    Long t-shirts - any recommendations?

    So then you worldly-wise bunch, I'm not overly tall at 6'0 but where I'm above average height is in my torso, so t-shirts worn as underwear are forever coming untucked.
    Anybody experienced anything similar and found a brand / style to solve my issue? (Available in the UK for non-daft money, even better in multi-pack)
    Johnny.

    Ralph Lauren tend to have a long back to stop it coming untucked.
    Costco often sell them.

    T shirts as underwear? I bought some new pants from Next today if that helps.

    Your welcome.

    I'm 6' 7" tall so this is a problem I've got ... best bet is Hanes Beefy T in normal fittings, or if you want really long then they do tall sizes too (Amazon or Ebay are you're best bet - last lot I had from Amazon came from a US seller and arrived at £11 each including postage and duty etc).

    If the Beefy is a little too ... errr .... beefy ... then Hanes do specific under shirt Ts that are in a lighter fabric, with those they do tend to come up a little shorter than the Beefy so I always get the tall fittings shipped in from the US.

    Apart from that, Lands End do tall fittings on Ts but they're 20 odd notes each which seems a little steep.

    'T shirt' as underwear?

    Surely not?

    What you need are some proper string vests, ideally with matching Y fronts

    Warm, hygienic and smart

    Thanks for all the suggestions folks (well, most of them!)
    Will certainly checkout the Hanes Beefy Tees.

    Hanes is a very good call
    It's just a matter of time...

    Asket (a Swedish company) sells their T-shirt in five sizes and three different lengths. Quite nice as well. https://www.asket.com/

    Ah, is their mens website https://www.badrhino.com perhaps?
    It seems you redirect there and they have a tall section.
