The shirt feels very soft. The fabric material that the shirt is made out of has the look and feel of a very high quality material. The material is similar to tri-blend, except with a higher concentration of viscose replacing the polyester. For those who like tri-blend but want a lower polyester percentage, this may be for them. The material is thin and seems breathable, a good choice for summer, or to wear as an undershirt. Having such a high percentage of viscose, the material has a lot of "drape" and is very form-fitting (this does not imply the shirt is tight), reveals the shape of the body more than an all-cotton shirt would. This shirt might not look the best on an overweight person, but is very comfortable. The material has almost a slight moderately silk-like sheen to it. The one bad thing to say about it, although the material seems "high quality" in many ways, I think they might have used a low quality cotton fiber in making the material (To be fair, cotton makes up only 35% of the material). I say this because I can see some tiny little white splotches in the fabric, little specks that did not absorb the dye. This might be due to small amounts of "grit" in the fiber, if the cotton was not brushed before being incorporated into the thread. You can't feel this grit at all wearing the shirt, the shirt is still very soft with fine fibers, and the little specks are not visible at all from a distance, unless you're holding the material right up to your eyes and looking closely. Some might say it almost looks like a normal part of the texture and coloration of the shirt. For those who do not know, viscose is chemically composed of cellulose, the same as cotton, so has several similarities to cotton, but also has some important differences. Viscose is softer than cotton, weaker than cotton, a little bit more absorbent of water than cotton, viscose bends more easily, what some might call "flimsy", has less rigidity than cotton. Viscose does not allow air to pass through as easily as cotton, but is still very absorbent of water/sweat and allows water vapor to pass through. Viscose conducts heat even a little better than cotton which makes viscose feel cooler to the touch. Viscose can add several benefits when incorporated into a fabric, but there are a couple of reasons why you would not want to have 100% viscose. Tencel Modal (in this shirt) is a higher quality form of viscose, somewhat stronger than normal viscose and a little more environmentally friendly.
