T-Shirts

[hectic]

I've just bought both a XL and a XXL from Sunspel - will report back on size suitability for big people.

I see on Self Edge that Flat Head do what looks like a nice plain T shirt, big money though.
Mind you, if you read the info you can see why.

@nameness:

What's the thickness like on those Sunspel tees?  The problem that I have with most white tees is that they end up being see through on me because of darker skin…

nameness, I picked up a couple of Sunspel, they are pretty thin, so I expect they will be a bit "see thru" for you.

[hectic]

N.B.: @ Tripleterror, I think you should go for an L if you are interested in the Sunspel.

[nameness]

Thanks for the info, hectic.

hanes and champion does good plain shirt, or try janpanese brand like flat head or full count Zimbabwe cotton

I can recommend Garbstore

They also sell Velva Sheen listed on this thread previously

Sunspel are fantastic quality but not for heavy duty wear . . . the cotton is too fine

Velva sheen are 100% legit..thanks for posting the link

J. Peterman has their shirts for sale. Made in China but heavy as fuck. They run big though, size down 1.

I try to avoid everything made in China..maybe because I grew up under communist / socialist regime.

[Seul]

I try to avoid it as well, but for ~5 € per shirt it's not a bad deal… Plus you get a free Beatle...

[Beatle]

…maybe it's there way of sending out viruses..pop in an infected bug...only joking. But seriously - I am pretty set on not buying anything that was made in China, regardless of how right the price might be

[Seul]

Their description is so annoyingly deceiving btw… And nowhere does it say it's "imported" as it does with the other items miC... Anyway: they have some cool stuff but I'll probs only buy it 2ndhand in the future... Too bad...

What is this? It looks old.

Well, it's a vintage T-shirt. It's new, but looks old.

It's new but looks old?

Well, it seems new, but looks old.

Seems? You mean it really is old?

Well, you know when you're out buying a couple of steaks and maybe some antifreeze and you decide on a pack of T-shirts at the same time?

You mean it's like that?

Well, it's like that…but different.

Different?

A lot different.

(Adding to the mystery, the original historic labels were accidentally removed and replaced by our own. Sorry.)

Vintage T-Shirts, for men and women, with short or long sleeves and chest pocket (always handy). Noticeably more substantial cotton than you normally find in T-shirts these days, pigment-dyed to achieve the effect of great age. Although newborn, they start out looking good (and old). And stay that way. And they don't disintegrate just at the point they're starting to get good.
