They have plenty of the Under Armour shirts at the bookstore.

It seems to be a size issue maybe. I need a 3X which is only listed on the website in 1 color. Though if anyone wants to find one in the store and ship it to me I will send you a check.

Wow...100% polyester. Think I will wait until someone remembers how to make a cotton shirt.

Well, you are going to be waiting a while. Guess you don't buy under armour. Pretty standard stuff when it comes to "performance" wear these days. Lst year's shirt was the same way. I love that shirt.

"Wow...100% polyester. Think I will wait until someone remembers how to make a cotton shirt"

The Nike Dri Fit and other top brands are all using polyester.....
it has had a huge resurgence in golf wear and other outdoor wear. Cotton still sells great, but the new polyester microfiber shirts are the cutting edge of sportswear. Polyester used to mean cheap low quality, but not any more.

It breathes so much better than cotton, does not wrinkle and does not stick to your skin in hot weather the way cotton does.

"Recently, polyester has experienced resurgence with the advent of microfibers. A great increase in softness and wearability has been paired with marketing campaigns aimed to promote polyester as a wash and go fabric, as opposed to simply being inexpensive. Polyester fabric can be found in high-quality, wrinkle resistant shirts, pants, and costumes, as well as in bedding and home dÃƒÂ©cor. Polyester fleece is popular in wetsuits and other garments that require heat retention and insulation, and the fabric is immensely popular in outdoor applications, such as overcoats, sleeping bags and climbing suits. PolyesterÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s uses go beyond clothing, as it can be found in plastic bottles, ropes, even fancy balloons. Polyester fabric is a truly remarkable material which lends strength, warmth and durability to any project"

The color looks close to the true SMU blue.

Reminds me of the worst tie I have ever received...on the label it proudly proclaimed "made of 100% genuine imported polyester", even the designer knew it was lousy.
