Why We Love This Deal
If your T-shirt drawer is looking a little empty and/or shaggy, Labor Day sales mark the perfect opportunity to stock up. Yes, Amazon and Walmart will have basic options from Hanes and other old-time staples. But one sale we’re excited to see is happening over at True Classic. One of our favorite deals? More than half off a six-pack of the brand’s just-released heavyweight T-shirts in your choice of colors.
A 6-pack of True Classic Heavyweight Pocket Crew T-Shirts is just $112 at True Classic right now, a 53% discount from its normal $240 price tag. That price reflects a 42% discount and the extra 20% discount activated with the code LABORDAY at checkout. While the heavyweight shirts are a new product, True Classic’s Classic Pocket Crew Neck T-shirts have earned nearly 900 five-star reviews. In other words, this is a brand you can trust to buy in bulk.

As with any product that could be described as an “elevated basic,” these shirts look pretty standard at first glance. But a closer inspection reveals the thoughtful details that justify its (normally twice as high) price tag.
There’s the 60/40 blend of cotton and polyester designed to get the softness of the former and the durability of the latter. The cut is a crowd-pleaser—not too tight, not too short, and flattering to a wide swath of bodies. The tag is screen-printed, the chest pocket is present, and the guarantee is impressive—free replacement within 100 days—though we would prefer a long money-back guarantee.

What Shoppers Are Saying
While there aren’t all that many early reviews, the few there are uniformly positive. One customer wrote that these shirts have “a premium feel that makes them stand out from every other tee I own.” Another added that they are “thick, comfortable, and effortlessly cool.”
Another wrote that they were surprised by how much they liked this heavier shirt because it “has a nice weight to it without feeling too warm or stiff” and “feels tough but still soft.” Those are the pitfalls of heavier fabrics, so the fact that this shirt avoids them makes it worth considering for even the most discerning of T-shirt wearers.
Solid T-shirts are the kind of thing everyone should (re)stock up on from time to time, so the chance to save over 50% on a 6-pack of True Classic Heavyweight Pocket Crew T-Shirts is not one to be missed. Just make sure you order by September 1, the day this sale ends, and the chance to rebuild your T-shirt supplies on the cheap goes along with it.
