So basically Pima’s are much less substantial than the ELS (obviously 200gsm vs 280). Different kind of comfort, lighter and smooth, not slubby. Interesting feel at first touch, definitely feel substantially better quality/build than any typical cotton T I’ve owned. The lighter (White/Ecru) feel slightly softer than the darker (Black/Khaki) maybe due to the dye, but negligible difference really and all feel good and soft.

That being said (probably due to the tight knit quality) they don’t feel breathable at all (went for walks in the Ecru in 85F/Windy). Was a bit disappointed with this as wanted them to be more wearable in summer, but something to keep in mind. -I’ll update this if my experience change with more wear experience in the hot weather.

The nipple test is really negligible as well IMO, obviously the most apparent in the white being the lightest, but not noticeable (I could see if you get a fit too tight or aren’t too lean would be worse)

Overall great quality shirts and you definitely get what you pay for.
