Blog Article: RibbedTee Undershirt Reviews from AskAndy Members

"the fit in the body was great and so much better than my old t-shirts. I just placed an order for a bunch of undershirts and am looking forward to them. The quality is excellent and I'll be sure to pass the word along to friends about the shirts and service; they are a perfect undershirt for tall and slender guys." - D.W. (New York)

Incomparable comfort! I first received 2 two-packs of the Classic Fit as gifts and really liked them, wearing them occasionally for going out. They feel great.

Then I started a new job back in an office after 5 years of working from home:  The dreaded dress shirts were back in play, all day, 5 days a week.  (This after hardly ever wearing pants for those 5 years, let alone a button up shirt).  Now the RibbedTees are indispensable.  The snug, but not tight fit, the breathability, the 'give', and the longer cut (no plumber's you-know-what) make it the ideal undershirt for comfort all day.  But then I picked up the latest version of the Classic with just slightly more room all around and broader shoulders: Now I have the perfect undershirt.

Sorry for the long delayed response. My order did indeed arrive safely after their circum-global transit- approximately 2 weeks ago. Just in time for when I had to wear my semi-formal dress uniform for NCO academy graduation, where the shirts worked quite well. My miserable old undershirts that easily become untucked have been relegated to yard work detail or rags. I only ordered one package because I didn't know for sure if the size was right or if even I would like the shirts. They fit my tall frame just fine and they are cool and comfortable. The weather here in Okinawa is very hot and humid.

I recently received an order of the extra-long RibbedTee undershirts, and I was very impressed. Being a taller person (6'2"), 99% of the undershirts I have come across over the years have been known to bunch up or shrink to the point where they cannot be tucked into your pants. That is absolutely NOT the case with the extra-long RibbedTee, even after washing and drying. Add in the great moisture wicking capabilities, which comes in handy if running around in your shirt, makes this hands down the best undershirt I have come across. Thanks!

"I just had the opportunity to try an innovation in underwear!!  Sorry nothing to do with Victoria’s Secret.

This is a man’s undershirt called RibbedTee™ available at http://www.ribbedtee.com/  and it’s a unique combination of what’s great in a ribbed athletic tank undershirt with the traditional Tee, with an improvement on both!

You get the close fit, comfort and cooling effects of the ribbed fabric with a tee’s underarm perspiration and deodorant/anti-perspirant protection for your shirt.  These undershirts, both crew or V-neck, feel really good, fit closely so you don’t get any bunched up fabric under your shirt, and stay tucked in (the length, top of shoulder to bottom, is cut extra long and engineered with a tailored cut – the bottom is 1" narrower than chest)!

They’ve even solved the loose sleeve problem with form fitting sleeves that stay in place.  Your choice in black or white.  The black version is the same fabric, but has an even more “silky” feel.

And ready for the best part?  The price!!! Only $18.50 for the white and $19.50 for the black – that for two per package!

It’s the perfect undershirt at a more than perfect price."

"I received my order yesterday of two L v-neck t-shirts. I am pleased with them. I like that they are form fitting and are long. I have a couple of suggestions. I can see how the shirt would be perfect for an undershirt. As a shirt on its own, it's good but could be a little better. You could offer two types of shirts. One that's strictly an undershirt, the current one. Then offer a version that is about an ounce heavier and a little bit shorter. Overall, I am happy with the shirts and would order again."

"My husband told me he loves them! He said the snug fit is comfortable and does not bunch up or ride up when he moves his arms. RibbedTee, you have a hit on your hands!"
- Jamie (Successful Style & Image Review)

“What a great product! My order came in fast and with no problems and the shirts fit very well and feel awesome!  I’m going to get some more…"
- Stephan (Atlanta)

"I wore a RibbedTee to a job interview the other day. I was really, really impressed with how comfortable it was. The fabric is really soft."
- Anthony (California)

"This shirt's moisture wicking capabilities are great! It breathed just as good, if not better than any of my ribbed tank tops. RibbedTee is an amazing idea and it blows me away that no one has ever thought about manufacturing a ribbed undershirt before!"
- Tom (California)

"Fast Shipping. Great Customer Service. Awesome Product. All I can say is --- WOW! Nice work RibbedTee."
- Andrew (New York)

"My husband wore the v-neck yesterday and he felt "like he had nothing on underneath".  He loved that it did not bunch up.  He has never worn a ribbed undershirt before and he loved the comfort and the way the undershirt hugged his body."
- Jill (Ohio)

"I tried RibbedTee because I've always had a problem with a tee being too tight around my neck and arms. The RibbedTee actually fits my shoulders and arms much better and more comfortably than a regular tee. My job causes me to twist, bend and stretch and the fabric in RibbedTee moves with me without pinching or bunching like the others. My chest is larger than average for my size and I have a hairier body, but the ribbing on the RibbedTee shirt seems to allow for freer movement. Apparently, the ribbing also allows better cooling and distribution when I perspire and "wicks" away more moisture than other shirts. I find myself wearing the RibbedTee now after not wearing tee shirts for over 15 years""

"Unbelievable. I read through your response and was awestruck. I forwarded it to my girlfriend because I knew she would never believe that an online retailer could have such amazing customer service (we have had bad luck with such things...). Even more impressive was that the replacement shirts arrived within days. It was 100% my fault for not double checking my order and requesting the wrong size. But you guys understand the value of treating a customer right.

As if customer service was not enough, you nailed it with an awesome product. I love the fit and style of the shirt...it's perfect for a guy like me (6'4", 240 lbs) with a long torso. This shirt does not bunch up on me when I tuck it in and is stylish enough to wear alone. Normally I struggle with wide shirts that barely reach my belt line.

I agree with another reviewer that additional colors would be great (perhaps at that point, stop selling them in quantities of two). In the meantime, I expect to order another 3-5 sets in the upcoming weeks.

Thanks again for treating me so well. And I love your product."

"I thought I'd take a few minutes to tell you how much I love the RibbedTee! I feel like these RibbedTees were designed for me. I'm a pretty big guy (6'2", 275lbs), an ex football player turned business man. I'm often concerned about sweating through my clothes and walking around with embarrassing sweat marks. I have been wearing the old (wife beater) muscle tee for years because I love the fabric, but with dress shirts I like a full tee shirt, sometimes a crew and sometimes a Vneck. You've nailed it with these first two designs and the black and white. I'd like to see a beige color at some point to wear with earth toned clothes. Keep up the good work! Folks are going to love RibbedTee!"

"I loved the undershirts i ordered and will be ordering again very soon as well as several times in the future! I'm thrilled to find them..."

"Wow, I have to say that these undershirts fit great and are REALLY comfortable..."
- Frank (California)

"First of all, AWESOME product!"
