This is my favorite shirt I own and I have it in several colors. Please don't discontinue it!! I tried the Favorite Cotton Classic Tee and the fabric was not nearly as good as this one.

I thought this was out of stock because of seasons and I will be devastated if it doesn't come back. I wear this shirt in every color and in both necklines on repeat. Please don't discontinue!!!!

Comments about Essential Tee

"Essential" is the perfect name for it! I have multiple now. They are rather cropped so I get Tall and they are perfection.
