Excellent purchase, Jordon .. congrats!
3sixteen dyed Pocket T edition - purple, charcoal & olive ..
Those look lovely! The slightly odd collars (look somewhat inside out) work well in these colours as opposed to plain white.
I just looked them up and they seem to be out of stock, not that it matters anyway… holy sh*t they're tiny!! The 2XL is considerably too small for me, which has a LOT more to do with their sizing than my torso.
yeah although the fabric on these T's are great the sizing is wonky, much different than their standard fabric T's. I tried two different sizes on these, the XL which was much shorter and smaller all around than their standard fabric XL's, and then XXL which fit up in the chest and shoulders but had an extremely boxy fit around the torso and was still fairly short in the length. Unfortunately I gave up on them as the sizing just does not work on these.

So I decided to try a company I have looked at many times, I saw they had 100% supima cotton shirts and grabbed one. Fit is spot on and the fabric is great. Def going to buy a few more, a great deal -
Is this supposed to be a riddle?

A riddle?
-
What brand is the shirt?
-
Oh sorry….Uniqlo. always interest in their stuff, but knowing it's cheap compared to everything else I have, was worried.

Anyone tried Velva Sheen in recent times? Wondering if they are worth the spin.. but unsure of sizing, shrinkage and all that!

Velva Sheen sizing is a bit baggy in my experience, fit well on the shoulders but very long and wide.. found this with the pocket t and plain t in size S.. haven't noticed any shrinkage but never washed higher than 30.

So I am one of the lucky few who sweats a lot. I normally wear 100% cotton shirts all year round. I hate synthetic shirts and I normally wear 100% Merino wool base layers in spring, fall and winter for warmth. So after some research I found two shirts, the duckworth vapor shirt and trew weightless Merino tees. Both came in today and man I am glad I found them, especially the trew.
The trew is either 100 or 110 weight, 85% Merino and 15%polymer, synthetic, whatever. It is a perfect fit, super comfy, almsot feels like I am wearing nothing and I got to sweating a good bit tonight and it performs as promised. Wicks the sweat really fast, barley saw any wet spots on the shirt and like Merino wool does so well, pits weren't wiffy. HIGHLY recommend this shirt for hot summers. I forget where I got it, but got it at 10% off the reg $65. I prob will order one more but sadly they only have 3 colors and I only like one.
The duckworth I tried on real quick and it is only slightly less comfy, that's all I can say about it, besides made in America! Like all their pieces.
I would think they should hold up well with normal wear as I had a pair of 100% Merino, medium weight long johns I wore for almsot 2 years straight, under IH denim till the crotch blew.
-
Seeing how I walked by it…threw the duckworth on. It's hard to tell what feels lighter or more breathable, but I would say the Trew is slightly more so. Sadly I couldn't find a crew neck in a color and size I wanted but found a vneck. Comfy and great fitting shirt. This shirt is 38% ramboullet merino, 50% recycled polyester and 12% modal.

@Jordonf9 thanks again for another great suggestion. You're two for two with me tonight, first the deodorant suggestion in the grooming thread and now these T's. I'll look in to these as well.
You should give Pistol Lake a try. They make a really nice T-shirt made from Eudae which is a combination of Eucalyptus and Polyester. Great for wicking sweat, very breathable, very light, very comfortable and anti-microbial. Pistol Lake actually makes some nice gear for what it is…..it's geared for working out but a lot of their stuff can easily be worn for going out as well. Nice athletic fits to their products. I highly recommend their long sleeve henleys, I think I have about 7 or 8 of them.

Thanks @manufc10 Just checked them out and ordered one minimalist tee. See how they are compared to the Merino wool shirts. Sizing looks good and the fabric promising.

Got my pistol lake order in Monday, except it was a LS Henley, not my tee. I didn't try it on even. Based on feel alone, seems to drape more then my Merino shirts, but might be as breathable. It is slightly heavier at 150 I believe, compared to my 130 and 110 weights.
So I contacted them, Andrew replied with outstanding customer service and pretty darn quick. He apologized, sent me a USPS return label and got my shirt out today via next day USPS. That is def going above what is needed. I know overnight isnl cheaper for businesses with contracts(I would guess), but still costs a bit I suppose compared to priority(2 day USPS).
I was going to just return the shirt and get a refund, but after the service, I couldn't. Plus gave me a $15 card for any future purchases! Stellar!
Also told them they should look into lighter weight shirt :p

Do you know if it is a heavyweight Henley or the regular henley's? The regular henley's are thin as they are geared as more of an athletic wear item. I will work out in mine in the Phoenix "winters". Love the way they fit and drape on me though. The heavyweight Henley is very nice as well.
Their customer service is great, I second that.

I just took delivery of this indigo slub tee from US Blanks. Really dig the texture on this one and should fade nicely. Kinda spendy but nice all the same. Haven't tried it on yet – I went with a size large.
-
I think some of you would like the indigo slub tee from US blanks. It's US made and the dye has a cool uneven look about it that makes it stand out. The sleeves are shorter than I like but overall I like the fit/look and it pairs well with denim. I have no idea if this sucker will bleed in the wash or if it'll get more shrinkage. My plan is to do a cold wash and hang dry when the time comes.

Just ordered another pack of the plain Real McCoy's tees. I have them in black and it's one of my favourite fits.
