Half Decent Plain T-Shirts?

[UnderOpenSky]

I do remember quite a long thread about this a few years ago, but can't actually remember what it's called. Anyway I could do with some new plain black t-shirts for work. I actually hate shopping though and would much rather order online, but find it a bit hit and miss quality wise. I tried getting some fruit of the loom ones from Amazon, but they were awful, had a really strange feel and fit about them.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Vaguely ethical would be a bonus.

not sure about ethical but next do some reasonable black tshirts that don't feel horrible after a few washes

Mark’s and Spencer’s do a good range in a range of sizes including strange shapes, extra long, tailored etc

Only few quid and last forever

I thought Loot Of The Flume were meant to be good on ethics and quality.

Gildan Ultra.

I had a Gildan one that lasted for absolutely bloody ages now you say it.

I think it had my company’s logo printed on it…

Yeah, I think they are mainly sold in bulk for that kind of thing.
I buy them for work. Excellent colour choice, dirt cheap, good fit and last long.
Must be Ultra though, not so keen on the others.

The only slight thing (that doesn’t bother me but might others) is they need a little stretch after washing. No big deal, they are fine after that.

I've bought a couple of multipacks from Rapanui which are decent quality for the money. I think they fulfill the vaguely ethical in some way I haven't looked into properly requirement too.

I used to get t-shirts from some surfing gear companies - sure I would still have them if I hadn’t grown out of them, but they were both printed and not cheap.

I have a really old Banksy t that I bought for about a fiver in Camden market about 20 years ago that is still going strong.

Gildan Ultra.

Thanks. As they are on Amazon and I can buy just one with no postage I thought I'd give it a try.

Superdry t-shirts also seem to be made for people who aren’t human-shaped.

Charles Wilson off Amazon.

Good quality, decent thickness, nice fit and very fair price.

I'd second Gildan of the mass market t-shirts - they have the best fit & quality IME. All the vaguely ethical ones that aren't expensive I've tried have been pretty shit, so if it's just beater t-shirts for work buy Gildan
