So soft, yet so small

I really do like the quality and the feel of this shirt. For anyone interested in purchasing it though, be aware that it will be form-fitting. If you like loose fitting clothing like I do, try to order it in 2 or 3 sizes larger than you would normally wear.

I received this shirt for free with a purchase a couple of years ago, but never got around to writing a review.

First Thoughts:
When I first received this shirt, I loved it. The bright colors of the text over the black background of the shirt looks beautiful. Even better than how it looks, is how it feels. This is incredibly soft and has a silk-like texture (even though it claims to be 100% cotton). I usually keep the things that I get from Edenfantasys private and away from my roommates, however, when I got this, I immediately had to have them feel how soft it was as well. Unfortunately, my love for this shirt ended once I put it on.

Sizing:
At the time that I ordered this, all of my shirts were either L or XL, so I decided to order an XL just to be safe. I put the shirt on and realized that it was much smaller than I had expected. It was basically form-fitting to my body (which as an XL sized male, is not very comforting). I thought that surely I accidentally received the wrong size, but when checking the tag, it did say XL. I was disappointed with the sizing, but it was at least wearable for lounging inside the house.

Washing and Care:
This shirt claims to be made of "heavy weight preshrunk 100% cotton" and "machine washable" which explains why it did not come with any washing instructions, so I threw it in the washing machine like I would any of my other clothing. After pulling it out of the wash, I greatly started to doubt the claim of 100% preshrunk. It looked like it had shrunk a bit, but I put it on anyway because appearances can be easily deceiving. At this point it would barely fit me at all. I could just get it to stretch enough to put on, but it had become so tight and uncomfortable that I could not wear it at all.

Round Two:
I decided to order another shirt because I really loved the way that the shirt felt and wanted to have one that actually fit me. This time I ordered a 2X sized shirt thinking that it should be plenty large enough to fit me well. When I put on the new shirt it really didn't feel all that much larger. It still felt like the shirt was trying to be form-fitting, although it did fit well enough for casual wear. With this shirt, I still machine wash it, however I spin dry it (no heat), and it does not seem to have shrunk at all.

Durability:
I have had this shirt for 2 years now, and it is in seemingly the same condition that it was in when I ordered it. It has held up beautifully. However, I do not wear it too frequently.
