Do a search in the reviews of these T-shirts using the word “inconsistent” and you’ll see others have similar comments to mine. With almost 27,000 reviews on these shirts, not sure if anyone will even see this review, but here we go.
I have about 5 Comfort Colors T-shirts that I got in the past year; all are size Large, and they fit great in the body and neck with nice soft cotton, and they are fantastic T-shirts. I recently ruined a denim-colored Comfort Colors T-shirt using Spray-n-Wash on a couple food stains on the chest; the Spray-n-Wash faded the blue color in the treated areas. No worries, I’ll just order a replacement shirt….
I decided to order two replacement Comfort Colors T-shirts with one being blue jean-colored and the second being a denim-colored T-shirt. Both are blue with blue jean being slightly lighter blue than the denim, but I decided to order two since I like these T-shirts so much. The blue jean shirt arrived and fit great and is just like all my other large Comfort Colors shirts, and it’s a keeper. However, the denim shirt I received was too small: it was tight in the chest, the body was shorter, and the sleeves were shorter. I have attached two photos with one showing this new denim shirt on top of the shirt I ruined with Spray-n-Wash and another showing this new denim shirt on top of an orange Custom Colors shirt to show the smaller size of the new shirt. The neck-size in the new denim shirt I received was fine, but the shirt was noticeably too small in all other dimensions. I immediately ordered another denim-colored shirt hoping to get a “correct size” shirt, and the second denim shirt arrived the next day, and it was also smaller in all the dimensions exactly like the first denim shirt I had just ordered. All three of these new Comfort Colors shirts (one blue jean and two denim) and the denim shirt I ruined with Spray-n-Wash were sold and delivered by Amazon (i.e. none were third party vendors). I’m returning both of the too-small denim-colored shirts, and I’ll live without that color and enjoy my new blue jean shirt.
As another point of reference, I purchased a pepper-colored Comfort Colors T-shirt from a third-party vendor on Amazon about 11-months ago in November 2024, and the neck on the pepper shirt was too large and gave the shirt a stretched-out and worn-out look even though the shirt was new. A third attached photo of the pepper shirt next to an orange Custom Colors shirt and shows the neck size difference. I messed up and didn’t return the pepper shirt within 30-days last year, but since I never wear it due to the way-too-large neck opening, it’s going to Goodwill.
Ordering these shirts from Amazon as the seller has been hit or miss and doesn’t guarantee a consistent fit, and ordering shirts from a third-party seller on Amazon didn’t work out well when I did it in November 2024. So, I’m not sure what the lesson is here other than the sizing of these shirts is inconsistent; when the sizing is correct they're great, but ordering them online and getting correct sizing can be a PITA. It’s a bit of a hassle to have to take them to a UPS Store or other location to return the shirts if they don’t fit well, but at least if you order through Amazon Prime, the returns are free.
