Waffle knit thermal recs
Looking for a white long sleeve waffle thermal to wear as a base layer, looking to spend under $25. I’m seeing a lot of poly cotton blends which I typically avoid, not sure if that’s just standard for these. Any particular recs?

I like the one I got from Bronson, pretty sure it is 100% cotton and around that price point. Make sure to check measurements since their sizing is often small, don’t remember if I sized up but I often do with Bronson.
Ah yeah these look like a good bet, seems like the kinda thing Bronson would do well. Thanks!
They mention in the description that these have kinda contrasting collars and cuffs — is that obvious in person or kinda unnoticeable? Seems subtle but potentially like it could drive me crazy

here’s the page for the one I’ve got - I don’t see contrast collars or cuffs in the listing and mine is consistent in color throughout
Bronson Mfg. Co.
Heavyweight Waffle Cotton Underwear - White
Made of 14 oz. heavyweight waffle cotton, flat-lock stitching, make it more durable and comfortable.
If you zoom in you can see the shirt is white but cuffs and collar are like an off white. One of the aliexpress listings acknowledges it, totally possible yours is older and it’s just a change they made. I got a rugby from Bronson once that showed up a little different from the pics, had a cream collar and white placket and the slight contrast was odd.
I do see that now in the listing - if I had to guess, I’d say it’s a function of photography because the fabric is double layered at the collars. I ordered in Feb ‘24 so possible they’ve changed the collars since
just ordered one so guess i'll find out! thanks for the rec
For anyone searching for the same thing in the future: the Bronson shirt is crazy thick, way heavier duty than I was even looking for but it's really nice. I sized up to a L from my usual M which looked right on the size chart, but the arm holes are super tight, so I gotta send it back unfortunately! Might still try an XL
