RRL (Ralph Lauren)

The tee line leans on indigo-dyed slub cotton jersey that is rinsed so shirts arrive looking lived-in, and reviewers treat the continued fading with wear as the appeal rather than a flaw. Editorial roundups in both 2020 and 2024 picked the brand's indigo tee among the best in its class, citing strong fading potential for the money next to other top-end indigo tees. Forum owners rate the knit quality highly but often balk at paying full retail, and report that tees and henleys shrink somewhat with hot washing or drying, then relax back toward original size with wear.

Strengths

Slubby, irregular indigo-dyed jersey with genuine fade character and a broken-in feel out of the bag.

Watch out for

Hot washes and tumble drying cause temporary shrinkage, and owners widely consider full retail steep given how often the line goes on sale.

Sizing

Fits vary by cut — owners describe most Ralph Lauren cuts as generous (size down for slim), while the slim indigo tees run trim enough that one reviewer advises sizing up for a looser fit.
