Location: CTX | KRJ1791 - 2018-07-31 3:02 PM I am looking for opinions on the Thunderbird, CR Ranch and MSport6 shirts. Good, the bad the ugly. How do they wear? How do they fit? How well do they Launder? And suggestions on ordering? Only know something about the Msport6 shirts. I love them. They hold up very good in the laundry, are comfortable to wear and since they have a zipper (in most of them) I don't have to wear a tank top underneath them. Also love the designs they have.
You can search facebook by entering Msport6 or the airconditioned shirt and they will giv eyou more information as to where you can buy them. They will have sales every now and then, and that really makes them much more affordable.
ETA, the sleeves are longer than most shirts, so they won't ride up as much. And they are longer in the back also, which I like because they won't pop out of your jeans while riding.
Size wise, they do run a bit big, so I would go down a size.

| I wanted to LOVE Thunderbird but dang do they run tiny. I am a consistent size medium, and after buying/returning I got an XL and even that isnt wearable. Now, I am a sturdy gal - muscular, athletic build with shoulders.. so maybe they are geared toward the more slender, straight up and down - built gals. Can't comment on how they wash since I've never worn mine. :( |

Location: North of where I want to be | I watch the TB sale page on Fb and it really seems that A LOT of people get them and the size is WAY off. I like the look of them but that is a pile of money to end up with a shirt that you cannot wear or return.
I found a really nice MS6 shirt for less than 1/2 of new. I am a bit more athletic in built and have shoulders. I like fabric that breathes & moves.
I think the CR Ranch shirts have a cleaner look to them. Again expensive, but a bit more reasonable than the TBs.
Anyone wear the Rodeo Karma shirts? |

| TBs are soooooo small and I was NOT impressed with the quality of the material, especially for the price.
MSports6, I have several friends who like them, haven't tried them yet.
I LOVE CR. LOVE. The material is fantastic and they launder very well. If you're gonna spend $$, do it with them. MADE IN USA. |

While we love the CR shirts, find it ironic when you go to buy a vest/coat, their logo is on a vest/coat that is not made in America. These were at a cutting show.

Oh really? I never noticed that, but I've never bought any other clothing from them. Well, I guess they have to cut costs somewhere.  |

| I love the MSport6 shirts. So comfortable and I love that in the heat of summer they breath so you dont sweat to death :) Well worth the money. Like someone else said, you can find them on facebook and lots of people have great sales. |

Location: Northern Ontario | I loved the tb and cr brand shirts( in pics any) but I am in Canada so by the time the exchange, customs, and shipping are paid, they come out to more than 200$ a shirt. I made this one from fabric found in my moms basement

That is beautiful and I commend you for making it yourself. It will probably hold up better too. I could not find a particular shirt that I wanted so I just ordered some fabric I liked and saw another piece that was neat so ordered it. Will post pics when I get them made. You gave me the incentive to get in gear. Thanks. Again pretty shirt. |

My degree is in home economics! Quit sewing because quality fabric is so hard to get. Just found a super place on line that has nice stuff. |
