Loved the styling, color, and fabric. But for me, too heavy for hot weather. I exchanged it for the Capilene Cool Daily (which is incredibly comfortable, and as advertised, cool).
I really like the material on this, but the color on the green is more muted than in the picture, and more importantly, it runs easily a full size big. The "relaxed fit" fits me like a dress, but you're very big or tall, it might be a good cut
This T-shirt fits better than any other T-shirt I have ever worn. Patagonia's workwear runs long, which is helpful for me as typically a M size is too short, while a L size is too wide. If you are tall and lanky, this shirt will fit you quite well. The material is abrasion resistant and only gets more comfortable each wash. Despite being a hea... Read Morevy-weight T-shirt, it is incredibly breathable as well. I cannot recommend enough.
I work in a kitchen and it gets VERY hot and I get VERY sweaty. I used to use cotton or cotton/nylon fabrics until last Summer I decided to try this shirt. I was concerned if this heavier shirt would be too hot. It's thicker and it insulates. But after a year of wearing these shirts, what I was very pleased with is what I call the "sweat ... Read Moremanagement" of this shirt. Which no other shirt I have ever owned has this. It seems like with the other shirts I once wore, they would trap the sweat against my body and actually prevent evaporation, which is what my body needs to cool down, and at the same time, not FREEZE when I stepped into the walk-in cooler. I would often feel beads of sweat slide down my back, which never happened wearing this Patagonia shirt. My body was always wet, and whenever I stepped into the walk-in cooler, or even into the well air conditioned dining areas, my body would feel very cold and clammy. VERY uncomfortable. Sweating heavily would feel very uncomfortable in those shirts no matter where I was. That's where this shirt shines. This shirt soaks up all your sweat and evaporates it very nicely. The shirt does get wet in areas I have my apron on, but it's not uncomfortable or clammy at all. If I am sweating buckets in the hot kitchen and then have to spend a few minutes in the walk-in cooler, the shirt actually STILL insulates. I don't feel that SHOCKING clammy cold. I have bought 14 of these shirts over a year's time and going back to other shirts is always an eye-opener to the benefits of wearing a shirt such as this in the kitchen. This is THE shirt to have if you work in a HOT environment. This shirt is the best sweat management I have ever worn, which in turn, makes it the most comfortable work shirt I have ever worn. ----- This shirt new fits a LOT more smaller than after wearing and washing it a lot. I got the XXL which starts out snug but I can grab it and stretch it out and it stays stretched out, and after many uses it drapes over me quite well. I like the shorter/higher-up sleeves. It is (and especially after many uses) a very long shirt that goes down below my buttocks (I am 6') But I like that. I pretty much like everything about the shirt. I blew out the pockets on a few of them because I wore a heavy, skinny 6" flashlight in them on a regular basis. I threw away that flashlight and went with another one because of that. NOT the shirt's fault. I wish they came in a dark green and a black. Patagonia would get a lot more sales out of me if they did. I have the blue, grey and brown. My favorite? The brown.
Fantastic t-shirts. The fabric has taken a beating, but doesn't show any holes or tares in over a year of hard abuse. While the material is a bit on the heavy side, it breaths very well and I haven't noticed myself being too hot in it.
Thanks for your feedback Terence! These shirts are built to be super sturdy and thick. You might prefer the [Men's Organic Cotton Midweight Pocket Tee](https://www.patagonia.com/product/mens-organic-cotton-midweight-pocket-tee/52370.html).

Awesome heavy duty work t shirt
This is a great work t shirt. It does run large but that is a good thing in a work shirt. It is heavy duty and holds up well under extreme conditions. Having the pocket is great also and the perfect size pocket.
I finally found a pocket tee that fit great, very rugged and holds up to many washings. Hardly any shrinkage. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking for an everyday tee shirt for work and play.
Im 60 195lbs with a 40-42 chest and athletic/balanced build. I usually wear a large in Patagonia, but I sized down to medium. The shirt runs a bit long and is baggy, and I even considered sizing down further to a small, but I like the relaxed fit, so Ill likely stick with the medium. The shirt is slightly scratchy, but it doesnt bother me and it sh... Read Moreould fade.. Overall, Imhappy with the the purchase!
Best tees so far! Best mix of toughness and softness. I bought two a few years ago and I wear them in the shop. They still look almost new. A little warm during summer outside for me so I wear them mostly in the others seasons.
Super comfortable much more so than pure cotton. Fits great, very comfy love the pocket for glasses. I purchased every color after trying out. I wish they had more colors available.
My new favorite t-shirt. Wear it every excuse I get. Gets softer with washes. Runs slightly large and long which I don't mind. Normally I buy Larges but after reading some reviews I went with a Medium and that was the right choice.
I have 6 of the short sleeve work pocket tees, & 6 of the long sleeve work pocket tees. The organic fabric is very soft against the skin, & Patagonia's
fit always seems to work well for me (I've been buying Patagonia since they were Great Pacific Ironworks. Fabric is thick & warm; I love these tees.
I'm 6' 195lb, have a 45" chest. I take an XL in most brands and in Patagonia a large usually just fits me. This shirt runs a size big, I had to go to a medium to get a fit like my usual Patagonia large. Can't think of any other item in which I could wear a medium.
Shirt is soft and very heavy. I was curious and weighed it. At ne... Read Morearly 12 oz, it's double the weight of my J Crew Cotton Tees and my Smartwool Tees. I didn't find the material scratchy like some others did, very soft and comfy. The only downside is that it takes a long time to dry. It was still slightly damp after 60 min in the dryer, where my other cotton tees dry in about 30 min. Maybe that's due to the hemp fiber? So I'd say it's a great T for casual wear, but too heavy and slow to dry for hiking, running, etc.
I love Patagonia. I bought 2 of these thinking theyd be soft and fit well like the other Patagonia stuff I have... they do not. Very rough texture, very cheap feel... its disappointing. Sad to say these will be donated rather than worn.
Hi Aaron, we're really sorry this shirt ended up feeling too scratchy. Please note that your satisfaction is guaranteed and you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) the shirt under warranty.

These shirts are perfect.
Just want to say these are my favorite tee shirts period. Similar in fit to other workwear companies but with a softer feel, appropriately short sleeves, and relentless durability. Just checked and I have 8 of these shirts right now. They've held up great with washing and stains seem to wash right out of the hemp fabric. Honestly I'd have...

Super comfortable and breathable material that isnt too heavy feeling. Its very minimalistic while also keeping true to the Patagonia branding with a subtle patch. I love every bit of this shirt and the styling is spot on with my taste.
First time I ordered this shirt I ordered medium. Fit me very baggy. Decided to go with a small the second time. Medium was big and comfy, and the small fit like a regular Patagonia medium. For this shirt specifically Ill continue to order small. Its light, breathable, and the solids rock.

Great shirt and love the durable material but the fit is huge compared to all other shirts Ive purchased. Not even close to normal fit for a size small.

Comfortable fit
Surprisingly comfortable. Nice break from technical Ts.
I bought another one for myself and one of the womans shirts for my girlfriend about 5 minutes after I tried it on. Theyve held up great so far. Fits just like the other work shirts I have. Absolutely love the material. I Highly highly recommend.
I work in a kitchen and I have been buying all kinds of different shirts to try out at work. I love the fit. The arm length is perfect. Very comfortable. At first I was concerned with how long this shirt is. I don't know what it is with Hemp shirts, I have owned a few from a long time ago, and they are all pretty darn long, but I have come to ... Read Moreactually like how it's long. I can tuck it in and pull it out to get a very comfortable hang to it. I probably could do fine with an XL, but I prefer my shirts roomy. And it looks great. I was also concerned with how well it would perform with the extreme heat of the kitchen, and this shirt shines in that department. This fabric can be a good insulator(to a degree) under a jacket, but in the heat this shirt whisks away sweat very well. My old cotton work shirts would leave me wearing a soaked shirt. All it takes is the slightest breeze, like you get from just walking. When I am sweating and walk from one room to another, I can feel the coolness from my sweat evaporating very quickly and I can feel the air cut right through the shirt. Very impressed with it. Also it doesn't stain easy and it doesn't smell after a long hot day in the kitchen, which is everything I need in a work shirt. I started out buying 1, and have since ordered 7 more (for my days off too). Wish it came in black.
I am very satisfied with the fit and the weight of the material. I did read the reviews and ordered the medium rather than a large which is my normal size.
After buying two of these shirts when they were first available I purchased more so I could wear one daily. The reason? Durability. Mine have not lost their shape and the color remains pretty much intact. I am a fan of something I do not need to replace annually and these meet that standard.
1. Thank you Patagonia for offering 3XL sizing. Us tall, big shouldered guys love it!
2. This is shirt is such a comfort to wear when your body is tired of the tech fiber feel. Your body just sighs in relief as it goes on. Lol
3. Very comfortable feel and fit. Relaxed, youre-not-so-vain, fit and drape.

5. Had for over a year...get better with every washing and no noticeable shrinkage. Hold up well
I had a coupon, so I originally just bought one of these shirts. Ended up buying two more a month later. These are legit the best t-shirts I have ever owned. It's only two months in, but they have held up well. I use them for work, laying around, and have also used them for going out on the town.

I’m usually spot on with fittings with Patagonia. Large’s are usually perfect.
With this shirt - forget about it. The large is an extra large. Pretty lame.

The most impressive thing about these shirts is their durability. After a year of use on job sites, they look as good as day one. The other day I snagged on a piece of sheet metal and cursed what I thought was going to be a big tear. Not so! Not even a loose thread.
Keep making these forever, please!
This shirt is made of extremely durable material. It does fit larger than your normal size however still great shirt. I get the feeling this shirt will keep it's high quality look for many years. Great product
I'd give it 5 stars but there's one issue. The sizing is a little wonky. It runs really large over what I expected. It could be that 'work shirts' are just sized differently. I nearly always where medium tees for fitted cut (would otherwise be LG or LG short when possible for a normal cut/fit). So I ordered M anyway. This thing ... Read Moremay be an actual XL. Kind of a bummer. I wear it anyway, just look like a kook. Ha!
Otherwise, the quality and thickness of the knit, the softness/feel, and the quality of the stitching is on point.
Potential buyers: size down for a normal fit. I definitely should've ordered a SM instead of a M.

Hi Logan! Thank you for your feedback! This style features a relaxed fit, which is why it has a larger cut in comparison to other Patagonia items.

Best work shirts
Unlike other shirts, these are sized properly and feel really good
Soft comfortable, looks good though in any setting. Hard to find for a big guy (bought these for someone else, their comments) 5th purchase, first long sleeve! Thank you carrying 3X.
I purchased one of these tees to start and ended up buying 2 more. I bought a size small and after one run in the dryer, it fit me just as I wanted. Highly recommend.
To be honest, I was intrigued by the idea of wearing a shirt made from hemp. So I bought two size small Ms Work Pocket Tee shirts in different colors and gave it a try. So far, I am very pleased with the colors and the fit of the shirts. Keep up the good work!

I have purchased several of these at different times (both LS & SS) and will probably add a few more. I am a bigger guy & like the relaxed fit of these shirts.

Will be keeping a lookout for new colors...
Very comfortable environmentally friendly blend of hemp and cotton, appears durable but the sizing is significantly different from other products. AT 5-8 150 lbs a medium typically fits fine but a small is more than roomy enough in this case. Good for casual activity, hiking etc.
Great shirt, very comfortable and I like that it fits a bit looser. Patagonia clothes tend to be sized for 90 lb hippie yoga teachers who eat seeds and roots for meals. I was very happy to find some clothing sized for husky bee keepers with real muscles.
The Patagonia Mens Working T-shirt is very heavy and rugged, yet it feels very comfortable on the skin. Overall just feels like a quality shirt. I would highly recommend getting a size smaller than you usually get because this shirt is HUGE
Avoid frustration and enjoy this very comfortable and hearty shirt by sizing down a size. I'm your standard medium slim and a small fit me like a standard fit medium does. Hemp rocks, buy hemp.
I bought a couple of these shirts before in XL and they ran a little so, I bought them again but in large this time. The large is somehow bigger than the XL was!! I like these shirts but the sizing is very strange
We are very sorry to hear about the troubles with sizing on these and appreciate that feedback. We've reached out to you with some information on [returns](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html#searchterm=return) so we can help you get these back to us.

Ok, so looking like a model takes more than a good shirt but these do look good right out of the package. Yes multiple washings will fade a little of the color but I wear them almost daily.

If you like your t shirts skin tight, probably not the way to go, but I leave at the beach & this is just what the doctor ordered!
Typically T-shirts these days are pocketless. The pocket on a T-Shirt is a huge advantage. There is a limitless number of things it can be used for...small tools, cell phone, pen, i.d., cash, glasses, you name it.

Too Big
Husband is 6’2 medium build and the shirt was way too large. It was too long, too boxy, didn’t fit at all. Ordered size large and it looked like a XXL
Sorry to hear that the shirt was too big for your husband, Audrey! You are welcome to return it for either a [refund or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html). Feel free to reach out to us and we would be happy to help.
Material of shirt is a nice thick fabric, can tell it will hold up for an extended time, but the sizing is very large. I’m 6’0”, 190 lbs and normally wear large and am swimming in these shirts. Would definitely recommend sizing down.
This shirt is worthy of replacing all of my favorite, broken-in t-shirts from college (10+ years ago). It has this heavy, durable fabric that just sits on you. It's soft and comforting. It's amazing.

My wife wishes that they had it in woman's sizes. It has plenty of room, no need to size up.
This shirt definitely runs big. I purchased the shirt and was disappointed by the size - usually I'm a medium in all other Patagonia clothes but I would've needed to get a small to get the fit right. I'm about 5'11, 165 and lean build for reference - so if you're around this size you are definitely going to have to go small... Read Moreer if you are just looking for a casual fit.
This is a "work" shirt, so I guess it makes sense why it would run big, but I was not prepared for this discovery. The sleeves themselves fit very nicely on me and aren't loose, hence the two star rating, but the shirt runs very long - if you like a long, baggy shirt - this one is for you, but otherwise I'm not necessarily thrilled by my purchase. Usually I don't leave reviews on clothing sites, but I want to make sure I help somebody else out who is looking at this shirt.
I would love to support the Workwear line, but there is no X-small in nearly any of the products. As per usual the fit seemed to grow because it is workwear. Small people do labor, too. Make this line in X-small.
I’m 6ft, 165/170lbs with a slimmer athletic build and Size medium fits just right on me. I put runs big because if I would’ve gotten a size large which is what I normally wear it would have been way too big.
Overall, this shirt itself is great. The fabric is warm, breathable, and comfy. Love the yellow color, and also bought other colors.

Read Morehe fit is slightly baggy, at least for me, but actually it isn't that bad. Personally I'm used to wearing "snug/ slimmer" fit shirts because I'm in the middle of skinny and "buff" so I don't like baggy, so this was a little on the baggi-er side but still looks great.
So in short. What I reccomend is if you are skinny skinny, this shirt might not be for you since there is not a xs size, but I'm sure it works for other guys. Depends
Feel and weight of the shirt are great. Has good feel. But this sizing is wacky. I am small in other pattagonia shirts, but the small shirt is 2" larger and BIG on me. Bummer there is no XS as now I can't support the hemp movement... Sizing needs to be check
This shirt is awesome from the fit to the feel of the material against your skin to how tough this puppy is . I Purchased two of the shirts when they first came out and fell in love with them just got my third.

One thing I do have to say is how well the shirts do in the washing machine and in the dryer. I don’t know if it has to do with the hemp/cotton blend or the weave of the shirt. Over quite a few wash and dry cycles I can see zero shrinkage in the two original shirts I purchased compared to the one I just received.
Just perfect
Bought this shirt in every color! Great fit for me and super comfortable! Can you please make these in many more colors??!! Like a washed black!! Pretty please
Thanks a million
Excellent quality work shirt. I purchased one in every color. Sized correctly however after a long day of hard sweaty labor, the material stretches a bit. Highly recommend and will purchase again.
