Carhartt is a longtime favorite of farmers, construction workers, mechanics and anyone needing heavy-duty, durable workwear. The brand has successfully penetrated the sphere of digital fashion influence thanks to strategic branding and, according to its legions of loyal customers, its top-notch quality and timeless design.
Whether you shop for clothes at your local army-navy store, a scary-trendy boutique like SSENSE or simply Amazon, it’s likely you’ve come across one of the brand’s most emblematic products: a 100% heavyweight cotton, loose-fit men’s pocket T-shirt. As someone who buys these tees in bulk for various members of my family, I was delighted to see that they’re currently on sale at Amazon — for 25% off. It’s the lowest price we’ve seen in months, so you better act fast.
“This is the kind of shirt that becomes a favorite,” one wearer said. “Comfortable and strong. Lasts for years if you care for it.”
The tee is available in a wide selection of sizes and colors, with over 20 neutral and hi-vis hues in XS-5XL, including select tall sizes. With a 100% cotton fabrication, a ribbed crewneck, a side-seam construction that helps the shirt lay perfectly flat and a tag-free label, the tee is designed for maximum comfort and durability. Given that and its near-ubiquitous popularity, it’s safe to say that this shirt is likely to last a long time. It’s made from a thick cotton that feels good on, but is still breathable and comfortable to wear in the heat.
The shirt has an astonishing 90,781 5-star ratings on Amazon and an overall score of 4.6 stars. Reviewers call them “perfection,” “a must-have” and their “favorite.” “I only wear these, in different colors,” one said. “Going on ten years now.”
Ideal for layering, yard work, travel and or just lounging, it’s a versatile shirt that will never go out of style. Reviewers mention buying them in bulk, stocking up in multiple colors and even buying in bigger sizes to wear as sleep shirts or nightgowns. It’s the type of shirt that becomes a house favorite, with reviewers saying they’ve stolen some from their partners and make great gifts for hard-to-shop-for dads.

“I am 6′2 and 245lbs. XL fits me great, it ends 1 inch above the crotch and the length is right above the elbow. The width is enough for free movement without any restrictions. Also, I immediately ordered a few more t-shirts when I received the first one. Quality is over the top. This t-shirt is #1 on Amazon is deserved. I also have a few Dickies heavyweight t-shirts, and in my opinion Carhartt is over Dickies because of the fit. Dickies t-shirt has narrower and shorter sleeves, which is a disadvantage for me.” — Serhii Bushui
“These are thick t-shirts thar are perfect for my job. I work in construction and I’ve bought 3 different colors so far. I wear these every day for work. It’s surprisingly cooler than you’d think on a hot day and great for 70°-90° weather. They’re thick so there is less of a chance of damage to the fabric due to a snag on a nail or shingles. Worth the buy.” — Liz G.
“I have been buying this very shirt for my husband for many years. They fit as they should and don’t fade. My husband tends to get his shirts rather dirty; food or whatever. If the stain doesn’t come out with the first washing I apply Dawn dish soap, turn the shirt inside out - throw it in the washer (cold water) and they look like new. So my husband’s wardrobe is either these shirts or dress shirts. One last note - my husband wears 3XL tall so stores seldom had this size in stock which is why I started ordering them thru Amazon. Amazon almost always has this size in stock. In the rare case that they don’t, I get the shirts only a few days later. Very satisfied customer.” — Gwen B
“I love love LOVE these shirts. I bought a couple that were a size or two bigger and use them for sleep shirts. Probably my most favorite pjs or cleaning shirts.” — J Jones
“I’m a woman but I like to wear oversized men’s shirts on casual days. It is oversized as expected but it did shrink a bit after a wash, but not by much. It’s heavy and good quality. I wear it all the time and it hasn’t wore out.” — Angela
