Carhartt Boys Long Sleeve Chest Pocket T-Shirt vs City Threads Boys Long Sleeve Tee

Both are midweight 100% cotton long-sleeve tees with cuffs and a chest pocket, so the choice comes down to fit and construction. The Carhartt boys tee uses side-seam construction to resist twisting and a rib-knit crewneck and cuffs, with a sewn-on chest label; it runs as a standard boys cut. The City Threads tee is made in the USA with a relaxed fit and a slightly heavier jersey aimed at cooler weather, and owners of the brand's basics generally report it holds up through repeated washing. Buy the Carhartt for a sturdier, twist-resistant everyday tee; buy City Threads for a roomier USA-made tee for layering in cold months.

• Choose the Carhartt boys long-sleeve tee if you want side-seam construction that resists twisting and a rib-knit neck and cuffs that keep their shape.
• Choose the City Threads tee if you want a relaxed, USA-made cotton tee with a slightly heavier jersey for cooler weather.
