unfortunately my favorite t shirt is the kapital gauze t w the chest pocket
runner up are the really big niche seed packet tees
i’m stupid
I mostly have graphic tees and imma be honest, as long as the graphic is cool/means something to me the blsnk is not all that important.
Uniqlo U crew neck tee shirt
are you trolling
because i’m going to use the inputs from this thread and if you’re trolling ill send you live hornets
Nope, I genuinely like the tee shirt
It fits me well
Beyond that, Bronson tees are pretty solid for the price, though at times a wee bit heavy for summer.
Overall im in camp "keep it simple" when it comes to tees.
And it's like 25$
swag
I like my Bronson/Non Stock t-shirts, but probably difficult to recommend now for US buyers
they’re still pretty cheap, no?
If I speak
Yeah, but possible tariffs make them not nearly as good value as they were
I have two favorite tees
Tezomeya to me represents a lot of what I crave in a t shirt. The natural dyes look so beautiful to me in person, the knit is very organic looking, and I get them in the biggest size and like the sort of saggy looking fit (but would go even bigger if I could)
My lemaire tees are actually really great too. I jumped on my first one because it was very cheap and got hooked on them. The cut is perfectly boxy, and the cotton/linen blend ones feel so so nice
And yeah I like the uniqlo u ones too
Got into baby tees this year but then when it got hot I realized how kind of impractical they are, they’re too close to the pits :xd:
They look sick though :nooooo:
I wish Tezomeya had a boxier option available
Me too
i will promise you, everything else will get equally more expensive, so they will still be good value.
I like just on the edge of being able to fit in their biggest size
for cheap undershirts, shoplift target goodfellow.
otherwise i like my whitesville tees a lot for a nicer tee. i also really like arpenteur’s rachel mesh tees but the price is crazy.
otherwise i just kind of wear whatever decent graphic tee i have on hand tbh. i like imogene and willie tees but i prefer finding graphic tees out in the wild instead of some original design from a brand
buck mason linen blend knit tee i had was great until it completely fucking fell apart for no reason so i understand why it got discontinued
True
And I'm not small but not really big either
what’s so good about these? just curious but also scared to be cursed with knowledge
extremely comfy
very soft
cut is fairly wide but doesn’t look exceptionally boxy
honestly i’m surprised this is $150 i thought kapital would just make it $200 at least
i got it secondhand for like $50 else i probably wouldn’t have sprung for it
so if anyone has recs for big soft tees…….
it’s $80 on their webshop too, not too shabby. next time i’m importing crap (if that ever happens again at this point), i’ll probably just tack that on
yet another expensive tee rec but I grabbed one from FilMelange that was in stock at a local store after trying it on, satisfyingly thick (but not too thick), but mostly incredibly soft. like it a lot. I could maybe nit pick the cut of it if I really wanted to but it just feels too nice to wear to really care that much.
I just got a couple of Big John loopwheeled tees and they feel good. It didn't shrink from a wash as much as I expected.
I also really like the merino tee from Outlier.
Haven't looked at their website in a while, if they just did this with a 23-24 p2p measurement, that would be ideal: https://global.tezomeya.com/products/womens-box-tee-short-sleeve

Women's Box Tee Short Sleeve
This relaxed-fit T-shirt has a boxy silhouette for a comfortable fit. It is made from the same loop wheel organic cotton as our staple T-shirts. Available in short sleeves and three-quarter sleeves. *Click here to order 3/4 sleeve. -material: 100% organic cotton
wythe all day long
Lady White Co t's are really good but I’ve honestly reverted to just wearing Carhartt K87/K126 [ pre-2022 new logo 😦 ] or graphic t’s from Cactus Store. I have a couple vintage ones and other “shop” ts, and one from Camber that is like wearing a brick wall but I’m excited to see how it breaks in. I got my wife a t from Everybody.world and it’s great from a color/fit/feel perspective too.
i bought two t shirts from uniqlo lol and they arrived today :P. this TOTD is well timed.
I really like knit tees. Roberto collina makes great ones for the price, around $25-50 if you wait for a sale.
Actually wearing one of my favorites today
big fan of LWC, the cotton on their Our Tee is nuts. soft, crisp, thin, and holds up to wash and abuse so well
I kinda wanna switch to Iron Heart shirts for basics but that's probably years off for my current shirts to degrade
I like the cut through the boxy but need longer sleeves - I like them solidly down to the elbow
Their photos are so funny/unclear - this is the best one I can find of their standard tee and the dude looks like he is trying to hide from the photo shoot. I just sized up in this and it works for me
Jumping on the Bronson bandwagon tbh.
Also: a lot of my fav tattoo artists do their t-shirts on gildan heavy cotton blanks which are surprisingly good, if maybe a bit long.
The best summer/undershirt sort of tees I have are WTAPS Skivvies. I'm sure theres plenty of other folks making something really similar, but can't argue at the price either of ~36 GBP for a 3 pack.
Most of my Ts are Reigning Champ.
Really like the heavyweight Outlier cotton Ts I own.
I have a Celine, MMM & a John Eliot T that I also really like to wear.
Unironically either gildan heavy cotton or comfort colors blanks, at least for like “child’s drawing of a t shirt” type shirt
wythe shirts look sick ill be noting this
I’ll shop around more for stuff I want to specifically fit cropped or big or whatever but even then I tend to just size up/crop/etc the cheapo gildans
keep an eye on nomanwalksalone for sales, recently grabbed a 3 pack for $50
If you’re terribly dumb like i am the best shirt ive ever bought is the mister freedom stanley shirt. You pay a premium for em but i truly have not found a shirt i like better
i’m gonna crash out
i can feel a psycho bunny polo thread in my future
jungmaven maybe? they have varying degrees of "big" tees depending on mood
my favorite t-shirts are vintage graphic tees from screen stars so ig search ebay for one that isn't offensive
alternatively, i suppose i'm one of the lucky people that haven't had issues with uniqlo supima cotton tees (in fairness i washed small loads with cold water and hang/tumble dryed no heat which helped); if you're someone that doesn't wear tees all that much it may be worth rolling the dice on something relatively easy to replace
I've never had problems with those T's either, but everyone here hang drys stuff
I‘m gonna be honest I like when T-shirts have a small neck hole and are fitted at the waist so I usually wear children‘s shirts💀
Just seems like the economical decision considering children's clothes are so much cheaper
are they still releasing those?
idk
I tried and failed to get them when NMWA was selling them
Ikiji wool tees my newest favorite.
to be real the Abercrombie premium heavyweight cropped tee fits me better than any other in my life and they go onsale for $20
