My husband loves these shirts, wears them all the time even to church as they are a dressy looking t-shirt. (I'm picky so if they didn't look nice, he would be wearing something else to church) I have purchased several different colors, they never fade, and retain their shape. I had to replace one color as he didn't remove his shirt when he was adjusting the bike seat on my bike, he ended up getting bike grease on a sleeve and I tried everything to get it out...color did not fade even with all the tries, in fact I had to mark the shirt, so he knows it's a work shirt now instead of a Sunday shirt. :)
