      A note about Lady White standard Tee fit vs Merz 215

      I washed these yesterday and they’re line drying. The lady white is a medium and the Merz is a size 6(L). Both have been washed several times.

      The Merz is about an inch longer. But it is tighter in the shoulders, chest and stomach. It’s also a bit more heavy. I prefer it as a warm undershirt. The Lady White is much more comfortable and flattering in a jeans and tee shirt kind of way and has a more airy feel.

        Not a two pack, except no man walks alone sells a 3 pack but + 1 for merz. I own about 10 of their 1950s tees in white. I buy one size up cause I found they did shrink over time. They are all in various shapes. Yard work tees, undershirts and used as only shirts. I’m in one almost every day. 1950s are lightweight from my view. Great for underneath and the summer heat

          3sixteen Pima are great for hot weather. If you want something mid weight the samurai tees are great, their cotton is next level soft

            Although not a two-pack, they’re still somewhat affordable. I also have a couple in black and sky blue. Other than those and OrSlow pocket tees, I don’t wear a lot of T-shirts, but those two brands fit well and are relatively lightweight.

              Whitesvilles are good and have a softhand feel. But its a thicker than what i am used to. I havent had bad shrinkage experiences others talk about with the tshirt though, but i cold wash most clothes etc. I think its good value if you get it cheaper at like bears tokyo etc

                I have 6 whitesville and 6 samurai, 2 packs grey/white/black of each. The whitesville are short and more boxy, but great for high rise denim. The samurai are longer and slimmer but have very short sleeves. I dig both styles. I also like House of Blanks for an N.A. option.

                  Whitesville tees for me are good bit short in the body so I think I’d size up next time
                  Also like the utilitees ones same thickness fit etc it seems

                    Merz B, Wonder Looper and Utilitee are my personal favorites but if we are talking a simple white undershirt, Kirkland 6 pack is my go to alllll day

                      Not a two pack, but I’m a fan of Ship John’s t shirts. They’re comfy, soft and light but hold up to abuse. I’m very picky on fit of a tshirt too. They’re not too tight on the arms and not too short on the waist. FWIW they’re perfect.

                        I was disappointed with Whitesville tees because they are too short after washing for my taste. However, the 3Sixteen Pima Tees have held up well with repeated wear and offer a more athletic fit.

                        No man ever steps in the same denim twice, for it's not the same denim and he's not the same man.

                          I was also disappointed by whitesville. They have great initial comfort, but not the longevity. I’ve tried a few times, but not for me.

                          The Red Tornado ones I got from AliExpress are my most worn T006 I think.

                          For comfort and fit the best I’ve ever owned is RRL. They seem to last for me, and when whitesville is £99 (UK prices) for two and RRL is £120 for two it’s not miles off.

                          Whitesville at £35 in Japan is different maths.

                          Broken old houses, boring Scottish whisky, weird Japanese denim, all French wine, sad American music, wool socks in summer.

                              I was going to try Whitesville but now think I’ll avoid. For heavier T’s I like Wonderlooper and UES but for everyday regular variety I gravitate towards Uniqlo Supima. Way better than they have any business being at that price.

                                Love my samurai 2 pack after couple years wear. They are clearly undershirts to me though I don’t wear them solo. Super comfy. Not the tightest collar if you care about that. Pretty taut but if you have something heavy that will pull on it, it’s not totally locked in.

                                  velva-sheen are fantastic! loopwheel, though not heavy weight.

                                    Worth saying that if you're wearing them as undershirts only, it's worth a look at Kirkland's 6 packs. Reasonable quality, a good neck and incredibly cheap (£20 odd for 6)

                                      @Daysleepers 99 pounds? Thats crazy. Yeah like you said i got mine for like $62AUD for the two pack. I wouldnt say its worth the 99 pounds. I also saw the UES Ramayana restock recently but its a touch expensive for a tshirt 😞

                                        @cyclops blame The Bear! £99 RRP in the UK. They’re kinda cool shirts, but not £50 tees.

                                          @NickD Ditto this. They are 7.5oz according to Thomas.

                                          Not available in two pack, but as an alternative the RMC "Gussett tees" are just fantasic. Probably my favourite tee (close second is the IH 1600).

                                            Nice too see differing opinions! I've never been able to get on with Merz. Migrated from regular IH 6.5oz tees to Utilitees pretty much solely these days.

                                            The devil is in the detail..
