First I’d like to say that we have been dealing with clothing made from both companies for a long time and both are quality tactical clothing lines, especially if we compare them to many of their competitors.   We all know who the big tactical clothing companies are and judging by the number number of competitors, people are looking for something else.   I have been wearing a lot of 5.11 tactical, Eotac, Woolrich Elite and Blackhawk pants for years and I notice there are big sizing and fit differences.  I’ll leave quality control to another argument, we’ll just talk about fit for  now.

The Woolrich Elite Series Tactical clothing shirt in Style 44901 and the Eotac style 408 tactical shirts are virtually identical, but there is a big difference in the fit.  We get asked all the time if the shirts are the same, but they aren’t.   The Eotac shirts all seem to fit tighter in the shoulders and aren’t as over sized as the Woolrich Elite.  If I do a comparison of just how they fit in the shoulders, the 44901 shirt hangs over.   Woolrich Elite shirts are all a little roomier too.   I have to say that these shirts are more for military or LEO and not a very good CCW shirt because they look tactical.  You can carry a lot of stuff in them, but shirts with lots of pockets aren’t dressed down.   If you want something that fits you better and can be tucked in, the Eotac shirts seem to be better, if you want a looser larger fit, Woolrich Elite shirts will fit the bill.
