Carhartt Men's Force Midweight Waffle Base Layer Crewneck Top

The fit of the shirt is perfect; this is the happy medium between loose fitting and skin-tight clothing. I'm wearing a medium size, and I'm 5'9" tall, 165 lb, 39" chest, 32" waist for reference. I was worried that the shirt was polyester and NOT cotton. A lot of polyester clothing has a tacky shininess to it. However, if you see this in real life, and maybe you can tell from the pictures, but it looks like it can pass for cotton. The shirt is pretty low friction, and combine that with the thumb loops, and it makes it really easy to slip outerwear on top. The thumb loops are stretchy/elastic, and they retract back into the sleeve when not in use. In terms of looks and fashion, the shirt exudes a simple, no-nonsense, clean dad sort of look. The seams look nice and add character to an otherwise plain shirt. One important thing to note is that there are two VERY DIFFERENT styles to choose from: the square waffles, and the diamond waffles. The negative reviews all seem to stem from the diamond patterned waffles. The one I have on is the square patterned waffles. The one thing people have been saying negatively about this thermal, and it's true, is that the cloth is relatively thin and lightweight. However, it still somehow does a surprisingly good job of keeping warm air in and cold air out. I've tested this outdoors while running, and while my hands were getting numb from the cold, I was still warm. I'll update this review later if the shirt gets any wear and tear over time.

Excellent product and worth every dime you spend! Very warm and does not irritate my skin. A good fit as well. Two suggestions...1. laundering information and 2. put a small pocket on the chest area. Other than that, I am very pleased with this purchase.

Shirt holds up with tree climber. No snags, good material and perfect fit.

It’s nice and comfortable, just make sure to size up

Carhartt, they never fail you

Fantastic shirt. Bought several for Christmas gifts and they are a great value for the money. The fit is snug but true to size and they are extremely comfy. Highly recommend this product.

First, I've tried to attach a few pics to generally show what the fit is like -- a little loose for a thermal layer but in a comfortable way while still being plenty warm. I'm built a little big right now, and please forgive the blur, it was tough to get a good angle and take a pic the shirt on myself. That said, I also included two pics, flash and without, to show the waffle pattern. I saw a few reviews which mentioned that this shirt no longer was shipping with with waffle pattern and instead some cheap poly-based material. This is false, at least for the black one I ordered. This is by far the most comfortable base layer shirt I've ever owned, I want to wear this all day, every day. The only reason I haven't gone back and bought literally five more of these is because I'm in the process of loosing weight and not sure if I'll still be an XL or go down to an L when I'm finished. Otherwise, if you're looking at this shirt, just buy the damn thing. The fit, material, quality of build, price for what you get... everything I could comment on is 10/10. One of my favorite shirts in my wardrobe, and will be buying enough for me to wear one every day of the week once I get down to my weight goal. LOVE THIS SHIRT!

Fits great thumb holes help stop sleeves from riding up got the 2x tall so it could stay tucked perfect length Extremely comfortable not super warm tho great to layer with

I’m 5’10” and 14st. So definitely not waif like. I originally bought size large as all my clothes are size large. Exchanged for medium as large was too big. Also bought another one as it’s a really good quality warm and comfortable base layer. I wear this with a Buffalo special 6 outer layer and am good on a dog walk to about 2° C.

Fits true to size, works great 👍🏼

This is for my partner to use while riding an ebike in the colder weather.

Husband works outside this is brilliant for him

I find them to be a little bit short in the sleeves but otherwise as expected. A good medium base layer.
