A Great Tee

An updated version of this great tee is here, and I am glad to hear that the fibers are stronger. Built to last is what I need seeing as I wear the heck out of these shirts. Same great comfort and fit!

Get back to the original shirt

Territory Ahead just doesn't get it. The old t-shirt of thick cotton was the best out there. Now they keep selling these thin cotton shirts. NOT FOR ME. I'm return the ringlet shirts i just bought!

My favorite t-shirts

I've been wearing these t-shirts for several years now and I absolutely love them. They get better after several washes, and hold the color well. Highly recommend.

Another old friend from Territory Ahead

It's another day in paradise, and the only problem I have, is, which one of my A-List T's should I wear. This comfortable tee has the perfect drape and fit that always makes a statement. Sizing is always true. Colors are brushed & muted and mellow with time....You'll want one in every color. I've been buying from Territory Ahead for over twenty-five years, and I have never been disappointed. Great clothes, great style at great prices with excellant customer service. Introduce your friends to this great Tee.

Bring back the old shirts

Same shirt as can be found anywhere else, only with less comfort and more static cling.

Not the same T

I have been a fan of the previous A List Ts for years. While the new ringspun is nice, its NOT the same heavy hand of the old style. The new ringspun is a slightly stretchy lighter feeling material, almost like it has spandex in it(which it does not, just the weave). These are a good shirt, but not a great one like before.

Mixed Review

I agree with others that the new A-List T has more static cling; it tends to pick up lint. It keeps its shape better than the old version, however. Why is TA no longer offering the A-List in white?

Great T's

My husband loves these T's! Please create some more colorful T's.

Tshirts with great feel

I love the way this shirt feels on. It is substantial without being too heavy for hot weather here in the South. It is finished very nicely, and there are lots of really great colors from which to choose. I will probably buy some long sleeve Tshirts for the cool season. Oh, and I am so glad that this great shirt is available in tall sizes.

Great tee's

I think these t-shirts are terrific quality. My only problem is the price.

Excellent Quality T-Shirt

I have purchased many A-List T-Shirts over the past and I will continue as long as they don't change the quality or the weight of the fabric. I love these T-Shirts.

New Ringspun Material Is Disappointing

I loved the old style, thicker A-List t-shirts. The new styles with ringspun cotton feel cheaper, thinner, and not as comfortable. Static and lint are a problem, too. I would very much like the hardier old style back.

Missing the original A-List T

Beefier? I don't think so. The new A-List seems thinner and sort of hangs on me, where the original A-List -- a four star stalwart of my wardrobe --was heavy enough to look and feel just right. Possibly the next size down might work better, but I would still miss the fuzzier original compared to the admittedly silkier ringspun ""upgrade."" Wish you could offer both.

Please bring back the previous shirt

I have to agree with some of the other reviewers here - the new shirt just isn't the same as the old one. I have been buying the A-List T for a few years now because the quality and color offerings are so much better than anything you can get at most retail stores. I wear t-shirts every day and don't mind paying a little more for quality and something I like. The previous shirt was a nice heavy, weight and only improved with age. The new shirt isn't quite as heavy and while the material has a smoother feel, it's just not the same. That said, this is still a better quality t-shirt than you can get at other stores, but I really hope they bring the old one back.

Really soft and comfortable Tee's

I bought several of these shirts as gifts for my 3 adult sons who all live in different areas of the country. It was a very easy process that was executed correctly and promptly by Territory Ahead. They love the shirts, especially the soft material!! And I felt good, as a mother, knowing they are wearing shirts that look good and feel good.

Not as good as the older style

I have purchased DOZENS of these in the past. I wore them all the time, but I agree with the other reviewers. Bring back the thicker style. These are merly colored undershirts. It pains me to say, but I am looking elsewhere until the old ones come back.

Good tees but they were better

I have been purchasing these t shirts for several years. They have been great but recently they have changed. At one point they were very nice and enduring. The cloth was a little thicker and felt better. Today they feel more like and undershirt. I would pay a little more if need be to get the same quality as they used to be. I really like the neck being a little tighter as you make it. It would be great if you could make one in classic white.

Bring the old ones back!

I agree with several of the reviewers on two fronts: the old ones were (much!) better, and TA should offer the T-shirts in white. These new ones ARE thinner and don't feel quite the same. The old ones were more robust and just felt and hung perfectly. I previously replaced all of my white T's with TA's version. Now TA doesn't offer white any longer. Please bring them back!

Great shirt!

I love these t-shirts. The fit is good (run a little large and hang a little long). Good quality material. I have them in several colors and wear them all the time. I would like to see more colors (light blue, white, natural).

A List T

I own multiple A List Ts in the old version, recently purchased a new one. I will be returning. The quality of the material is thin and the fit has changed. It is no longer the T I loved.

Good, But Old Version Was Better

I have purchased many A-List T-Shirts over the years; the new ring-spun version is good, but the previous version is better. The new one feels thinner, less substantial and like it will not last as long, though the neck/collar seems to be the same outstanding shape/material/fit as in the previous version. The old version was more distinct. The new version is closer to the pima t-shirts. Having owed so many different brands of t-shirts, the A-List quickly became my all-time-favorite, just slightly less so in the new version. I am confident TTA will listen to the many reviews and return to the previous, wide-loved previous version. Thank you.

Boone, IA

I have purchased so many of the A-List in the past, and have continued to purchase new colors each season, but I agree with the other reviewers when they state the quality of the shirt has gone down in the last year. The old version was more distinct. The new version is closer to a t-shirt I could get at The Gap. Bring back the thicker style, that is what made the A-List so unique, that and the great color selection.

WORK N IT

Sorry I missed the old A-list tees. The new ones are very comfortable, sop-up the sweat, and have great colors. They are a bit pricey but got beet and blue as a present for working on madelines house. Where are ya at Michael? Thanks madeline. The ladies Don't see me in these just madeline and she gave me the thumbs up and a beverage.

Fit has changed

I have just received a shipment of 3 A-List Tees which I've ordered for years and must have at least a dozen. The new A-List Tees are not the same as the old one's. While I fit very well for years as an XL, the new ones are not as generous as the old. I immediately put on one of my old ones to compare the fit and also laid the new on top of and old. The new have at least 3 inches less in the body which also makes the sleeves much shorter. Why do you continue to change the old and probably best seller ? F. Hagen

A list kudos--but...

I recently purchased 2 more A-list Ts. I like the hefty weight [don't agree with comments by others that the new Ts are more flimsy]. I like the wide range of great colors [I have purchased more than 20 of these Ts during the past 10 years or so. They are durable and I like the roomy cut. My only concern is that the shirt is no longer available in white.

Good But Not As Good as the Old A-List T Shirts

I thought it was just me until I read the reviews others have posted. I completely agree that the beefier fabric of the previous A-List T-Shirts was superior. The fit and available colors have been an improvement, but please bring back the old fabric.

Bring back the old ones

Can't believe these replaced the older much better A list tee. I really loved the old ones. Why can't anybody stick with a winner. Please bring back the old ones. Oh yeah, in white.

CAUTION

CAUTION: The size has changed. They are significantly smaller CAUTION: The T the looks black on the screen IS NOT !!!! It's GREY (Vintage Black as they call). This was my go-to product from Territory Ahead. Was excellent source for a decent T. You should be more demanding of your suppliers and keep your products consistent.

Do you know your acetate from a hole in the ground? Your gussets from your grommets? If not, here's a list of the more commonly used textile words and terms that you'll see in our catalog. For more information or clarification, you can call us at: 800-882-4324

ACETATE - A manufactured fiber that uses cellulose refined from cotton and/or wood pulp. Characteristics: fast drying, wrinkle- and shrinkage-resistant, crisp or soft depending on end use, luxurious in appearance.
ACRYLIC - A manufactured fiber made from long-chain synthetic polymers. Characteristics: wrinkle resistance; low moisture absorbency and quick-drying; provides warmth yet lightweight, soft and resilient.
ALPACA - The fleece from an Alpaca, a cousin to the llama. Alpaca fleece is similar in characteristics to wool, but softer, silkier and more lustrous.
BANDED COLLAR - A shirt without a fold-over collar; there is only the band at the neck.
BARTACK - A close series of stitches crossing a piece of cloth in order to reinforce is at a point of concentrated strain (e.g. belt loop or patch pocket corner).
BASKET WEAVE - A variation of the plain weave in which two or more threads weave alike in both warp (down) and filling (across) directions, joined in the regular order of the plain weave. So named for the basket-like pattern of the weave.
BATIK - A method of resist dyeing which employs wax as the resist. The pattern is covered with wax, and the fabric is then dyed: the wax patterns will not take the dye. The wax is removed after dyeing by boiling the fabric or applying solvent. The fabric is often streaked where the dye has gone through cracks in the wax. Batik dyeing originated in Indonesia.
BESOM - A narrow piece of fabric that works as an edging on a pocket; can be single besom, one side of pocket opening or double besom, both sides.
BOX PLEAT - Two small, back to back outward facing pleats that have a box- like appearance. On shirts, box pleats are positioned in the center back at the bottom of the yoke to allow ease of movement in the shoulders and arms.
BROADCLOTH - A fine, closely woven, lustrous cotton or cotton/poly blend made in plain weave with a fine rib in the direction of the filling (across). The filling yarn is heavier and has less twist than the warp yarn (down). The cloth is usually mercerized, and has a soft, firm finish.
BRUSHING - A finishing process for woven or knit fabrics in which brushes or other abrading elements are used to raise a nap (a fuzzy or downy surface). Brushed fabrics have a soft, slightly weathered, broken-in feel.
BUTTON-DOWN COLLAR - Having buttonholes on the collar points so they fasten to the shirt.
CAMP COLLAR - A one-piece collar that lays flat, part of the shirt also lays flat to create a notch. Also called a Convertible Collar or Notched Collar.
CANVAS - A general classification of strong, firm, closely woven fabrics usually made with cotton. A heavier, open weave comprised of plied yarns (a number of single yarns, usually three, twisted together). Characteristics: very hard-wearing, generally water-resistant.
CASHMERE - The fleece comes from a Cashmere goat. These animals roam at high elevations (10,000 - 15,000 ft.), hence their very warm, soft fleece. Garments made with cashmere are normally more expensive because of limited yield (one goat produces only 4 ounces of fleece a year).
CHAMBRAY - A general class of plain weave, usually cotton, made with a colored warp (down) and white filling (across). Most often made using blue and white, but also available in stripes, checks and figured patterns.
COMBING - The removal of short fibers or noils from material so that the resulting yarn be composed of larger fibers. The comb straightens and arranges them in parallel order.
CORDUROY - A strong, durable fabric with cotton ground and vertical cut-pile stripes (wales) formed by an extra system of filling yarns. The foundation of the fabric can be either a plain or twill weave. Of all cotton fabrics, corduroy is the warmest because its wales form an insulated cushion of air.
COTTON - A vegetable fiber consisting of unicellular hairs attached to the seed of the cotton plant. The normal color of cotton is light to dark cream, and its chemical composition is almost pure cellulose. A distinct feature of the mature fiber is its spirality or twist. In fabrics, cotton makes for strong, versatile, cool-wearing and comfortable garments.
CREPE - A general classification of fabric characterized by a broad range of crinkled or gained surface effects. Methods of making crepe include the use of hard twisted yarns, special chemical treatment, special weaves and embossing.
DART - A tuck in the fabric that is sewn. It is used to define the shape of a garment making a two dimensional piece of fabric into a three-dimensional garment. Darts are usually seen where the body curves: bust, waist, hip.
DENIM - A well-known basic cotton or blended fabric in a right- or left-hand woven twill. Generally, the warp (down) is dyed blue with a white filling (across). Also called "dungaree."
DOBBY - A general term for a fabric woven on a special dobby loom, which allows the weaving of small, geometric figures. These patterns are beyond the range of simple looms, yet too limited to be produced economically by Jacquard loom. A dobby weave can be distinguished from a plain weave by its more ornate and intricate woven appearance.
FLANNEL - Generally, a cotton or wool fabric, napped on one or both sides (usually both), then bleached, dyed or printed, and brushed or rerun through the napping machine to revive the nap. Flannel fabrics are very soft and cozy.
FLEECE - 1). A heavy napped surface, most often in knit goods, made with a heavy and soft-spun back yarn, which is napped in finishing (e.g. the inside surface of a sweatshirt). 2). Wool sheared from sheep or other animals in the wool class. The term is especially used for the entire coat of wool shorn from the sheep at one time; it is generally taken off the animal in one piece.
GARMENT DYEING - The garment is first produced, then the complete garment is dyed.
GARMENT WASH - The garment is constructed and then washed to soften the fabric and minimize shrinkage.
GAUGE - A measurement used in knitted garments that reflects the size of the needles used to knit the garment. The larger the gauge, the smaller the needle - therefore, the finer the knit.
GORE - Vertical panels in a skirt or dress; enhances the fit of a garment.
GROMMET - Little air holes reinforced with metal ring, usually on jackets, hats or shoes to allow ventilation.
GROSGRAIN - A firm, closely woven, ribbed fabric. It has a dressy appearance and is used for ribbons, neckties, hatbands and trimmings.
GUSSET - A triangular piece of fabric inserted into a garment to improve the fit or for reinforcement (e.g. on the sleeve of a jacket under the arm to allow for extra layering).
HERRINGBONE TWILL - A broken twill weave composed of vertical sections which are alternately right hand and left hand in direction, resembling the vertebral structure of the herring (zigzag). The twill changes direction perfectly where the weave breaks, balancing the overall pattern of the fabric.
HOLLYWOOD WAISTBAND - The waistband is the same piece of fabric as the rest of the garment. Advantages are that it has a smooth silhouette making the transition from hip to waist more gradual.
JACQUARD - A system of weaving which, because of a pattern-making mechanism of great versatility, permits the production of very ornate, complex woven designs. This type of weaving is used for tapestry, figured necktie and dress fabric, and figured patterns on knit goods (sweaters).
JERSEY - A generic term for a plain knitted fabric; its principal distinction is that it is not a fabric with a distinct rib (e.g. T-shirt fabric).
KNIT - Knit fabrics are made up of a series of interlocking loops that result in a flexible construction. All knits have some stretch.
LINEN - One of the oldest textile fibers known. Though the fiber and the fabric are both commonly known as linen, it is actually flax, the fiber of the Linum plant. Linen is generally favored for its fine, strong, cool-wearing properties. It drapes away from the skin rather than clinging to it. In knitwear, linen is combined with other natural or synthetic fibers for improved strength and resiliency.
MERCERIZATION - A treatment of cotton yarn or fabric to increase its luster. Its affinity for dyes is also enhanced. In the process, the material is immersed under tension in a sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) solution. This later is neutralized in acid. The process causes a permanent swelling of the fiber, thus increasing its luster.
NYLON - The generic term for man-made fibers composed of polyamides derived from coal and petroleum. Characteristics: high strength, elasticity, low water absorption and quick-drying.
OMBRE - A color effect woven into the fabric that has gradual changes in shade from light to dark, generally produced by arranging different tones in the warp.
PIGMENT DYEING - A process in which a specific type of dye is applied to the surface of a fabric, then after one washing it fades into a softer color. The color will slowly continue to fade with age. Pigment dyed products from The Territory Ahead are prewashed and will not harm other garments during washing.
PLACKET - An opening with fabric piecing and buttons or snaps on a garment that facilitates dressing. Plackets can be at the neck of a shirt, the cuff of a sleeve, or the waist of a skirt or pair of pants.
PLEATS - Small tucks in clothing to allow for extra room and ease of movement. Pleats can be seen at the waist of pants or skirts, the cuff of a sleeve, the waist or bust area of a blouse or dress.
POLYESTER - A manufactured fiber made from long-chain synthetic polymers. Characteristics: crease-resistance, quick-drying, great shape retention, high strength, abrasion resistance and easy care.
PRINTING - Applying color(s) in definite, repeated patterns of fabric by any one of a number of printing methods. Color is deposited in thick paste form and treated with steam or chemicals to cause it to migrate into or adhere to textile material. The design is not woven into the cloth but stamped in after the cloth is woven or knit.
RAMIE - A strong, soft fiber yielded by the inner bark of the Ramie plant. The fiber is white, soft, lustrous and slightly coarser than flax (linen) when degummed and bleached. Ramie fabrics are strong, smooth and durable.
RAYON - A generic term for man-made fibers composed of regenerated cellulose derived from trees, cotton and woody plants. Characteristics: high absorbency, bright or dull luster, pleasant feel or hand, good draping qualities, ability to be dyed in brilliant colors and superior strength.
REACTIVE DYE - A type of dye that completely saturates the fabric for a long lasting color.
RIB KNIT - A double-knit fabric in which the rib wales or vertical rows of stitches intermesh alternatively on the face and the back of the fabric. Rib knit fabrics have good elasticity and shape retention, especially in the width.
RISE - The measurement on pants from the front waist between the legs up to the back waist. This refers to how high or low a pant will ride (i.e. "short-waist" or "long-waist")
SANDBLASTING - The garment is literally sandblasted for a worn-in look; fabric has to be very durable to withstand the abuse, usually 14 oz. denim for jeans.
SANDWASH - Sand is put into the industrial wash for a softened feel and texture for the garment.
SHIRTTAIL HEM - The curved bottom hem of a shirt - higher on the side hip area (for ease of movement) dipping low in the front and back (so that the shirt will stay tucked into pants).
SILK - Continuous protein filament produced by the larvae of various insects, especially the caterpillar when constructing its cocoon. The chief portion of commercial silk is produced in Japan and China. Characteristics: resiliency, aesthetics, elasticity and strength, warm in winter, cool in summer.
SLUB - A lump or thick place on yarn caused by small lengths of yarn adhering to it during the spinning process. This adds a random texture to the fabric when the yarn is woven or knit into a garment.
SPREAD COLLAR - An open collar with no buttons to hold the collar points to the shirt. Spread collars have two pieces: the fold over collar part and the stand that keeps the collar close to the neck.
STANDARD WAISTBAND - An extra piece of fabric that is sewn to the body of the pants, shorts or skirt.
TENCEL? - A cellulosic fiber produced by Courtaulds, spun from an amine oxide solvent that offers a higher degree of polymerization than is available with rayon. Characteristics: pleasant feel or hand, good draping qualities, ability to be dyed in brilliant colors and superior strength, and easy care.
VENTED BOTTOM - The bottom hem of a shirt that is cut straight with side slits to allow ease of movement. Vents are usually 2" deep.
WALE - In woven fabric, one series of ribs, cords, or raised portions. In corduroy fabric, wales per inch are counted to distinguish broad- from fine-textured cloth. The higher the wale number, the finer the texture of the fabric.
WEIGHT OF CLOTH (OZ.) - A description or classification of many fabrics by weight per yard.
WELT - A piece of fabric that works as an edging on a pocket; usually a single welt and wider than a besom.
WOOL - Primarily the fleece of a sheep or lamb - but can also refer to fleece of the alpaca, angora, cashmere goat, camel and vicuna. The fiber is distinguished from hair by the character of its covering: minute overlapping scales, which give it a felting property. Characteristics: strong and resilient, soft and warm, wicks away moisture and dyes well for rich coloration.
WOVEN - Woven fabrics are produced by the interlacing of yarns. Each filling yarn goes alternately over and under each warp yarn.
YARN-DYEING - Dyeing of individual yarns before weaving or knitting. Compared to garment dyes or prints, yarn-dyed fabrics boast richer, longer lasting color.
YOKE - An added section of fabric in a shirt or pants that enhances the fit. On a shirt, the yoke is usually on the back across the top shoulder area but can also be on the front shoulder to chest area. On pants, it is generally on the back of jeans-style pants located below the waistband.
