sized so small. The second was a very thick material with no stretch to it at all! I cannot even get that one on, even though it should fit exactly like the first one I received. The third shirt is wearable, but again is thicker material than the first, at least this one has a bit more stretch to it than the second one!
I would wager a guess that they are ordering these made up using the "most cost effective" material available, which would account for the varied material (which ever one is cheaper to make that day).
I know that I was happy with the first one, so I ordered more to "modify" some of them as I had seen in a video here. As it stands now...I have one to hide in the closet, one to tuck away for "emergency t-shirt needs", and one I can actually wear and enjoy.
So long as they are offering these free with purchase, I may get a few more (they'll make good rags if nothing else), but I wouldn't spend the $15 asking price on them with the materials being so varied from order to order! -
Good to know, and I hope the one I'll get in my next order will be a soft material.

They just came out so I don't think anyone has had a chance to wear them out yet.
