T-Shirts
-
I recently purchased a two-pack of grey 3sixteen t-shirts from Rivet and Hide, size S. They are really nice and soft, and the post-wash/dry measurements are almost perfect for me.
Many t-shirts are too long for me to wear untucked, but these shrank to the perfect length after I put them in the dryer. I measured them as 26.5" and 27.0" long when new and they shrank to 25.0" and 25.2".

Goodwear USA tees…
Heavy fabric and good stitching… Especially on the 7.2oz pocket tee and indigo waffle tee.
(from left to right) Heavy Indigo died waffle tee, Super heavy 7.2oz pocket tee, Heavy Natural white tank top, Thin sample long sleeved shirt, and 50 cotton/50 bamboo v-neck.
(Got 5 via grab bag $20 http://www.goodwear.com/grab-bag-special/)
Average cotton, but very well made.
Here is a description by Aero leathers:
"Goodwear's trademark heavyweight T is tubular, two-needled, and built to last. Made In USA, these T-shirts are American made at every step along the supply chain, from US-grown cotton to domestic ginning and spinning, to assembly with American truckers transporting their raw materials and finished products
We've conducted our own tests here at Aero, our Goodwear test shirts have had on average 40 washes each, there is no loss of shape, stretching round the neck, Yes Goodwear DO make the World's Best T-Shirts!!! [This last statement is obviously BS IMO, but still judging by the source it’s an impressive endorsement…]
Shrink can range from 3-10% depending on washing and drying time and heat (aeroleather)."Also talked to Goodwear and asked them to make a 7.2oz heavyweight pocket tee with long staple cotton (Supima) and they basically said that it’s going to happen…

That is a great tip man, will be looking into these.

Can't do it Piggy Wig, we're not 'Muricans

A friend needs some tank tops, wifebeater, whatever. American made would be cool, thanks for the help!!!

So now… I've been trying out tons of tees the last year... Search comes to a grinding halt... Got 5 tees through here:

So I finally got some more Goodwear tees. My mate ordered a couple of grabbags and let me cherry pick 'm…
Heavy red speckled tee. Beautiful. Perfect fit. Outstanding.
Some white tees… Heavy w/ elastic cuffs, wifebeater, supersoft standard crewneck...
Grey. Too big, but good for my dad!..
Indigo dipped V-neck tee. Holy cow I'm so stoked on this'un…
Couldn't quite capture the colour… It's a rich, deep forest green... Heavy pocket tee... Excellent!..
BRIGHT supersoft crew tee. Let's liven things up a bit!.. BAM!..
I had high hopes on scoring one of these… I'm Belgian, I like waffles - deal with it.
I have some other ones from another mate, a heavy longsleeve black pocket tee which is already my favourite, and another heavy grey v-neck (also too big)… All in all the grabbags are a once in a lifetime opportunity... I'd gladly pay 30-40 $ for some of these tees...
