I’ve put a bit of timber on but this is getting ridiculous. The only ones I’ve found that don’t shrink in the wash are graphic tees from Qwertee and the like.

Any recommendations??

Next Level Apparel tshirts are about $6, very comfortable, and so far (about 1 year in) are holding up pretty well.

In case you didn’t realise why the downvotes, this is UK based and we can’t buy these. I’m assuming you just didn’t realise while browsing on all

Lol, you’re right, I didn’t check whether they ship to the uk. Tell ya what, if y’all downvoters want to pay for shirts plus shipping I’ll make an order and mail them to one of you for distribution. Are we square?

i got a few from next the other day as I too have added a little weight. everywhere else seems to target the anorexic male teen demographic.

Also Trespass are always having a sale of some sort, cheap and durable for hiking and such like

My wife got me 10 H&M tees about 5 years ago and the black still looks black. They’re about $5 each.

H&M are about to get their arse reamed out by the EU for the millions of tons of landfill of shitty clothes they produce every year

I’ve had to buy new t-shirts for the opposite reason - I need a number of pretty standard plain t-shirts for work, so bought a pack of Fruit of the Loom from Amazon. I’ve had quite a few over the years and they’re a good hardy cotton t-shirt that I’ve never had issues with.

edit: do we need a “t-shirts” community to go with the “mugs” one?

I got four FotL tees a few months ago and they’re holding up better than anything I’ve had before, especially the heavy ones.

Here’s the pack I bought, the black is a little off but they’d usually be worn under something else, so it’s no big deal.

I’ve bought packs of 3 Fruit of the Loom off Amazon UK - 3 different colours, 3 different marketplace vendors.

One set is perfect - heavy soft cotton, tidy seams. One set is a little coarse. One set is like sandpaper cotton, with jabby scratchy seams around the neck.

Good price, but I suspect that none of them are genuine FOTL.

Yeah, that was my conclusion - you’d think they’d keep a lid on such things on Amazon at least but it would be like playing Whac-a-mole.

I worked at Uniqlo back in 2018 and while working there I bought like 10-15 of their basic suprima t-shirts. I’m still using them daily. For a 10-15€ shirt (sometimes there are sales), I don’t see a point going for something else. Fit is pretty consistent across colors and years, light but not cheap feeling, good color options.

Quick edit: I’m in Germany, thus Euro, but they have stores in the UK too

Just checking and they do a plain quick-drying crew neck in white and grey for £9.90, although, mysteriously, the black version is £7.90.

They are aggressively pushing £10 off your first order, so if someone wanted to buy a handful it’d work out quite reasonably-priced. I might buy a few as I like a cotton-polyester mix.
