Is the Patagonia Responsibili-Tee worth the price?

If you want a durable tee made from recycled fabric in a Fair Trade factory, yes. If you just need a cheap basic, a mainstream cotton tee costs less.

How does it fit compared with other Patagonia tees?

It uses Patagonia's regular fit, which is roomier than slim-fit lines. Size down if you want a closer cut.

The recycled cotton blend can shrink slightly in a hot dryer. Wash cold and line dry to keep the fit.

What is the fabric made of?

It is 5.5-oz jersey, 50% recycled cotton and 50% postconsumer recycled polyester, bluesign approved.

When is the best time to buy it?

Patagonia tees discount modestly, mostly at end-of-season sales and on past-season colors. Watch the price history for dips.

Our take on the Patagonia Men's P-6 Logo Responsibili-Tee

The Patagonia P-6 Logo Responsibili-Tee is a men's short-sleeve crewneck made from 5.5-oz jersey that blends 50% recycled cotton with 50% postconsumer recycled polyester. It has a regular fit, a straight hem and the classic P-6 logo graphic. It is bluesign approved and sewn in a Fair Trade Certified factory in Mexico. The tee is a staple that rarely discounts deeply, so the lowest listed price is usually the one to take.
