RothcoFire Retardant Combat Shirt (US, Alpha, XX-Large, Regular, Regular, Black)

IT WAS A PERSONAL MISTAKE FOR MY ISSUE OF THINK IT MIGHT BE SMALL BUT YEAH OVER SIZE BUT I STILL USE WHEN I GO OUT TO PERSONAL HIKING

I bought black, started wearing it in March of this year, the shoulders and collar lost color quickly where they were not covered by the vest, even though I washed the shirt with black laundry soap.The collar stretched and is now very puffy.I have worn Rotcho pants before and they have lasted quite a while, but this time, the Combat Shirt let me down.

I like it but I don't understand why the company decided to make the main body of the cloth portion of the shirt black, while making the rest of it digital camouflage. Or at least, I don't know why the company doesn't offer a version of the shirt that is complete digital camo throughout the shirt. Isn't the main purpose of camouflage to blend the wearer in with his environment? I know these shirts were intended to be worn under body armor but I think that is irrelevant. Not EVERYONE wears body armor on a daily basis and although im no longer in the military, everything at my job is GRAY, and its kinda nice blending in a little bit more so my boss doesnt constantly see everything im doing from a distance. The black shirt itself most certainly makes someone stand out from a distance in an urban environment, and even against a dark solid Gray concrete wall of the same color as the sleeves.Speaking of the sleeves... is it just me, or are the sleeves a little short? I kinda like it that way because when im working I dont constantly have to worry about the cuffs sliding over my hands a little bit and getting in the way... and when im washing my hands or doing something messy at work i dont have to worry about getting anything on the sleeves, but its a little odd I think that the sleeves seem to be around an inch shorter than i'd have expected. Keep that in mind, because is something youre either going to like or dislike about this shirt.They would have been better off making the shirt a solid dark gray like the color of the darkest gray in the cammo, because anyone who knows anything about camouflage and concealment knows that Black is not a real color. Black is simply the deepest shade of PURPLE. Black also does not exist in nature whatsoever and rarely exists in urban environments. As a fashionable shirt, sure, it looks nice. As a functional tactical shirt for wear in an urban environment WITHOUT the use of a camouflaged body armor vest... its lacking.Since it's designed to be worn as a soldier in the US Army or at LEAST a police force of sorts (judging by all the velcro on both arms) you would think they would have thought about how silly it would be to make the shirt black. If the intent was to market this as a shirt for people to wear out, for fashionable purposes, or at least to work (maybe look cool at work while also having pockets to put stuff and whatever) then why put the velcro on it? It just looks silly and makes people wonder "Does this dude think hes in the military or something?"Anyway, thats my two cents on it. I took the shirts to the tailor and had them remove most of the BLACK velcro which not only makes it look silly but has no purpose if you aren't in the military or on a swat team, and the shirt looks much better now and its quite useful having the extra pockets on the shoulders for storage. All in all, for a Rothco item, it's not too bad and i'd buy it again but if I ever found a better quality product with better forethought in the design of their shirt, i'd get it instead without hesitation.

Im 5’10 195lbs, I’m very muscular but not enough to fill out this “medium”. The arms are so short - yet has a 18-20” circumference. The collar is large, the torso looks like a flowy dress on me, which tells me this was made for a more obese human. I don’t know what to suggest, if I went down to a size Small, the arms would be even shorter but the rest might fit.T-shirt material is soft, camo material isn’t scratchy.For $50 I guess I expected too much.It’s not great, but I’m keeping as a last resort backup. In case the next one I buy gets destroyed or wet.

I got the XL to make sure the sleeves would be long enough. I'm kinda tall and skinny (6'5"/195-200 probably around 215-220 with gear), and this is cut for someone with a bigger chest than mine. Guess I need to hit the gym. 🤷‍♂️It kept the sweat off me pretty well running around in the woods. If they had some tall sizes, it would be a 5 star from me, for sure.

This shirt would have five stars if not for all the velcro patches and upper neck portion.My husband loves it for FR wear, but the shirt rides back due to the type of material, making it like a turtle neck style, and rides up around the neck, on him.Understand some need the patches, but if y'all could sell some shirts without the patches, I bet they'd sell a while lot better and more of them. I know we'd buy a bunch.Really nice quality and comfort! Size fits as described. 8

Got it big to use as a winter shell. Like the pockets and the size.

Ok garment back wrong colour was sent

Very Comfortable and COOL color!

Super.. great fit. I'm 6' 260 lbs ans XL size fits me perfectly. Seems to be a good quality. Let's see how long it will last.

It looks cool it's nice and all but the arms are kind of weirdly short. Not a crazy amount might be due to broad shoulders. So if u workout and ur fairly built careful with this.
