Its just a great Tee shirt. I have this style in 3 different colors. The capped sleeves are nice - a little more curve in the torso would be good too. You usually cant go wrong with Patagonia.
Great T shirt to wear on a hot day or to layer. Does not shrink, but I don't dry. (just hang it for a short while) It's pretty thin so it dries easily if you hand wash on a trip. Good basic for any wardrobe.
This is the PERFECT tee shirt for warm weather. It is light and loose yet drapes flatteringly. I loved it so much I bought two more, and hope to buy even more colors next year. I weight 130 lbs, 5'3", and the medium is perfect on me.
I bought some of these a few years ago. The older version was more fitted and flattering. These are more boxy and seem shorter. The back always gets caught in the waist of my jeans.

I own at least 10 of these shirts. The older version is actually my favorite because of the collar. On the newest version, the collar sags a little in the middle. Still love how breathable, soft, and flattering these shirts are. Wear them daily for anything!
I ordered a couple more white T-shirt’s - I love these T-shirt’s. Comfortable and I love having the breast pocket. One day...might you consider making a jet black T-shirt and a turquoise?

Good essential piece
This simple tshirt is so well-made and well-fitting, I immediately ordered two more.
I was looking forward to this being my favorite go to white tee. The material is so thin it got a run in it after just a few wears. Also the pocket is huge and placed in a weird spot. I would not recommend this shirt.

Bring Back the Old Style!
These used to be my absolute favorite tee shirts, I had lots of colors and they fit perfectly. But the redesign is awful :( The pocket is huge and weirdly placed, the neckline is much more scooped, it is a boxier and less flattering fit now. The sleeves are also more like cap sleeves now which just make my arms look wider. It is a totally different... Read More shirt! If you bring back the old fit I will buy them in every color!

Lovely but thin cotton
This shirt is nicely made and fits beautifully. I kept it and am wearing it under linen dresses or tops. In white, the fabric is so sheer you can see your bra so had to be mindful of this. Would have preferred it to be a bit more opaque.
I have some of the old-style Mainstay t-shirts, which were slimmer fitting. This style has a lower neck, tails on the hem, and runs a little larger. A small fit me in the earlier style. This style an XS fits me better.
The material is very comfortable and wears well and I like the navy color which isn't too dark or too bright.
I've owned Mainstay tees and tanks since 2014. The batch I bought in 2014 is JUST starting to wear through, and this is wearing them every week, summer and winter, year in year out. Bought this shirt in a few more colors and in the tank version as well. Highly recommend. I have some in L and XL depending on the cut I want on a given day.
These named appropriately, the new mainstay tees in my closet! Fit it slightly loose, I'm usually between M - L and went with the M for a more fitted look.
I'll never understand why brands ruin classics with redesigns. The old version of this tee had a longer, leaner fit -- this one is boxy and not as flattering. And the sleeves are style more like cap sleeves than a tee. Such a bummer!
Hi Elisabeth, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. If you haven't already done so, please feel free to begin a [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at your earliest convenience.

For all ocasiones T-Shirt
I wear this y-shirt on top of the tank as it makes perfect layer. As the tank is soft and comfortable.
These are my absolute favorite tees - I own about 6 of them. I'm so glad to see black is back in the mix, because the lighter colors just washed me out. Tidepool is my other favorite colorway. I have 5 in S and one in M, and while the S fits better, the M is the one I wear the most for its comfort and slouch factor! Very forgiving, and hold up... Read More well. Keep making these - and consider a deep purple color option!
I wrote a review of these t-shirts last August and this is an update. They hold up great with washing....no shrinkage. They dry quickly without putting them in the dryer. I do love the neckline and hope Patagonia doesn't change it! It's definitely a selling point for me. Now looking for new colors! (I have four of these and will get more!... Read More)
I purchased the old and new version of the t-shirt and the redesign was obviously a fail. I am wondering if the old design is ever making a come back? I have been checking the website religiously for that as my old t-shirts are wearing old.
Hi Lana, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the Mainstay Tee isn't meeting your expectations. You're comments will be taken into consideration going forward. In the meantime, please feel free to begin a [return or exchange](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html) at your earliest convenience.

Light Weight in A Good Way
Very nice tee shirt: Light weight material, good color choices, great length and split side seams, sleeves fine. I would prefer higher neckline of years past, but this tee is acceptable regarding the neckline. Overall, a great tee.
These are staples in my closet and I own 3. I have a medium from a few years ago and 2 smalls. They are not fitted and I that is fine by me. The smalls fit me better and 80% of the time I wear a medium in Patagonia tops.
I will repurchase if I need another but they hold up well to washing/drying and dry pretty quickly if hand washing when camping... Read More.
I like this T because it is cotton. I have many owned in previous years, and of course still have them. They wash up well. I like it shorter because I wear tights and it isn't bunched up because there is a lot to tuck in. I would prefer the previous neckline. I agree with some that it should be more fitted and hope there is a redesign for that... Read More.
If you want a scoop neck boxy tee, great, here it is. If you want the holy grail of t shirts, the Patagonia Mainstay, it is gone. The photos Patagonia displays above are misleading: most of them are from the previous (beloved) design, and not the update. Go to backcountry.com for accurate photos.
But the main issue here: I know Patagonia reviews a... Read Morere full of complaints about I bought this in 1975 and it is just not the same any more! This is not that. This is almost 12 months of more than half the reviews still looking to purchase what was for them (and for me) a staple basic item. I simply do not understand 12 months of Patagonia responses saying we will pass this along to the design team. The customer feedback at this point is clear, consistent and reasonable. We would like the opportunity to purchase the previous design. Could we please get a real response from Patagonia?
Hi Sarah! We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the current design of the Mainstay Tee. We do rely on comments like this to make improvements. With that said, addressing whether or not a product needs to be redesigned can take time. We definitely hear you and our design team looks to reviews just like this one when it comes time to make changes.

Bring back the mainstay
Please bring back the old mainstay tee. It was my go to t-shirt. I own several and I am due for a refresh. This new one is too short, boxy, wide neck, and basically a totally different shirt. How about making it new sku and bringing back the classic mainstay? Thanks
Loved this shirt so much that I bought a second one. I know a lot of people don't like this new cut as much as the older version but I don't have that to compare it too and really love how this one fits. I am 5-3/120lbs and bought the medium because I wanted a looser fit and its perfect.
I love this tee shirt! It fits perfectly and it's soft. I bought almost every color. Hoping for more color options so I can get more. It's durable and goes well with shorts and pants.
The 2022 tee is approximately 2-3" wider in the trunk area, and approximately 2" shorter than the 2021 off-white tee. This makes for a boxier shirt that is just simply not flattering. Also the crew neckline is larger than before. I prefer the smaller crew neckline.
The 2021 tees fit like a glove-- I seriously wear these everywhere, for ... Read Moreall of my workouts, under all my flannels and jackets. The fabric is unmatched. I just simply LOVED how you used to make these.
Hello Sasha! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're really sorry to hear about the disappointment with the fit changes. We did redesign this shirt for Spring 22'. That said, we'll share your feedback regarding the changes with our design team. Your satisfaction is always guaranteed so you're welcome to [return](https://www.patagonia.com/returns.html).

Simple but stylish
This piece looks so simple but its beautifully constructed and drapes so well. It can be dressed up or down. I have this piece in 3 colors and its my go to.
This is by far the BEST t-shirt out there. The fit is right on, the sleeves are cut beautifully to accentuate the upper arm above the biggest part of the biceps (think Michelle Obama), neckline is perfect, and the weight is fantastic for hot weather. Colors are colorfast. I have 5 of these shirts! LOVE THEM.
I have worn the Mainstay tee for several years and always loved it. I own 8 of these tees! However, there appears to be a new version that has a very different fit. For starters the neckline has gone from more of a crew neck to a scoop neck. The newer fit is an inch or two shorter, has a larger pocket, and now includes side slits. Overall, just fee... Read Morels smaller for the same shirt, in the same size. Will be returning the 2 new versions I just purchased. Why change a good thing? Please bring back the previous fit! FYI, the model is wearing the newer fit. Several of the shirts in the color option photos appear to be the previous fit. I rated this 1 star because it is deceptive to sell 2 different products under the same name. They are not the same!!!
Joining others here to express my disappointment with the redesign, which is too short, has overly large pocket, and needless side vents. Old shirt was the perfect Mainstay for my wardrobe. Now it has gone back, sadly, as a return.
Thank you for this feedback, Karen. We will pass it along to our product designers. Please let us know if we can help you find an alternative you'll be happier with!

Flattering and comfortable
It's a really nice fit, nice enough to wear to work, and the color looks great with many shorts/pants
These are a summer staple for me that I wear daily. I have been buying these for years and have them in many colors. Just as a small complaint with the new design...I actually prefer the collar on the older version as it lays flat a little better. Love the new colors with the new design!
Its light, cool and comfortable to wear, I have several, I use it every day. They wash well, I dont put it in the dryer, I hang dry them, and it never lose it shape. Very well made.
Along with all the others the redesign last year was TERRIBLE. Its obvious from the photos that there has been another redesign but it isnt obvious what has been changed. Before we waste time and money on ordering and returning, Patagonia please tell us what has been updated. Without that being clear my review is based on last years version. Its bo... Read Morexy and unflattering with a great fabric.
Hey Alex, thank you for the review. We're sorry for the frustrating shopping experience, and have passed your suggestions along to our web team for further consideration. In the meantime, please reach out to our [customer service team](https://help.patagonia.com/s/) if you suspect there has been a redesign and we'd be happy to give you all the details. It looks like the last redesign for this tee was in Spring '22. We removed external branding, shortened the length and gave it an overall shorter fit than previous versions.

Redesign fail
Mainstays *were* my holy grail. I literally got compliments on a white tee shirt, multiple times! I have probably six that are still standing after years of wear, but I always want more. Unfortunately, this redesign is the nightmare I've been anticipating in this frustrating Age of Cropping. This new cut is unflattering for a start *and* impra... Read Morectical in that I would have to be fussing with it and thinking about it whether it's riding up while doing things like setting up camp, portaging, etc. Exactly the antithesis of what I expect from Patagonia gear. PLEASE just bring back the old fit. Have a "Classic Mainstay" version and have "Crop Mainstay" version if you must, but please, pretty please, give us back the best tee that ever was.
We're very sorry that the new design is disappointing and we appreciate your feedback. Your purchase is covered by our Ironclad Guarantee and we welcome you to return it to our [Patagonia-owned store in your area](https://www.patagonia.com/store-locator/). You might prefer the length and design of our Women's Side Current Tee or Work Pocket Tee. Thank you for your review, Gina!

Mainstay tee
I bought 3 colors in the original style shirt and I was overjoyed that a t shirt could fit as well and also maintain its shape after multiple washings. Please bring back the original shirt and I will purchase every color. I wear it casually as well as under a jacket for work.
Hi Laura! Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We're sorry to hear about the disappointment with the changes made. That said, we appreciate the request to bring back the original style and we'll share this with our design team.

Good Shirt
I have bought this t shirt from the very beginning. I have noticed some of the reviews and yes this design is different. It takes getting used to.
What people are complaining about regards to length, I disagree. I wear shorts from Lulu-lemon in the summer and tights in the winter. (California) The tight fit of the bottoms causes me to have to tuck... Read More the shirt in and it bunches up with a longer shirts that the original shirts are. I like the shorter style and even would like it a little shorter.
The size xs I do is bigger and would like to see that sized down more like the original.
The larger pocket you can actually put things in and it covers my breast in a good way.
Overall it is good. A little smaller cut when making the next batch is what I would like though. I cannot size down on a xs.
I love you Patagonia. <3
This is the first Mainstay t-shirt I've purchased and I love it. I read many of the previous reviews and it seems people are not happy with whatever changes were made. I love the neckline (not so typical high t-shirt crew neck) and side slits. I haven't washed it yet- if it shrinks, I will be unhappy, as it will be too short. I usually do... Read Moren't put t-shirts in the dryer so we'll see. This has some polyester in it so that make minimize any shrinkage.
This has been my favorite t-shirt for years and I have several in different colors. The new design has a larger neck opening, slits on the side, shorter sleeves, wider chest width, and a shorter length. Not flattering and I hope you return to the old design, which, when combined with the colors and fabric, was nearly perfect for a daily t-shirt.
We're truly sorry to hear that we missed the mark with this redesign. We always hope we are taking a step forward when we redesign a product but do apologize for the disappointment this change may have brought you. We went ahead and reached out to you via email to offer some help with your return. We also passed your thoughts along to our Design Team. Thank you so much for your feedback.

The Perfect Tee
Got a whole bunch of them this late spring and they fit so well that I have not wore any other t-shits. Soft and quality cotton.
I have a few of these tees and they've been my go to favorite shirt. I ordered one with the recent update, hated it & returned it. The neck line is weird, not the class crew I loved; also the pocket is huge! The new style isnt flattering at all! Just looks sloppy.
I have been building my collection of these tees for sometime now. No joke, there were nine of them in my laundry last week. I wear them to do errands, yard work, go to the gym, hiking, running and lounging. The fabric is lightweight, but I have only found the white to be too sheer for my liking. That said if the fabric was any lighter it would not... Read More be a good thing in my opinion. The are great in warm weather, high output activities, indoors or layered. Please bring back the three quarter sleeve version - I love that it feels slightly dressier and works well with vests.
I bought this style because I wanted something simple with no logo. I prefer 100% cotton but was willing to try this. Overall it's a nice enough fit, but the body is a bit wider than I'd like. The shoulders are fitted which is okay. Going up a size is too baggy in the body and sloppy looking. The length of this top is good. Would love to ... Read Moresee other colors.
l loved the older version of this tee. Please bring it back. While the fabric feels the same , the fit is not flattering. It is boxy and I do not like side slits. Seems I am not alone. Hopefully my favorite pocket tee will return soon!
I read the reviews prior to ordering these ( I have 3 from last year and love them) and was worried I wouldn't like them. I just got them and love the redesign! The relaxed neckline is great and the shortened length is perfect for me, as I am short waisted, so, I actually like this fit better than the old version!
Agree with others on boxy fit & desire to bring back old style
I love the quality & color choices but HATE the redesign. Like others have said, it's just boxy, a bit shorter in length and also shorter in sleeves. Also I found the tag on the inside of the shirt to be extremely scratchy against my waist. I had to carefully tear it out because any remnants of the tag was scratching my skin.
I absolutely... Read More love Patagonia and I'll certainly keep wearing the Mainstay shirts I purchased that are the new version, but I really hope they can bring back the much loved classic style/fit.

Not a fan of the 2022 redesign.
I have six of these tshirts from 2021 that are perfect. Not at all a fan of the shorter length and added side slits in the 2022 redesign. Took a perfect, comfortable basic tee (which is so hard to find) and totally ruined it. Hope to see a change back to the old design in the future.

I used to love this shirt. It was my go to for travel and just something casual to wear. I am disappointed my the new upgrade. The shirt is boxy now.

beautiful material and color and fit
Beautiful material (soft) and color and fit. Exactly what I need for the summer months. Will buy some more in different colors
I bought 2 of these shirts for the summer. I didnt realize the design changed. The fit is now boxy and shorter. The fabric is great and the colors beautiful. I preferred the old style which was my go to summer shirt. If I buy more I will go down to size medium because of the fit.
Have numerous of these T-shirts that I love. Do not like the new ones at all, please bring back the old style. Hate the shorter sleeves and the boxy shape.
This new design is a poor fit on me. Too short and boxy. Was hoping for new colors in the old version of the shirt which was perfect. Please consider bringing that back with these color options. Thank you
Hello, thank you for providing us with this feedback on our Mainstay Pocket Tee. The main difference that has been noted on the newest version of this shirt is shorter length and a slimmer fit. The style is currently measuring smaller than intended but it is slated to have that issue corrected for Fall '22. It sounds like the length was the main issue for you. You might be interested in checking out our [Women's Side Current Tee](https://www.patagonia.com/product/womens-side-current-tee/52425.html?dwvar_52425_color=SGRY&cgid=root) which is a similar style but a bit longer.

see description below
I agree with many of the reviewers regarding last year's design of this tee shirt. I have 6 or 7 of these in size small from last year. They are my absolute favorite tee shirts....the light feel of the fabric, the design and fit are perfect for me. Saw a difference in the new design and read the reviews before I purchased the blue color which ... Read MoreI love. Will not purchase it now. Don't want shorter sleeves, larger neck, shorter length and slits on the bottom. Please go back to old design!

Just Okay
I own several older mainstay tees. I returned 2 of these new tees and exchanged a third for a smaller size because I like the medium blue color. The XS fits well enough to keep, but I agree with several of the other reviews about the changes, so for me this shirt is just okay. I hope you will go back to the old design of this tee!
thankful someone finally removed that label at the side that stuck out , I always cut it off of this basic T
and now its gone! yay!! the large fits perfect , I can wear a medium also but prefer the looser fit on the large, the side vents don't seem to fit the vibe of this T but they are a nice detail, I'll be purchasing more of this basic... Read More great fitting T
more colors please and thank you
I have 8 different colors of the previous version. I wear them almost every day and they are the best fitting, most comfortable shirts I have found. This new version is wider, shorter, and has slits on the sides. They are not flattering and will be going back. Im sad my favorite shirts are gone!
Hey there Leah! Thanks for taking the time to write a review on our Patagonia Women's Mainstay Pocket Tee. We're sorry to hear that we dropped the ball on this revision.

Bring Back the Original
I have 7 Mainstay T-shirts. I live in this shirt and was excited to buy some new colors. I had no idea that the whole shirt has been remade.

I have 5 of these tees purchased last year. I ordered 3 more this year not knowing the design was different.

The overall fit is loose. The older ones are great for memy favo... Read Morerite tees. The new ones might be good for some, tho.

Love it!
This shirt fits me incredibly well. I'm a 38DDD and finding something that doesn't pull across the chest without hanging to my knees is difficult.

Boxy unflattering new cut
I have 2-3 of the mainstay tees from the previous generation. Ordered these not knowing they had completely changed the cut. What was once my favorite go to t shirt is now at least two inches shorter and boxy. Going back.
