How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

MR T J KENT
5.0 out of 5 starsGood value Good quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 October 2016
I needed some tee shirts and these seemed a good price less than a tenner for 5.Wasn't expecting to much,but quite surprised at the quality for the price.
I see some reviews stating they shrink,but noticed the washing recommendations Machine wash - Cold (30° max).I usually throw everything in washing machine on 40 degrees,so being careful with these as I don't want them to shrink.
I would say the size is smaller than I thought they"d be as I was going for medium,but glad I went large instead.They fit me fine,but think medium wouldn't of fitted.
Overall pleased with purchase.

I bought this as it said “heavy” I have to wear a shoulder brace with a strap around my chest, a thick heavy T-shirt would hide this but this T-shirt is so thin you can see everything’s under it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money - shrinks on first wash
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 July 2020
Size: XLColour: WhiteVerified Purchase
The fit when first removed from the packet was good; HOWEVER, after the first wash (following manufacturers guidelines in the label) the t-shirt shrunk considerably - it lost about 2" in length and is no longer wearable. I have attached a photo to show a washed t-shirt on top of one just removed from the packet.

Unfortunately other reviewers have complained of the same issue. I wish I had noted those reviews before purchase, now I am going to have to ditch these and buy an alternative item from elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not such good value
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2017
Size: XLColour: NavyVerified Purchase
I purchased these t shirts last month and originally posted a positive review, however having put them through a wash (as per washing instructions) they have shrunk. Equally worrying is that one of the T shirts has started to come apart at the seams on the shoulder. So what I thought were very good value T shirts turn out to be not such good value.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Fit for Purpose.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2020
Size: MColour: NavyVerified Purchase
The t-shirts were the right size and colour as ordered.
Apart from that they are really poor quality and the machining is appalling.
The attached photos show how the over stitching around the neck line is unravelling after being worn for a few hours and being washed once.
In addition they carry a label stating Made in Ireland and the last Fruit on the Loom factory in Ireland closed 16 years ago? These are either really old stock of cheap copies?
Do yourself a favour and don't buy these.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor quallity
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2016
Size: SColour: WhiteVerified Purchase
Too small and started coming away at the seams when first washed .I have had fruit of the loom(FOTL) gear before, but have had no issues like this. This is either not FOTL or a really low quallity item from them??

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE THEM !
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 October 2018
Size: 3XLColour: NavyVerified Purchase
I bought 10 shirts in all awhile back, 65 blue & 5 black , just a little slow in getting to the reviews but so far NO SHRINKAGE and they are still in 1 piece and with all the animals I work with that is amazing and my husband loves them too. They area bit on the heavier side and the blue ones tend to run a tad smaller on myself than the black ones but they fit HIM to perfection. As with most things that tend to fade with washing THESE HAVE NOT..the blue is still just as blue and black is BLACK not some off color version. GREAT VALUE for money !!! Will be definitely buying more again soon so Iam stocked up as I tend to wear my clothing like a uniform 'cause I never know what kind of mess, I am in for from day to day and they clean up GREAT in a 40 wash and have had them as hot as 60 & 90 with a ow tumble dry and no shrinkage. Arrived on time and no excess packaging so NO COMPLAINTS HERE. I would however say, that if you tend to run on the larger size around the arms or chest like I do, buy a size up , after all my husbands chest size is a lot smaller than mine but he has plenty of room to move about in. LOVE THEM !

5.0 out of 5 stars Value for money
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2020
Size: XLColour: Navy/Red/Orange/Royal/YellowVerified Purchase
They are VALUEWEIGHT, so a little lighter weight than FotL's top quality stuff, but excellent value for money. Nice bright colours for cheering you up during lockdown! They have held their shape, size and colour over several washes, so very pleased with these shirts. Will be buying more.
