I hate doing this, but here goes...

I'm after some plain t-shirts. Nothing fancy, just a normal crew-neck t-shirt that isn't horribly thin or have a stupid droopy neck and doesn't go nasty after a few washes. The standard high-street chains are pretty awful at the moment in terms of fit (everything is slim/skinny) and quality (everything is suddenly paper-thin), so does anyone know anywhere else to try?

Burtons - Used to be good, quality went right down hill last few years.

Topman - Quality has always been awful.

River Island - Same as above.

H&M - Tight in the shoulders.

Next - A bit too small, quality is rubbish.

M&S - Quality is much better, nice 'weight' but goes horrible after x washes. Fit in the neck is nice but shoulders are too baggy.

Primarni - Up and down with quality. Tried last month and the t-shirts are just really strange fits with REALLY droopy necks. Material weight seemed okay.

Matalan - Fit is a little off, but not terrible. Material is too heavy/thick.

Tesco own - Fits in the shoulder nicely but neck is droopy.

Any ideas, folks? Something so simple shouldn't be such a ball-ache.
 
Subbed.

I have the same issue. I got some good ones from BHS about 10 years ago, but they were coloured, one mustard, one brown and one orange.

Damned if i can find a good fittin regular white tee.
 
I got a load from Primark recently for using at work at they've been durable enough and the fit was fine for me. You must just be a strange shape :p
 
I have broad shoulders, nothing unusual. A standard t-shirt that fits in the torso will be very tight in the shoulders. If I get it comfortable in the shoulders, the torso becomes a sail.

Compound that with the stupid fashion at the moment, it's driving me up the wall. :o

The only t-shirts that seem to have an ideal fit at the moment are by Quicksilver.

Tight in the shoulder. :(
 
Check out the suppliers designer T Shirt makers use, the blank shirts can usually be had for cheap on ebay etc.

American Apparel, Continental, Screen Stars are a few off the top of my head.

I find primark tshirts to be to wide from the middle down which makes them look like your wearing a size to big.

my best fitting tshirts are XL ones from america oddly enough the UK XL sizes for nike , adidas etc were like tent's on me...

Jeans are my biggest gripe being tall they all seem either to tight or to lose in the thigh and the crotch areas are usually stupidly oversized and make it look like I have an erection when I'm sitting down :@

I'd love to be a normal size where clothes aren't simply scaled up and poorly fit
 
Fruit of the loom can be good for plain T-shirts(the long sleeve T-shirt I got did not have a droopy collar).

As for stores you also have Peacocks and ASDA also.
