Enkalda Men's Premium Heavyweight Crew Neck T-Shirt

I NEVER write reviews but these were a BIG disappointment & hope to help others avoid finding themselves in the same predicament.I'm not the type to pay to advertise for companies I know nothing about/don't believe in, nor am I the flashy "look at me" type so I prefer no logos or as little as possible on my clothing. I found these shirts 7-8 years ago & they quickly became my favorite brand, the only brand I bought for that time period actually. I LOVED them. Truly heavy weight, well made & didn't shrink (I wash cold then hang dry). Summer of 2017 I was in need of some new shirts so I ordered 9 total, short & long sleeve. When they arrived I immediately noticed the weight & thickness differences but remained optimistic. Within the first few washes, I noticed some shrinkage but wasn't too bad. After approximately 8 washes, a few were too small & were hugging my muffin top. Within a month I started noticing holes towards the bottom on the front & rear of the shirts. Shortly thereafter, the stitching in multiple areas started coming undone, armpit area was the worse.I sent the company an email asking if they had any of the OG (Original) shirts left on a back shelf somewhere, politely/respectfully stated my issues with the new version but never heard back.I have been on the hunt for a decent replacement ever since with moderate luck. Brands Shaka & Pro Club are holding up pretty well after the first few months though 2 of the Shaka (ordered 5 so far) shirts I received so far varied in size. One was too small to wear out of the package. All XL Tall.So if you were familiar with this brand before the change, BE WARNED. They are not the same animal by a LONG shot. Easy way to differentiate(other than weight/thickness), OG version had tags. The BG(new) version is tag-less. If you're new to the brand & you want to give them a try, I suggest buying ONE to try it out & DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER OR USE WARM/HOT WATER! Did a test on one of the shirts I gave up on & it shrunk at least 2 sizes with warm water & low heat setting on the dryer.Good luck!

These have become OK shirts, at best. Just OK. They USED TO BE great, but Enkalda has been transitioning to a lighter fabric. The latest order of 4 shirts were very disappointing. I have bought dozens of these over the years just because they WERE a super heavy duty cotton, very thick and comfortable. Now, they are no heavier than a standard Walmart cotton shirt, and they aren't worth the price. The sturdiness has declined as of late, and I have seams that come apart, but they were still worth the price for the heavy weight, I could sew them back together and my sewing lasts longer anyway. The light weight cotton is inexcusable. I won't be ordering anymore. Poor sewing, MUCH lighter weight, but the same higher price? No thanks.

I am super picky about my tee shirts...especially when it comes to the neck. I need tee shirts that have a strong neck that keeps it's shape and doesn't sag. These are amazing. I get the longs, so they stay tucked in with my uniforms. They're good and heavy and the body isn't baggy.

These are great, high quality t-shirts. Everything nowadays is dri-fit athletic material that is about as thick as pantyhose and clings to my dad bod. These are well made cotton t-shirts with just the right thickness. The best feature in my opinion is the neck. I hate loose, stretched out necks in my shirts. These are tight and snug and keep their shape over time. Not so tight that they choke you but just right and very comfortable. I am 6'3" and around 200 lbs with a slim build. I wear the XL tall. Right out of the package it is a tad big but after a few washings it is perfect. They will shrink a little bit but not much. I own several in short sleeve and long sleeve and the sizing and quality seems pretty consistent. I've even taken a couple down to my local screen printing shop and had our school logo put on them so I have a quality t-shirt to wear to my kids games. Overall a great shirt.

I usually wear 2X tall, so that is what I ordered. The shirt was a bit snug when I first put it on but it stretched enough after wearing to be super comfortable.The neck design and heavyweight cotton allows it to work under a sport coat in a business casual setting.The ‘tall’ sizes allow ample length to tuck into slacks without pulling out.I am going to order a few more of these, but go up to a 3X tall just to allow a bit more room in the shoulders. Very nice.

This T-shirt was exactly what I have been looking for. The fit is right, the neck what I wanted – small but not to small, and the weight is perfect (I didn't want a T-shirt that was really light like I might wear under a dress shirt nor did I want one that was so thick and heavy I wouldn't want to wear it in the summer). And it didn't seem to shrink at all, at least that I could tell. I ended up purchasing 3 more in different colors. I highly recommend.

It arrived and it looked like it had been poorly washed by a college kid with his RED Tshirts!! It was PINK tinged throughout. The white mailing envelope it came in was white, the Tshirt was not. Seems very heavy weight almost too much to be an undershirt but who knows - I couldn't try it on and am now in process of dealing with a mail return how annoying. Will update if I ever get resolution. If I went to a store I would not have had to waste this extra time.

Best t-shirt I have bought in years! The t-shirts in stores now are paper thin, crappy collars, about a foot too long (hangs down about to knees).These are thick material, don't wrinkle and have a super nice collar that is not all stretched out of shape like the cheaper t-shirts. Looks great with or without a shirt. Just the right length too. A+ My only wish was that they made them just a tad larger. I wear XL and these are just a tiny bit tight, but some XL's in other brands fit like a bag - so I think this is just fine.

Good quality shirt. Very thick so it doesn't stretch very much, which might not be ideal if you'd like the shirt to have a bit of give when you wear it. Was disappointed that the width of the medium shirt was actually that of the large shirt measurements. Had I known that, I would have ordered the small (assuming it's width is closer to the medium measurements).

The T-shirts fit well and are made of quality material. I am 5'9" and 185 lbs and ordered Large Tall.

Collar was not as shown in the picture. Thin materiel. Took so long to ship that I had forgotten about the order.

Certainly doesn’t look like the shirts as advertised.The crew neck look is not what I have but rather a T-Shirt look.
