Review: Alfani Stretch Undershirt

I wanted to follow up with you regarding your recommendation of the Alfani 95/5 stretch V collar undershirt. I was looking for a new brand to replace the my current, worn out, and discontinued supply of white stretch undershirts. I came to you for some suggestions because I was having a hard time finding shirts that were not 100% cotton.

The first and only 95/5 shirt I had experience with, other than the one I am describing below was a large sized shirt made by Champion and it was sold in Target stores. I assumed this shirt would always be sold there, so I bought six and never looked for them again. When I purchased them it was approximately 2005 and I am just now replacing them. They are very stained and overdue for the trash but still hard to give up. Even five and a half years old, they remain comfortable and hold their shape fairly well. I even went against the care instructions and bleached them a few times. When I asked in Target if the shirts were available, I was told they were discontinued. I believe Champion has a similar shirt on the market but I have only seen them on the internet at a drasticly increased price.

I went to Macy’s per your suggestion and bought a pack of the previously mentioned shirt to see how they would compare to those undershirts I had been wearing for the last 5 years. Being 5’10 and a fluctuating 180 -185 lbs fairly decent athletic build, I went with the large size due to the measurements suggested by Alfani.

The shirt seems fairly light weight, definitely not bulky and is not see through. It fits slightly snug around the arms and comfortable across the chest when you first put it on. With a length of 29″ at my height the shirt extends well below the waist line.

Here are the Pros and Cons based upon my experience with the shirt.

The Good

The shirt does not appear to be too thin or heavy in thickness.

At recommended size for measurements, the shirt fits comfortably.

The stretch allows for a comfortable non-restrictive fit.

The price is very affordable, about $10 or so for a two pack.

The Not-So-Good

The ridge that goes around the collar is 1″ wide and thicker than I am used to in a T-shirt.

The 29″ length tends to bunch up around the waist line of pants.

The collar seems to show some of the wrinkling that all cotton shirts present.

The Verdict

Overall I like the shirt, I wear them under dress shirts, 3 button polo’s, and sweaters. On many occasions I end up wearing them to bed. They don’t seem to get too loose or tangled while I sleep. I like a snug shirt and I would recommend the Alfani shirt but if you like the shirt snug, try both the large and medium to determine how snug you want it. After washing the shirts a few times, the did shrink a bit and fit quite nicely even as the day progresses.

If I were to choose between the Champion and the Alfani shirt, I would stick with the Champion.
