Looking for a New T-Shirt Brand with Great Quality and Fit for Slimmer Body Types - Recommendations?

Submitted by No-Neighborhood205 t3_122pdp0 in BuyItForLife

Up until now, I've always purchased basic T-shirts from "Scotch and Soda." They fit me perfectly, look great, and above all, have excellent quality that hardly shows signs of wear even after years. Recently, I wanted to buy some more and discovered that they have changed the T-shirts, resulting in the sleeve length no longer fitting and, unfortunately, a decline in quality. Therefore, I am now searching for a similar brand that offers simple, plain T-shirts for slimmer body types.

I think Los Angeles Apparel is made by the same original creator (idk tho for sure) after American apparel was purchased by big corp

I don’t care how little you sweat, 6 wears between washes on a T-shirt is kinda gross.

Know that Patagonia has different cuts on their different shirts. The responsibili tees have oddly long sleeves. I think the dude in the video might have been reviewing the organic cotton tees? I don’t think he said.

Honestly in terms of cost per wear the Goodfellow ones from target compete with the most premium tees out there. They fit well too. They're like 6 bucks and better quality/fit consistency than main line j crew and similar brands.

Worst clothes I’ve bought. They don’t last

The t shirts specifically? I'm only advocating for those, not their other clothing. For 6 bucks they've lasted longer than t shirts 7-10x the cost for me.

Polo Ralph Lauren is my favorite long lasting t-shirt. I’m limited to tall sizes tho.

I bought my first Wool& tee and loved it. The fact that I can wear it multiple days between washes and even when I smell sweaty, the shirt still smells fresh? Totally awesome. They're so expensive but for a shirt I can wear all week that will hold up for longer than a cheap tee, I think it's worth it. Plus biodegradable & sustainable material.

Is this company an Icebreaker competitor? I’ll have to check it out if so!

Mack Weldon and Rhône. UNIQLO are solid and are on the cheaper side

I can’t suggest a brand, but I can offer a possible solution. It’s also not a practical solution for most people. But, it’s worth considering if you have a perfect fitting piece of clothing that you can’t replace.

You could clone your T-shirt. Just search YouTube for “cloning clothing” and you’ll get plenty of tutorials. Obviously you’ll need to be comfortable with using a sewing machine or know someone that is, but it’s relatively easy to do.

It’s definitely limited to DIY though, as I suspect asking a local tailor to do this would be costly.
