RibbedTee Men's Undershirt Review - Real Men Real Style
Hello. My name is Antonio Centeno, and I'm the founder of Real Men Real Style. And today
I'm going to be talking about RibbedTee undershirts.
Now, I feel good about doing this review because I have owned four RibbedTee shirts since Michael
Schwarz over at RibbedTee sent these to me approximately, over a year ago. They have
become my favorite undershirts. So, he only sent me four. And I wear these four undershirts
more than I wear any other undershirt in my wardrobe.
In fact, I think the true testament of these being a great undershirt, to the quality,
to the fit, to the comfort is that I'm always looking for them. And in fact, if I run out
and if all four of those undershirts are dirty, I will go down and actually do laundry, so
that I have those undershirts.
I probably just need to purchase more. Like many things, I just haven't gotten around
to it. But today, I am going to be, you know, I am a living, breathing testimonial to Michael
and his product.
But let me talk a little about RibbedTee. So, I've known about the company now for
a couple of years. When it first came up on my radar, I was checking them out. I thought
they had a very innovative approach. And a person that was used to buying undershirts
at, you know, in packages of three. Getting the Hanes pretty much undershirts for three
for 10 bucks, I wasn't going to pay close to $10 for a single undershirt. I thought
that that was just too expensive.
I met Michael through mutual friends. And he started telling me about just the quality
of his undershirt and really the unique pitch with his undershirt. And the story behind
it is he loved well, really, that he loved the feel of the undershirts, you know. Typically,
the wife-beaters as what they're called, which they don't have don't the arm. And
he loved the fit and the way that you had the ribbed cotton. And he was wondering why
couldn't get that in an undershirt.
So, like any good entrepreneur who faces a problem, he said, Well, I'll just come
up with a solution. And he did. And that's what the really the RibbedTee product is.
If you can imagine the texture and the feel of a wife beater, increase the quality and
then build out an undershirt that actually goes out and covers extends out past the
arm.
And so, let me talk about the three points that really impressed me with these undershirts.
First, it's the quality of the built. Like I said, I have owned these undershirts for
over a year. I've washed them, probably, each of them, I washed anywhere from 30 to
50 times. I am not kidding you. I have hand washed these.
Usually, when I'll go on a trip, I will take two of these undershirts with me. And while
I'm wearing one, the one is sitting in the hotel every night. You know, I'll just hand
wash it, and have it there, you know, dried for me the next day.
So, I have run these undershirts through the wringer. Theyíve gone through my drier multiple
times. I have treated them like anything that is a hundred percent cotton. I know that it's
durable. But I didn't expect these undershirts to be as durable as they have been. None of
the seams have come out. And they have maintained their shape. And they've only gotten more
softer over time, so, the quality of these undershirts, very, very high quality.
The comfort level like I said, whenever I am looking for an undershirt, I am looking
for one of my Michael's RibbedTee undershirts. They are that comfortable. Compared with all
of the Hanes undershirts I used to own. The problem with the Hanes is that they're tight
and restrictive in certain areas.
Usually, for me I like to wear my undershirts a bit close. So, I'll buy size small and
right under the arms, they're pretty tight, a little bit going throughout the chest area.
They're a little bit too tight, even though I do like the fit in the shoulder and the
arm.
What I noticed with the RibbedTee undershirt and I'll pull up the black one here, so
you can see this one, is that all of it shapes to conform my body. And there are no tight
or no hot spots, which is a huge deal when you're wearing undershirt for, sometimes,
14, 16 hours a day. I know I've got pretty long days working. And I don't even I'm
just the undershirt I don't even notice it's there, which is pretty important to
clothing.
The last thing I want to talk about is the value price. Now, I say value price because
normally, I would not spend $10 for an undershirt. But then, you start to think about it. If
it's the only thing that I reach for and they primarily been the only undershirts I've
worn over the last year.
I mean, whenever I do grab one of my cheaper undershirts that cost me about a third as
much, I'm just not comfortable wearing it.
I don't like the way it doesn't hug me around the neck. I'm just it's something
that well, $10 is not a whole lot of money to pay for quality. Especially, if you could
probably get away with owning well, if you're not going to wash as much as me, I'll
probably advise owning, at least, six to ten. But once you make that, you're going to probably
have these for at least, one to two years, unless you lose them.
And to me that's a pretty strong value when it comes to a quality undershirt that you're
going to be very comfortable wearing. And is going to last you for years.
All right. That's my review of the RibbedTee classic undershirt. Again, a great undershirt
owned by Michael Schwarz and his wife. They've got a great company out there in Southern
California. And I highly advise that you purchase the shirt and support them.
Thank you. This is Antonio Centeno, with Real Men Real Style.
