It consists of 95% cotton and 5% elastane. This means that it is extensible of the elastane. It also absorbs moisture very well (eg sweat during sports) and it dries very quickly after washing, even with me on the clothesline outside. Since we do not have a dryer, I can not judge whether it would survive him, but according to fabric care symbol, it is anyway not suitable for drying in the dryer. Ironing is allowed, in my opinion, thanks to the material but not necessary.
Can you wash it according to the manufacturer in the washing machine at 30 ° C. I have the first wash cycle already behind me, but I always wash my textiles at 40 ° C and that has survived the shirt easily. It has retained its shape even after washing and is not running. Moreover, it has not (yet?) No gray haze.
Ever the shirt seems to be very well made, because there is no hanging threads around and there are also no seams solved.
The fit is good. I have the T-shirt in size XXL ordered and it suits me very well, without are unpleasant. Since it is something stretchy, should be with the fit really have no problems, because in case of need it is stretched a bit when worn).
The fabric is indeed opaque, in my opinion, but should be a bit thicker. The T-shirt costs currently (11.07.2014) almost 13 euros and for that price you would in my opinion, still can use a somewhat denser woven fabric. But that's a matter of opinion, and one acquires definitely simple, functional (for the sport suitable) Basic white-shirt for men.
