Product Insights

This Pima cotton V-neck from Robert Barakett offers a smooth, shape-retentive fabric from extra-long staple fibers and enzyme-washing, with color lasting 50 washes via reactive dyes. However, it runs large and shrinks roughly half to one full size in length after washing, so buyers must size down and cold-wash and lay-flat dry to maintain fit. Its moderate V-neck and mid-bicep, hip-length cut layer under a blazer or pair with joggers, but the full $79.50 CAD price is best avoided—instead, target the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ($38 USD) or Nordstrom Rack ($20 USD).

Verified claims

Sizing
Runs large; buyers typically size down.
Shrinkage
Shrinks more in length than in width, roughly half to one full size in length after the first wash.
Neckline depth
Classic moderate V-neck depth, not plunging.
Fabric
100% Pima cotton with extra-long staple fibers (36.5–38 mm) for smoother feel and shape retention.
Color
Color stays rich for up to 50 washes due to reactive dyes.
Finish
Enzyme-washed and soft-water-treated for a smooth, low-luster face and long-lasting color.
Shape retention
Cold-water wash and lay-flat drying maintain shape; tumble drying is not advised; extra-long staple fibers resist distortion.
Pricing
Best bought at Nordstrom Anniversary Sale ($38 USD) or Nordstrom Rack ($20 USD) instead of full $79.50 CAD.
Review relevance
Buyers report the fabric has become thinner and the cut altered since 2020; earlier reviews may not reflect the current version.
Layering fit
Mid-bicep sleeves and hip-length hem fit under a blazer; size down for slim layering.
V-neck depth
Moderate V-neck depth prevents showing undershirt under open-collar layers.
Versatility
Suited to casual standalone wear and layering under jackets or cardigans; Simons stocks five core colors.
Fabric weight
The brand does not publish a fabric weight in GSM; community feedback reports the fabric has become thinner since 2020.
Pilling resistance
Long-staple Pima cotton naturally resists pilling, and with cold wash and lay-flat drying, pilling should be minimal.
Softness
Buyers repeatedly describe the shirt as soft, comfortable, and luxurious.
Value
Buyers say the shirt is not worth full retail price but is a great value when purchased on sale.

  • Review of Robert Barakett tee's feel and versatility

    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.

    u/Aventador_22r/malefashionadviceView thread →

  • Value proposition: buy on sale

    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. Just be sure you look for the "Georgia" tee on the discount sites. At that price, these are some of the best bang-for-your-buck and are worth stocking up on.

  • High praise for quality and recommendation to buy on sale

    Robert barakett without fail produces great quality tees. They often go on sale and/or can be got from retailers for less. Got one and have about ten more after that.

  • Reported decline in quality of recent Robert Barakett tees

    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.
