At Christmas we got this for Seth, my 11-year old son, and he loves the shirt. The huge number of Marvel characters seems to be a center of discussion when he wears it. He knows them all and always goes around "testing" people to see how many of these comic book heroes they know. It is already fading some though, with the front colors getting duller sooner than I think they should. Having said that, he wears it so much that maybe it's just so much wearing it and laundrying between that has seemed to fade the colors a little quicker than they should.
