10th order, they do shrink after washing
Special Size: T Shirt, Size: Small, Color: T Shirt - Boys - 10 Pack - White
I guess its time to write a review. I've been buying these for 6 years now for my 10 yr old grandson. I have gone through every kids size S-XL I can unequivocally say they are the best! My kiddo will not wear any other pj top to bed , PJ day at school he will wear something "special" a matching set, but to sleep ...nope! The 7 pack works out to approx $3.50 ea. Pure white, pure soft cotton, no tags. They get softer the more they get washed. A little bleach they stay white. If they get stained...who cares .. remember 3.50 , yep that bad boy can hit the trash guilt free. Every single one of these Tees he has literally grown out of , none got holes . They are the best , softest easiest pj top ever. No trying to match bottoms he wears gym shorts . They are a heck of a great deal! Buy some! Order regular size..they start out big then shrink with washing. 100% cotton you should expect that. Grandson is 10 yrs old, 4'6" tall , about 92 lb.s L fits great , size up if you arent sure.

Comfortable durable undershirts that keep up with active kids
Special Size: T Shirt, Size: Small, Color: T Shirt - Boys - 10 Pack - White, Special Size: T Shirt, Size: Small, Color: T Shirt - Boys - 10 Pack - White
These Fruit of the Loom boys undershirts have been a great everyday essential in our home. The cotton fabric feels soft right out of the package and holds up really well after multiple washes without losing shape or becoming rough. That is a big plus when you are constantly doing laundry for kids. What really stands out is how practical they are for active days. The moisture wicking feature actually helps keep my child feeling dry, even during school and playtime. The extended hem is another thoughtful detail because it truly stays tucked in and avoids that constant adjusting throughout the day. I also appreciate the tag free design and layflat collar. There is no itching or irritation, which makes a noticeable difference especially for kids who are sensitive to textures. The fit is flexible and comfortable, making them perfect for layering under school clothes or wearing on their own in warmer weather. Overall these undershirts strike a great balance between comfort, durability, and functionality. They are reliable basics that make daily routines easier and more comfortable for kids.

Pack of 7 t-shirts for an unbeatable price cant beat it
Special Size: T Shirt, Size: Medium, Color: T Shirt - Boys - 7 Pack - White
When I saw the price for the amount it brought I was instantly sold. White t-shirts are always needed but the price for 7 of them cant beat it. Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I got my 11 year old son a medium which is the size he usually wears and they are super snug he wore them already and I washed them and they are a bit tight to wear out but to be inside the house its fine. Im ordering more and getting a Large this time. Will write a review once I receive the Large to advise if a bigger size is better just incase anyone is buying for their child around the same age. The quality of the shirt is great as well not to thick but not to thin just right and my son is picky with the material of clothes and he loved them.
