With the increasing rate of pillaging past decades for trends, we've seen the resurgence of 90's fashion, early 2000's fashion, and now whispers of the dreaded slim fit returning, all in the matter of several years. We will soon reach a stylistic singularity, during which the recycling cannibalism of past trends dictating current trends will accelerate exponentially. We will quickly be condensed into a black hole of aesthetics... unescapable, dense, impossible to comprehend. The only solution to "keeping up with the times" will be to replace normal clothes with reflective surfaces, such that ones appearance is simply a reflection of ones surroundings. Time, space, and sense of self will lose meaning until the true essence of style will reveal itself as .... "the high quality, flattering, timeless white T"
my review of gildan white Ts for the substack:
awesome tees. great size. look thick. solid. tight
I like the Kirkland ones as a base layer under a collared shirt. They’re reasonably thick and are long enough to be easily tucked in

i like the uniqlo U tees for a thick tee but they're sortve too long for me i think
teamster tees on heddels shop are an interesting option ($25 each)
À European version of this thread could be helpful, at least for me
I got a 2-pack of velva sheen to use as undershirts last year that;s holding up better than any other tees I've ever had. I'll probably get a 2 pack of lady white once some of my others get retired to compare.
For non-undershirt use my favourite in terms of fit is definitely the Paa Tee Two.

Reigning champ is my go to
Low price: Kirkland, Uniqlo U, Hanes
Medium: Teamster tee, Whitesville, Reigning Champ, 3Sixteen, Imogene & Willie, Velva Sheen
High price: Addict Japan pocket tee, Real McCoys loopwheel tee, Mister Freedom
Reigning Champ. Very consistent, good sizing options (slim, classic, regular) light/medium weight. Great crisp fabrics & construction.
I occasionally try more exotic options, but always find myself going back to RC.
