Fruit of the Loom Mens Plain athletic sleeveless vest

The vests were delivered very promptly. I was a bit disappointed by how thin the cotton was but they were very cheap so perhaps my expectations were too high.

nice thin vest, like i was after but the arm holes are very tight and cause some chafing around the general arm pit area

The vests were poor quality. They were also badly designed and cut causing a poor fit. The neck is much lower than the illustrations. Very disappointing.

5'9", 174lbs, size small. Fits snuggly. :) I suggest going for a size lower if you don't want it baggy around your body. Good quality material for the price as well.

I didn't want thick vests, which is good because they aren't. What they are is a selection of well made vests with a good selection of strong colours.

I bought these for wearing it in the gym.

I have not had any problem with the cloth shrinking, the only problem is the holes for the shoulder are a tad bit small and it rubs under the arms, but after a few days and a couple of washes they fit ok.

I have been buying these in multiples of three since discovering them a few months ago. They are tight around the pits, which is actually what I like about them now (it means they are actually unisex-like rather than 'men's') and they 'pull everything in' if you're a bit 'puffy' on top. The material is slightly coarse, but nonetheless comfortable. I have been wearing tee shirts under clothes all my life, but have been converted to these vests as they are so comfy. The only downside for me is the shrinkage in body length when washed. All my clothes are washed on a 30 degree wash and air dried not tumbled. These vests lose a few inches in length after they are washed. My wife has been stretching them out after washing and they aren't so bad. Still enough to not rise up over my belly though. Another inch on the length would take care of the shrinkage. That said, I'm going to get more shortly. Black and blue this time probably. The heather grey and white are nice looking and my favourite colours, but I want colours for all occasions to go under tops and shirts.

I wouldn't recommend sleeping in them unless you have small shoulders. Probably too restrictive for night wear.

For the record, I bough large and I'm 5'11", modestly sized with a 44in chest, 32in waist (with a fat tyre round the waist), and around 13 stone and these fit me perfectly and hold me in place for the most. ;-)

Bought two for my other half for the gym as he likes cotton only but although they fitted in the body they were way too tight round the arms so I gave them to my son who is quite a bit smaller and he said exactly the same thing! Not worth the hassle of returning so they are going to the charity shop!
