Help! I can’t find a good fitting t-shirt
Hello! I am new here and am finally taking my search of finding new clothes serious. I have been struggling for years to find shirts and have been rotating through the same old 10 shirts I’ve had for years with holes in the armpits and I’ve finally had enough.
I’ve recently tried multiple different stores for shirts but I’ve been very discouraged and am hoping some of you experts can help me out!
So I am about 6ft tall, 157 (slim tall build) and usually wear a medium shirt. In fact most 100% cotton medium sized shirts in store fit mostly really well. However every item I wash them they shrink just enough (or sometimes too much) that they are then too short and I joke that they are crop tops. However, large shirts are usually not much longer and are quite a bit wider and even when I shrink them have a similar problem in terms of length, except they also look a little big on me (even when intentionally shrinking).
I’ve tried long or tall shirts but I’m just not tall enough for those (they were wayyy too long).
Another small problem I have also noticed is that some shirts have armpits that sit really low on me (not actually in my armpit) which is very uncomfortable and looks bad imo.
I have been very conscious about washing clothes on a delicate, tap cold cycle, with a low spin speed and drying on a delicate cycle with the lowest heat setting because of this reason (as well as not wanting to shrink my other clothes such as flannels, sweaters, pants).
TLDR: I am kind of in between a medium and large shirt and am having a hard time finding shirts that aren’t super short, won’t shrink after first fit, and also actually have the armpit fit in my armpit. I don’t have a long torso or anything but am just kind of tall and slim.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
