What t-shirts do you wear?

Haven't bought anything Superdry in many many years, but always found they were very small in sizing, much like Topman used to be. I remember getting an XL topman hoody back when I was 17/18 and it finished halfway down my forearm and came up to about my belly button. Never again :cry:

They now do larger sizes that fit normal humans and not designed for Italian teen footballers as I call some of the sizes available, like Topmans sizing as you say :cry:

Online do the XL and XXL and XXXL on checking their website.

Men's T-shirts designed designed to give you an edge. High performance, high quality and most importantly they fit great! Try the Ryderwear difference and see for yourself.

  1. The perfect fit: 3.5/10
    • This is a very nice t-shirt, and I can see why the price is what it is. The fit is a bit too "muscle fit" for an everyday t-shirt for me, however, it does have plenty of room in the chest while being plenty slim enough in the body.
      Potentially a bit too slim, I unfortunately don't have the body of an Adonis like their models, and as the body is on the slimmer/skinnier side, I can feel it gripping my little gut a bit.

      Saying that, it fits very well and if I was looking for a gym specific shirt i'd be stocking up on these.

      The material is thinner than I was looking for for an everyday t-shirt, but feels like in the gym it would be very cooling and would wick sweat away well. However, due to this thinness, if you have Power Nipples™ like myslef, not only are the pointies going to be on show but also the round base of the nip too. I wouldn't care in the gym, but stood in line at a coffee shop it could be a bit affronting :cry:
  2. Colours
    • A limited range but from the green a ordered, very pleasant!

      Not quite pastel, but not super "bright" like some colours are, a slightly "pre-washed" colour is the best way I can describe it. Nice and subtle!
  3. WASHABILITY!
    • Obviously yet to wash, but with a 65% Polyester/35% Cotton mix you'd think it would wash well and hold its shape. I've been told that a higher cotton percentage is what can cause tshirts to shrink easier, but time will tell and if I can remember I shall report back!
  4. Price
    • At £29.99 it is is on the more expensive side for a t-shirt, but I believe it is a fair price. It feels like a "technical" shirt more than a casual cotton job, so perfect for the gym/climbing/running or any other active pursuit.

I used to wear Banana Republic tshirts. But since the exited the UK I now just buy Uniqlo tshirts when they are on offer. However I recently bought some John Lewis own brand tshirts and they are really good. But tshirts are one of those things I don't want to spend a lot of money on. They always look tired after a while so I'd rather buy mid range (not cheapest) and replace them frequently.

They're £12.95 each. What sort of offers do you hope for when they become cheap enough?

Sometimes multibuy offers. I will buy them in advance when there are offers or discounts rather than waiting until I need them more urgently and pay full price (which would be a financially silly thing to do).
 
Uniqlo is here!

Went for the AIRism https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/produc...d-crew-neck-t-shirt-444999COL56SMA006000.html.

Bit undecided on it, certainly doesn't feel very "cotton like," almost feels more like a thicker football jersey type material?
  1. The perfect fit: 2/5
    • Very very "boxy" and oversized. I imagine this is more a current trend than anything else. The sleeves, like in the picture are very long and loose. I think this is better suited to the model in the pictures, much like the Ryderwear was, but where Ryderwear is aimed at more athletic builds, I think this would flatter a slighter frame more. A few rolls of the sleeves makes it better and more fitted around the middle of the bicep. I could go for an L instead of an XL, but then I think that it would be at risk of being too short.
      Also now realised that i've posted that link that it's designed to be "oversized"
  2. Colours
    • Again a limited range, but still a nice strong but subtle shade.
  3. WASHABILITY!
    • Again, yet to wash, but the material is 53% Cotton, 30% Polyester, 17% Elastomultiester. be interesting to see what this Elastomultiester does.
  4. Price
    • £15, perfectly reasonable for a quality t-shirt! Unfortunately I don't think i'll be buying anymore due to the fit and not being a huge lover of the "feel" of the material, but if this wasn't the case, and there were more colours, i'd definitely not grumble at the price!
Will definitely be trying the other type of t-shirt Uniqlo do, found here: https://www.uniqlo.com/uk/en/product/100pct-supima-cotton-crew-neck-t-shirt-452399.html, but will wait until I can get to a store to see them in the flesh and try them one. I shall report back on this journey of a lifetime when more t-shirts arrive :cry:

I like Stance products, their socks and underwear are first class and I have used them for a while. They now do t shirts, I got a couple and the quality is very good, same as their other products - not cheap, but good. They are nice and long, I see a few people asking for a long T shirt, this fits that demand nicely.

Favourite T shirt
 
Uniqlo Airsim (specifically the ones that are cotton and elastine only). Not the oversized ones. They’re the best ones that are mostly a traditional fit but a bit longer.

Hollister do a curved hem type fit which is a bit longer.

I have some gym wear from Gym+Coffee and really like the fit and material of their t shirts. Aimed a bit more at workouts/gym but some of it you could pull off wearing casually. Bit pricey though.

The supima cotton ones are all I buy, definitely worth giving uniqlo a second try
 
Also, a brand I’ve heard recommended a lot is ‘The colourful standard’. I’ve not tried their t shirts, but I did recently try a jumper from that and wasn’t overly bowled over by the quality. But, lots of people seem to say it’s good stuff. Again, bit pricey for what it is IMO.

Yeah the Airism one's aren't ideal. The staple ones are the Supima cotton ones. Did you get any more arrive yet?
 
@sHo0sH

I actually went to the new Uniqlo store at Battersea Power Station and went for the 100% cotton heavyweight crew t-shirts.

I can't remember the exact one I got but the Supima and the others felt very thin, while these are a more traditional cotton tee, which have been through the wash once already and held their shape nicely!
