The North Face Uproots T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's - 2009 BCS

Very unique shirt, runs a bit large, I'm 5'8'' 155lb, should have bought the Small

This is the 5th or 6th North Face T-shirt that I have bought over the last 6 months. The other North Face T-shirts are totally awesome, fit great, nice and thick and were a good price. This one is the worst quality t-shirt that I have ever bought! It is paper-thin, so thin I can almost read a book thru it! Hold it up to a light and you can see right thru it! I went to take the shirt off normally and heard fabric tear, then I noticed that a small hole had appeared in the back near were the giant "North Face" tag is sewn into the paper thin fabric of the shirt! I do not mind paying 40.00 dollars for an organic cotton T-shirt if there is some amount of quality that I am purchasing for being earth friendly. However this is so bad in quality that either North Face is clearly taking advantage of the consumer and/or Backcountry has had this shirt on their shelf for so long because no one would pay 40.00 for a t-shirt, making it old and brittle!
I fell in love with the picture as well as the embroidered roots but feel extremely cheated every time I put it on. I also now have to gently hand wash this shirt because a washer will clearly tear it up as well as make the existing hole bigger. I guess I can look forward to owning a 40.00 dollar, embroidered dust cloth!!

I got this shirt the day it hit the market. Get tons of compliments. The embroidery on the bottom of the tree is sweet and adds some different texture to a normally Usual T shirt. I wear this thing all the time
