You guys ruined the perfect shirt you had in the 100410. I've been wearing my old 100410s for 3+ years now waiting for you to bring them back. I even spoke online with a customer service rep in early 2023 and they told me they were bringing them back in May of that year. Well, here we are over a year later and still nothing. My formerly black 100410s are an ash gray now with all sorts of holes, grease, etc on them and they're still my preferred choice over your new version of the Force t-shirts. Listen to your customers! This is a 100% real life review from a normal dude living and working in Milwaukee, WI. Bring back the 100410 as it was, do not change one thing. Same cut, same fabric, same manufacturer, to a T. I promise you will sell thousands of them to guys ... MoreYou guys ruined the perfect shirt you had in the 100410.

Don't get me wrong, these shirts are classic Carhartt quality and comfort. Though, I don't understand why Carhartt feels the need to continually change the style of these Force pocket t-shirts. The original style of these, #100410 were, and still are the best. The fit was more true to size, and the length was just right. Those have been closed out,(ugh). I get the fact that in the clothing business, new ideas and improvements are a good thing. But don't close out a style if it still sells. I bought 2 of these new ones. Had to size down from my regular size. The length extends down past my pants pockets. These are obviously made for tucking in. I can't remember the last time I tucked in a t-shirt. Though, I do like the improvement of the front pocket. I would bet ... MoreDon't get me wrong, these shirts are classic Carhartt quality and comfort.

These were from a gift email from my duaghter. I wouldn't buy such an expensive t-shirt with its logo prominently on the shirt...I don't advertise for free, unless I really support the cause, and making lots of money isnt a charitable cause...That said, its a comfortable t-shirt that does help to keep me cool as I work outside through the summer. I always buy pocket tees, but I seldom carry pens and pencils in them (they tend to get caught on things and stretch the shirt), only small items, so the pencil pocket separation makes the larger pocket part too small to get my fingers in to grab a screw or small part I'd stored there for a moment. The slight elasticity makes the shirt look nice, unless you're wanting to conceal something (belly, boobs, gun, etc.) but it ... MoreThese were from a gift email from my duaghter.

The slight elasticity makes the shirt look nice, unless you're wanting to conceal something (belly, boobs, gun, etc.) but it also decreases the cotton's wicking ability, so you stay damp slightly longer. It also seems to make the shirt a little cooler in the winter, so a better overshirt is advised for colder areas. The shirt's length could be longer to stay tucked better (some of us still wants to appear slightly presentable, even in a t-shirt). Overall, 3.5 of 5, so I gave it a 4. Would I buy them? Probably not, but they were a nice gift from my daughter.

I own several of these shirts in various colors. They are tough and comfortable, true to size without being tight or loose fitting, but they are warm. The polyester blend manages moisture ok, but I wouldn't classify this as a hot weather t-shirt. They make a great cool weather tee for layering under another shirt, as a base layer or as a stand-alone in 60-70 degree weather. This one was a good deal on sale with my loyalty points and Veteran's discount, but the color is more of an 80's-era teal than the light blue color pictured. Not thrilled with the color, but it'll pass for the price I paid. It's a work shirt. Also, the last few Carhartt orders I received, including this one, have arrived with a moldy smell in the plastic mailer which transferred to the items. ... MoreI own several of these shirts in various colors.

It's been humid here in the NE this summer, so maybe the mailers got damp and hence the smell, but it should be addressed by the company. The smell washed out of the items fairly easily.

I've gotten these shirts in almost every color for years now and wear them into the ground. I recently got another two in navy blue and grey and every single thing about the shirt has changed. The blue fits roughly as expected, but it's as if the grey is an entirely different size altogether; not consistent at all. The material's changed entirely, it's soft and comfortable, sure, but I'm only three washes in and this thing is falling apart. Gone is the durability that I've loved and purchased these for. Several new threads start pulling every time I wear them and it's already starting to affect the look and stitching. The printed tag inside the collar is already peeling off letter-by-letter too. They've cheapened a great work shirt into something that feels like it ... MoreI've gotten these shirts in almost every color for years now and wear them into the ground.

Incredibly disappointed in what's happened to what used to be my favorite line of shirts.
Carhartt makes great stuff, why the 3 stars then. Well every time i find a shirt i like i buy a few, when they wear out i go back to the same store to buy more and they have similar t-shirts. Well they are just that similar, NOT the same. A great t-shirt for me was the TK4616-M model, it was light weight, dried quick and fit great. Now the same size but TK6652-M does not dry fast (mainly cotton), does not fit the same (big and baggy) and is heavier in weight. In Texas, in the summer, weight matters, and with this new shirt you are going to feel the difference. You never really know what you will get, in a few months this one i just bought will be replaced with something else. That being said this latest model I bought is not my favorite.

Not the Carhartt Force shirts from a couple of years ago. The neck is way too wide. You need a body builder's neck to fill most of the neck opening, and the shirts are way too long now. The neck actually keeps stretching getting wider and looks ridiculous and shows your bare shoulders. Another thing is some of them fray after the first wash, and all of them after the 2nd or 3rd wash. I 've tried gentle cycle, very little soap, all the tricks that supposedly keep clothing from fraying for a long time, but no luck. These newer Force shirt are apparently made cheaper and def. not as good as the old ones.
