The Onno Bamboo/Cotton T-Shirt
The nice folks from Onno Clothing sent me a t-shirt to try out. To be fair, this is not just your standard cotton t-shirt – this is a premium, eco-friendly, and all-in-all pretty awesome t-shirt.
The one they sent me was made from 70% viscose from organic bamboo and 30% organic cotton it is pretty stinkin’ soft. It is stretchy, but not too stretchy and fits great. I was pleased to find out that the shirt really didn’t shrink at all after washing. I often have this problem with most t-shirts that I buy, but that was not the case with this one.
I also often get annoyed when a t-shirt is too short and I start to look like I am trying to show off my (lack of) six-pack abs. The Onno shirt I got is really just about the perfect length. It falls about 2 inches below my belt line – which is perfect for me.
I normally don’t pay much for t-shirts (rarely over $10), and the Onno shirt costs $26, so in the past I probably wouldn’t have bought one, but after this shirt has become my hands-down favorite – I will be buying more in the future.
This was a review that I was happy to write because Onno offers eco-friendly products that genuinely are comfortable.
