Great shirt doesn't shrink. Would not again

Perfect comfortable fit

If you are strictly a fan of Carhartt's traditional heavyweight cotton tees, stepping down to the Force series takes some adjustment. The fabric here is notably lighter, sleeker, and engineered with FastDry technology to wick sweat, which makes it an incredible option for hot, humid days when a 6.7-ounce K87 would feel like a sauna suit. The color selection is a major high point, offering rich tones that you don't typically see in the standard heavyweight lineup. The fit is relaxed and comfortable once you nail it, but sizing is genuinely tricky. It tends to run large and boxy, so you will likely need to drop down a size depending on how you want it to drape. Thankfully, the return and exchange process is seamless, with quick customer service response times and fast refund processing when you inevitably have to swap sizes. If you want a breathable, sharp-looking tee for warmer weather and don't mind dialing in your fit through trial and error, this is a solid addition to the rotation. What size should you have ordered in this tee if you normally wear a large in the classic K87 heavyweight series? You should order a medium. Because the Force Relaxed series is cut with a roomier, high-mobility athletic fit and utilizes stretchy synthetic-blend fabric compared to the rigid, shrink-to-fit heavyweight cotton of the K87, dropping down one full size ensures you still get a relaxed look without swimming in excess fabric.

I love the Force Pocketed T-shirts with the ragland sleeves and long tail for comfort and durability. I have found that the black neck strips run larger that the older yellow neck strips. To get the snug neck that I like, I have had to size down from a large to a medium. The quality has remained excellent.

Consistent size and quality
