Robert Barakett
Luxurious Pima Cotton T-Shirt
This is a crew-neck T-shirt from Canadian label Robert Barakett, made from 100% Pima cotton jersey. It features a split hem and an enzyme-washed finish that gives the fabric a smooth, cool-to-the-touch feel. Reviews note that the shirt shrinks significantly after the first wash, so sizing up may be necessary, and recent batches may have thinner fabric than older versions.

Product Insights
The Robert Barakett Luxurious Pima Cotton T‑Shirt delivers a cool, smooth hand feel and maintains its softness and color over a year, but its core tradeoff is significant length shrinkage after the first wash (despite cold washing and line drying) and a tendency to attract lint, with batch variation adding fit uncertainty. Its discounted price (available for $20–$38 during sales or as the Georgia Crew at Nordstrom Rack) lowers purchase risk, and it positions as a Canadian alternative to James Perse at Nordstrom and Saks, scoring first for luxurious feel in a head‑to‑head against Asket.

Positive comments highlight the soft, cool fabric and good collar durability, but frequent complaints about shrinkage and thinner post-COVID fabric temper enthusiasm.

Detailed review of Robert Barakett t-shirt feel, fit, shrinkage, and pricing
The Canadian company calls it the Barakett T but it's also known as the Georgia Crew at discount retailers. It's made from 100% ultra-fine US grown cotton and is finished with a heavy enzyme wash. Robert Barakett claims this helps give it a worn and broken in feel and gives the fabric a slight sheen, both of which I can attest to. The material is cool to the touch and very smooth. I've worn them with joggers and under a sports coat and work well in any situation. These have been a part of my rotation for about a year now and I've experienced no loss of color. All mine are a size small. They fit a bit large initially but they shrank a good amount on the first wash so keep that in mind when sizing. The shirt's length was perfect when new but is slightly short for me after the shrinkage. The arms and chest region came in nicely and were perfect for me after the wash. The collar shows no sign of wear even after wearing these regularly for a year. The split hem is a nice feature that prevents any pulling for more athletic legged people. They are $60 on their website but don't pay that much for this tee. Nordstrom's Anniversary sale brings it down to $38 for all the staple colors and I've seen quirky colors for as low as $20 on Nordstrom Rack.

Positive feedback on fit, construction, and softness
Can confirm. I just bought one of their tees on eBay and I love the fit and construction. Also the cotton flees really soft and *deluxe*

Report of declining fabric quality and thickness over time
Hi there, the RB “Georgia” Tee is my favorite shirt. I have acquired about 50 over the years and still have my first ones. I have noticed a few differences from country to country but I feel the real difference is in the GSM of the cotton provided to the manufacturing facility. The oldest RBs (has stripes on collar tag) where very thick(thailand). Almost too thick. the first gen after ( both Vietnam, china) were perfect thickness.. fast forward to post covid, I find the new shirts to be very thin and don’t drape as well( thailand). albeit they are softer but that could just be a softener sprayed on the cotton. thankfully i have stockpiled these shirts, have about 10 NWT for the future bc I anticipated the quality decline and just happen to get them 50% off at the time.
