ComfortSoft Tagless Crewneck T-Shirt (5280)
About the original
The Hanes ComfortSoft Tagless Crewneck T-Shirt (model 5280) is a 5.2-ounce, 100% cotton undershirt with a lay-flat collar, double-needle coverseamed neck, and shoulder-to-shoulder taping for shape retention. Hanes has operated from Winston-Salem, North Carolina since 1901, when it was founded by John Wesley Hanes as Shamrock Mills, and sells the 5280 as a multi-pack staple in nearly every American drugstore and big-box retailer. The Tagless construction, a printed neck label rather than a sewn-in tag, was introduced in 2002. The Supreme version prints a black-and-white checkerboard pattern across the standard 2-pack and ships in the same cellophane bag, with a box logo sticker on the front.
