Topo Ranch Organic Cotton Tee : Perfect for Me

I used to have dozens and dozens of t-shirts. I had workout t-shirts, usually freebies I got from entered 10K races or attending trade shoes; every day t-shirts; and kinda dressy t-shirts that I saved for special occasions. Now I just have one shelf of t-shirts: my favorites and a couple of old tees for cleaning day.

On that shelf, on the top of the stack, is my Topo Ranch short-sleeved organic cotton tee. First thing I love about Topo Ranch tees is the cut - long and lean. At 5'11", my primarily concern with a t-shirt is the length; I need the coverage so I can scoot around in my low-rise jeans and still preserve my modesty. (Topo makes men's tees, too.)

I also love the soft, thin fabric. It's like the t-shirt is already broken in for me. I normally don't look so good in capped sleeves, but the capped sleeves on this tee are generous enough that I look just great. Other small details that keep this shirt on the top of my t-shirt pile: the contrast stitching along the shoulders and back of the neck, the tag free logo and washing instructions (which are in spanish!) printed on the inside of the shirt, and the variety of hip designs on the the front of the shirt.

I have the dark brown tee bearing an illustration of a deer with flowers growing out of its antlers. My friends' little two-year-old loves the image. So, I'm stylin' and still appeal to the toddler set. (Tee pictured above is a different design.)

Sizes: XS-L, variety of colors and designs.

Bottom Line : For me, it's all about fit, and Topo Ranch does an amazing job of making a women's tee that women can actually wear. Young women will love it, too. Add the bonus of super soft, thin, organic cotton, and this is a tee-shirt you want for your collection. Priced right, too.--E.D. (July 09)
