I haven't tried them either, but I'm interested to hear what you find out, AM. What type of tee are you looking for? Light for layering? Substantial for wearing alone? Fitted? Loose? What kind of fabric?

(Sheesh, look at all those question marks. Don't mean to be grilling you!)

carter: I'm really not familiar with many blogs but I'm glad to see some love for this brand on her blog. Thanks! Very helpful.

Aliona: Yes. Light for layering and substantial to wear alone. Interesting cuts, interesting fabrics. Something for very casual (and comfortable) but with a little something special. And I don't want linen. Any thoughts?

For some reason I'm thinking CocoLion might have some. I might be misremembering...

I have a bunch of them - I used to love them - the fit, the styles, the soft fabric, etc. I haven't purchased any in the last couple of years though. They seem way too expensive for the see-through fabric that most of them are made out of these days! But then, I don't wear t-shirts much anymore either - so there's that . . .
(The ones that I own have all held up well.)

I have one that I bought on sale two years ago. Even on sale it was more than I usually pay for tees. The fabric is soft, and it washes well. But I find that I don't often reach for it. Would not buy another online, but maybe if I were able to try on in-store I would have better luck. I've been happier with tees from LLBean and Eddie Bauer.

I've had a couple of them over the years - but never found they were worth the $$. They tend not to hold shape and last very long because of the sheerness of the knit. Not my fave. I love Three Dots and Current Elliot t's right now.

Thanks all. Some satisfaction and some caution.
I went for it and purchased a few from Marshals (discount store). Maybe I'll wear one and test drive for results. Much appreciated.

lisap: Thanks for other recommendations. Three dots (years ago) was always particularly snug on my while these very roomy.
