Made from 100% Pima cotton jersey with a smooth, fine-gauge knit, this crew-neck T-shirt features short set-in sleeves, a straight hem with side slits, and a no-logo front. It is designed for versatile everyday wear, worn alone or layered under a jacket or cardigan, and is praised for its soft, cool-to-the-touch fabric and durable collar. Note that the fit runs slightly large initially but shrinks significantly in the first wash, so buyers may want to size up.

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.

Verified claims

Hand feel
Pima cotton jersey feels cool to the touch, very smooth, and has a natural drape.
Sustained softness
Buyers report the shirt still looks great after repeated washings, and its Pima cotton resists fading.
Fit
The shirt shrinks significantly on first wash, especially in length; many buyers recommend sizing up.
Care
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and lay flat to dry to minimize shrinkage; the first wash can still shorten length.
Batch variation
Fit and fabric weight can vary by color and production batch, with recent batches reported as thinner.
Fabric
100% Pima cotton with a soft hand and durable collar; recent batches may use thinner fabric.
Lint attraction
Buyers report the fabric can attract small white lint balls after washing.
Brand transparency
No official statement from the brand on the reported quality changes.
Brand positioning
Sold at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Harry Rosen, where it is positioned as a Canadian alternative to American coastal basics like James Perse.
Durability
The shirt still looks great after repeated washings, and its Pima cotton construction supports shape retention over time.
Pricing
$79.50 CAD / $55 USD — undercuts certified Supima tees by $20 via licensing fee bypass.
Colorfastness
Pima cotton’s deep, uniform dye penetration helps colors resist fading through repeated laundering.
In-store try-on
Available for in-store try-on at Simons to check fit before purchase.
Use cases
The tee works for layering under a jacket or blazer and for smart-casual wear.
Design details
Enzyme-washed finish, split hem, unbranded design, and opaque lightweight fabric suit polished looks and layering.
Sizing
Buyers recommend sizing up because the shirt shrinks significantly on the first wash.
Capsule wardrobe
Buyers who like the tee often order additional colors, and the Pima cotton resists fading.
Enthusiast ranking
Rated second overall but first on luxurious feel in a documented head-to-head with Asket.
Layering weight
The jersey is lightweight enough to layer under a jacket while remaining opaque enough to wear on its own.
Fit profile
The shirt has a classic, straight-cut fit that layers cleanly under a blazer without pulling or excess fabric.

  • 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.

    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.
