This Shirt Needs a Major Overhaul

This shirt is a minimum of two sizes smaller than it promotes itself to be and doesn't do the only job it was supposed to: fit.
Published: September 25, 2011
Pros:
It's got a great design, supporting a great website and a great company.
Cons:
Absolutely not a 3X

extremely useful review
Before we go any further, dear reader, I want to make one thing very clear: I take my ratings very seriously. I try to see the bright side of whatever products I review, because there's a redeeming quality to almost every product, even if there's nothing redeeming for me. To the best of my knowledge, this is the very first product I have assigned a rating of 1-Star to, so I do hope you know how seriously I take that rating.


The EdenFantasys t-shirt is a regular cotton t-shirt, which functions, as most clothes do, as a way to not be naked. It is a mid-weight cotton, lighter than most regular t-shirts, but thinner than summer weight jersey cotton. Pre-shrunk, you won't have to worry about this already tiny shirt becoming any smaller (though if it got any smaller, it might disappear). The shirt is fairly stretchy, as most t-shirts are, but it doesn't have the substantial stretch of lycra. There were no care instructions included with the shirt, and it just came in a clear plastic bag, so I would recommend washing this with your dark coloured laundry, as it may 'bleed' onto lighter clothes. There is no information on the exact makeup, but my call is a cotton/poly blend. When worn, the shirt is soft and comfortable, though the collar and sleeves are a little tight; you can stretch these out, though, or cut them to make it more comfortable.

The shirt features a design which reads
"I like things that go VROOM
EdenFantasys"

The screenprinting is... Okay. My t-shirt arrived with some kind of schmutz on it (it looked, honestly, like someone had dropped something on it) but that came out in the wash. Even so, ew? Let's not think about that, now. The rest of the screenprinting varies; the VR and first O are very cleanly done, but there's a smudge of white paint between them that didn't come out in the wash. The second O has black space around the letters where it wasn't lined up properly, and the M looks like it had been taken off the press too quickly and set down, since the white lettering on the letter itself is distorted (again, like someone took it off the press when the ink was dry, and the ink smudged off). Obviously these are all minor details, but minor details add up.


The size tag on the shirt is tiny, and is easily removed (awesome if you want to keep your actual size on the downlow, or if you're like me, and consider size tags to be the punishment from the Seventh Layer of Hell).
Experience
I ordered the 3X shirt, figuring that it would be big enough that I could wear it as a night-shirt. What I got? Not big enough for a night shirt. Not big enough for a regular shirt. Not big enough, period. This is what I got (please excuse the awful grainy photo; I will do my best to replace it with a better quality image).



Now, just for some context, I laid the shirt I got from Eden (remember, this is a 3X shirt) on top of another shirt, which is purple for contrast. This other shirt is a standard unisex XL shirt.

That's right: So this shirt is not only NOT a 3X, but it's substantially smaller than a standard XL shirt; closer to a Large.

I also checked it against a 2X women's fitted shirt: maybe they just forgot to mark it as women's? Nope. It's still small.


Because of this, I cannot, in good conscience, rate this product anything higher than 1-star. It simply does not do what it says it will: fit me. And if a product doesn't do what it says it will, then the product doesn't deserve a good rating.

Thanks you for all the info on this shirt. I just got mine as a free gift with my order, and I am glad I got a XL instead of a Large. Something told me go bigger then I usually do.

Thanks for the heads up & the pics are awesome! They definitely put the smaller sizing into perspective.

Great review! Thank you for sharing. I agree with you, it's not true to size. I think the 3X is closer to a Large than anything. I chose the 3X for a sleep shirt, so glad I didn't order a smaller size. Can't complain much, they all came free with my orders but, they do need to work on the sizing. I also received more than 1 material type.

I had the same issue. My XL is exactly the same size size as a men's medium Hanes undershirt!

I have this in a 3x and it doesn't fit at all. Almost everything in my closet is "smaller" than that and fits me. I was really disappointed.

I got an XL and it fits me like a Large and fits me a bit tight around the arms.

  • #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.

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