They're not perfect but they're a good everyday shirt

for clarification, the dry-package t-shirts are a poly/cotton blend and are different from both the normal cotton and premium cotton t-shirts. all 3 types of plain color t-shirts that have recently (~past year) been available in the u.s. have different fabrics and fits. for a long time (since opening until recently) the american webstore only had the dry-package ones. i browsed the other day though and amongst all the dry-package they have one thumbnail for premium cotton ones now. here's the link: http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-premium-cotton-crew-neck-short-sleeve-t-shirt/075886-74-005
^^that's what i was talking about earlier. those pictures obviously show no center seam, so i assume the new premium cotton t-shirts are different from the old ones. i ordered 2 pairs (sized up from m to l) that should get here wednesday so i'll let everyone know what i think. i still have last year's premium cotton to compare them with.

in the past it was like this: regular cotton fit normal, premium cotton fit slim, and dry-package fit large. i've always liked the normal cotton ones best. the cotton isn't as soft as the premium, but it's good enough and i kind of like how thin it is. i think the dry-package fit pretty well, though a bit too loose for my liking. i went tts (m) and it fits somewhere between an m and l, probably closer to the latter. the fabric sucks though - thick and not nearly as soft as either of the cotton ones.

also, if you live outside the u.s., it's probably best not to not give your opinion on this. as i said before, the cotton t-shirts i bought in london and paris were different from the ones i've gotten in the u.s. compared to the normal u.s. cotton ones, the fabric was thicker and a bit softer (but not as soft as premium) and pills more quickly/easily. they also fit a bit slimmer though again not as slim as the premium cotton ones. afaik, the dry-package ones are the same though.

ok, that's more than i wanted to say about their t-shirts.
