Hanes Innovates With New Power Slim Fit Tee & Tagless Underwear (Exclusive & Video)
Welcome & Thanks for Visiting UndershirtGuy.com!Man, I’ve been just dying to share this Hanes news with you, but things have been so crazy over here at Tug HQ, it all slipped through the cracks!! Doh, sorry about that folks.
News Highlights:
- Hanes Launches New Power Slim Tee!! Yes, a Slimming/Shapewear Tee/Undershirt from Hanes!!! I’m super excited about this and can’t wait to try it out!
- Hanes Launches New Premium Slim Fit Tee. Same great feeling 50/50 fabric used in ComfortBlend, but with a slimmer cut
- Hanes Goes Tagless Across All Men’s Underwear
Premium Power Slim & Premium Slim Fit Tee (Exclusive Info)
This is pretty awesome news in my book on both product offerings, but what’s even more exciting is that I’ll be able to tell you exactly where to get them because they aren’t sold everywhere across the country and can only be purchased at SELECT TARGET STORE LOCATIONS.
Thanks to the kind folks at Hanes, not only did they load me with some great information about these two new products, they also sent me a list of the exact Target stores that are currently carrying them (map below)! The Map is interactive, so you can either put in your State or Zip Code in the Search box (upper right of Map) and it’ll show you the closest Target Store that should carry one or both products.
If the Power Slim Fit Tee performs even reasonably well, at $10 per undershirt, I think it could become my new favorite shaping undershirt pretty quickly. We’ll see.
Also, I’m a pretty big fan of the ComfortBlend 50/50 from Hanes, so I’m equally as excited to try out the new Premium Slim Fit Tee because I’m a sucker for a close fitting undershirt. Since the product has 50% polyester, it’ll have a great stretch to it and also offer a balance between wicking and absorbing performance. Quick blurb about how the Slim Fit compares to ComfortBlend:
The Hanes Premium Slim Fit shirt tapers in on the sides of the shirt for a slimmer fit, while tailoring the shoulders and arms slightly relaxed to avoid tension across the shoulders and pinching under the arms. Premium Slim Fit features 50/50 cotton/poly blend fabric, comparable to the popular Hanes ComfortBlend shirt, which creates a shirt that is lighter weight, naturally wicks, shrinks less and is quite durable.
Here’s a snapshot of the product details:

All Hanes Underwear Now Tagless
The media releases quickly spreading across the internet are about the announcement of Hanes new Tagless Underwear. Here’s a quick blurb from the company about the new product release:
Hanes has retired tags from all their men’s underwear! No more itchy, scratching or chafing from that annoying tag!
America’s No. 1 men’s underwear brand, Hanes, has gone Tagless across their entire men’s underwear line! To celebrate this milestone in comfort, they’ve launched a new ad campaign starring longtime spokesperson Michael Jordan. The campaign amplifies the annoyance of an uncomfortable tag by bringing it to life and giving the tag irritating traits that drive people crazy.
The company has also developed a comprehensive “Media Release” page that not only covers the news itself, but it also provides the new TV commercials created to support the launch and also some fun Behind the Scenes clips and photos too. Here’s one of the new Tagless Underwear Commercials:
New/Updated ComfortBlend Product Line Details
Below you’ll find a complete list of all the new ComfortBlend tagless undershirts and underwear. I don’t know exactly where all the products are sold, but I did see some of the new ComfortBlend underwear at Target recently, so that would be a good starting place.

For those of you who use a Power Slim Fit, what size would suggest for someone who wears a Spanx size large? Should I go to a medium in this Haynes model?
Thanks!
- Steve
heya steve! my suggestion would be to pick your standard undershirt size, unless you’re between sizes. if you’re between sizes, you might want to size up.
i wear medium undershirts across the board (for a close fit) and the size medium hanes power slim fit undershirt fit me perfectly.
good luck and let me know what you think of them.
Thanks TUG, I’ll give it a whirl. At the price if I’m off by a size it’s not the end of the world, especially when compared to the spun gold costs of Spanx!
The sales of the Power Slim at Target stores must have been a test run. I bough a bunch of the clearance ones back in the fall. I wear a large slim fit shirt so I bought both large and medium. The mediums are a tighter fit and help with chest compression (that’s the only area I need – I’m 6’3″ 205).
Well, they are selling the slim fits [correction: power slims] again. Not as cheap as I got them on clearance, but still cheaper than other alternatives. I have seen them between $24.00 and $29.00 for a two pack. I just ordered six two-packs on the Kohl’s website. They have them buy one get one half off and since my total was high enough, I got free shipping. $108 total for 12 t-shirts. There was another site offering buy one get one half off with free shipping, but I like the option of being able to return them to a Kohl’s store if they are somehow different than the ones I bought at Target back in the fall.
Correction to the above…they are selling POWER SLIM shirts again. Didn’t want to confuse anyone.
Link to Kohl’s site where I bought them:

awesome, thanks for the intel anon! (:
wondering if hanes is:
1. testing power slim at kohls, or
2. clearing out power slim stock at kohls
inquiring minds want to know!
I just ordered a medium off the Hanes website:
http://www.hanes.com/clothing/men/big—tall/big—tall-underwear—socks/hanes-classics-power-slim-white-crewneck-undershirt?cm_vc=OnsiteSearch&cmFV=
The shipping sucks at $10, but Kohls is out of the white medium.
Might be coming out of test phase.
thanks mike! it’ll be interesting to see what hanes does with this power slim product!
I probably bought up all of the mediums! Sorry!
They are also buy one get one half off at JustMySize.com:

I also see them for sale at the hanes website, Sears.com, and onehanesplace.com.
Looks like they are available in black as well.
Funny, right after I posted the above comment, FedEx dropped off the shipment from Kohl’s at my door! I ordered just before midnight Wednesday night and they arrived Saturday via FedEx Home Delivery – no change.
The packaging is different that the ones I bought at Target (these ones are in thick “Zip-Lock” type bag instead of the cardboard sleeves) but the material feels the same. I’ll post later when I try one on. I want to shower first and then not put on deoderant – these shirts are tight going on and I sometimes get deoderant streaks down the sides when putting them on. Ha!
hey anon! thanks for the info. keep us posted.
tip: to remove those white deodorant marks from your darker shirts/undershirts, just rub the fabric from another part of the shirt on the deodorant marks and they should come out. you can also use other things like dryer sheets, white gym sock, your gf/wife’s pantyhose or nylon stocking, or a deodorant sponge.
mostly deodorant sponges like hollywood fashion secrets deodorant removing sponge, skid out, miss oops, etc. are marketed toward women, but companies like ‘hollywood fashion’ are making the same products for men, but just rebranding them (i.e. hollywood fashion secrets decent man’s deodorant & dirt removing sponge). damn, that’s a mouthful.
I’m wearing a medium right now. Same fit, feel, material, etc. Glad they are back.
I just drove 45 minutes to the only Target that seemed to have these Hanes Power Slim undershirts. I also bought the Evolve Shapewear ones since they were there too just to test them out. Here are the results:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FkFed52Iz9o/UEaAINUXiBI/AAAAAAAAAAk/gybHAIgAdZA/s1600/COMBI.jpg
As you can see on the link provided, I took pictures of me wearing both the medium and large Hanes shirts. (The Evolve SUCKED so I’m not posting them—totally returning those—because it was almost all spandex, so it made no improvements except feeling softer than the Hanes. They resembled Body Armour material and was way stretchier than Hanes Power Slims. I bought sizes medium and large.)
I wear large to extra large shirts, so I’m kind of in the middle of both, and I’m 6’1. For this test, I bought medium and large. I’m GLAD I didn’t buy anything smaller because these shirts are VERY hard to put on! They are TIGHT!! The improvements are obvious in the side view, especially with the medium shirt. The frontal and back views do not show much improvement, but I did notice the medium shirt again was just a bit more slimming than the large.
As for comfort, they were both very tight, with the large shirt having much more room around the shoulders and chest. The medium shirt was tight and I think I’ll have to get used to it, but I’m sure it won’t be bothersome down the road. And since I have noticeable man-boobs and a nice round gut, I’ll definitely be looking into more of the medium sized shirts. I also tried on both of these twice, to see if there was any stretch after wearing them. I noticed the large shirt was much easier to put on, so there will definitely be some noticeable stretching so keep that in mind.
So all in all, your silhouette (front or back view) won’t change much—but definitely squeezes your profile well. As I was at Target, I saw a Evolve girdle/boxer brief combo, where the boxers have a high elastic waist band that wraps over as high as your stomach area. I didn’t try those but maybe they might help more than these did to find improvements on your front/back silhouettes. As for finding these, they are scarce and are disappearing fast. I only found these at the Target in Westminster mall in all of SoCal, so plan your trips accordingly
hey ‘just bought’! oh man, thanks for sharing those photos and your thoughts on the hanes slim fit and evolve shaper.
next time i’m at target, i might see if those evolve shaper boxer-brief are there. i’ve been wanting to try those out for some time, but just never got around to it.
not sure what hanes’ long-term plans are for the slim fit tee, but i guess we’ll see. thanks again buddy!
I just left the Target by my office that stocked the slim fit undershirts and they are already on clearence. They never stocked the power slim fit. This is very unfortunate.
They seemed to have replaced this with some. We Jockey shirts. Have. It tried them as they look to be a looser fitting shirt.
TUG has Hanes ever responded to you about these shirts?
no news mr. mike ):
i just reached out to the pr folks at hanes to see what’s up.
i did hear about the new jky undershirts from jockey at target from another reader, but i don’t know anything about them yet. i did reach out to jockey, but they haven’t sent over the product details yet.
did you by chance have the upc of the new jky undershirts?? maybe i can find them at a target near me.
I did not grab any info on the Jockey items. I am in Omaha for travel right now, may see if I can hit a Target here to see what they have…
ok, keep me posted if you do!
