Decent quality t-shirts?

[cyrusir]

anyone recommend tees with a good tight collar that doesnt sag, so if you are wearing it underneath a sweatshirt or similar itll stay in the same spot.

[craig1912]

Ordered and received a couple of white Uniqlo supina t-shirts and to be honest I'm a little underwhelmed so far. Not yet been through the wash but first impressions are they are rather thin and a little on the 'off white' side. Here's hoping they'll hold their shape and prove good in the longer term.

Should have gone for the thicker ones

Uniqlo have definitely reduced in quality. I have some black supina which are probably five years old and still OK. Some more recently purchased ones are already in the bin.
The Rapanui ones are better.

[g40steve]

The Rapanui arrived good selection of colours & fit is fine as L.

The U fit however is a bit odd and not one I like. Sometimes you can also have too thick and lacks breathability. But I mentioned above, in general Uniqlo's t-shirt quality is definitely down.

[TaketheCannoli]

Not impressed. Shapeless and a horrible neckline. Returned.

Used to always buy Uniqlo but as above these are better and cheaper

Thanks for the tip, just ordered a five pack.

I agree. Need to return them, just haven’t done it yet

Can't beat the JP Supirma ones

1. Analyze the value of your product and the market's willingness to pay for it. You should determine the highest possible price that customers are willing to pay for your product.

2. Consider your competitors and their pricing strategies. Your pricing strategy should take into account what competitors are offering, so that your product stands out in the market.

3. Estimate the cost of development and marketing of your product. Taking into account the cost of production and marketing, decide if a price skimming strategy is the right option for you.

4. Examine the product lifecycle. Price skimming is most effective when the product is in the introductory stages of its life cycle.

5. Consider customer loyalty. If your customers are not loyal to your brand, then price skimming may not be a viable option.

Overall, price skimming can be a great way to quickly recover costs and maximize profits, but it is important to consider all of these factors before deciding if it is the right approach for your business. More details are to be found in the blog by Priceva.

Really helpful. Thanks a lot!
Uniqlo and Nike are the best T-shirt vendors, my humble opinion.

[hughtrimble]

my experience of Rapanui was that the neck seemed to stretch and sag after a few washes.
I bought white ones from Spoke and they were good - but pricey.

One of my kids suggested Tommy Hilfiger (there were some big discounts at Bicester village), and these have worn and washed well and were quite cheap too. Thicker than the Spoke ones, but really soft and comfortable. subtle logo stitched onto chest that is barely visible (I can't stand having a brand plastered across my chest)

Much appreciated

For £7 there’s nothing wrong with them?

The packaging alone on some of my T shirts must cost more than these?

Ideal for layers, daytime pool shirt, BBQ, jet washing the motors etc

I agree, much better than the Uniqlo ones

[jukeboxs]

Wow, people have different opinions - who'd have thunk it?! [My order arrived earlier, I'll try one later.]

[mactrack]

anyone recommend tees with a good tight collar that doesnt sag, so if you are wearing it underneath a sweatshirt or similar itll stay in the same spot.

This thread reminded me that I needed some more for exactly the same use. My current ones were Dickies and I do buy a size smaller to get the snug collar and they have remained so after numerous wearings and washes. I bought a three pack but these were described as being Dickies "Whittington" tee shirts which turned out to be the thinnest ones I've ever seen. Literally half the weight of my previous ones. The sizing seemed big too so the collar wasn't as snug even with a size smaller than normal. Can't be bothered to return them though.

I ordered 3, nowt wrong with the neckline on mine and seem OK for the price. Haven't washed them yet so may yet be disappointed.

[Wolfie]

I'd recommend Armor Lux Callac T-Shirts which I have a few of and IMO are great quality. These are pretty much all I wear over the summer for going out. I buy from here when they're in the sale.

I went for this recommendation and they’re spot on….

I also have 3 lots of these…. They’re extremely good too

Raipanui = very disappointing!

Back to Uniqlo.

[jukeboxs]

As above, Rapanui very disappointing. Significant shrinkage (mostly length) after 1 wash (I followed their washing instructions). I have contacted them, they are covering returns postage, and they will "sort it for me" - I assume a refund.

[Rob s]

I also tried the Rapanui. I didn't get as far as washing as I ordered white and they were too thin/see through for me so they went straight back.

I ordered some white GILDAN Mens Hammer Heavyweight T-Shirts on Amazon and for the price have been really impressed.

[Middo]

I love sunspel classic Ts £80 is a bit strong though.

I was a fan of reiss, however they have gone downhill.

Form & thread make nice t shirts, the fit doesn’t’t suit me though.

[jwg663]

Looking online, they're of a tubular construction & don't have side-seams. They'll twist and/or go baggy in short order.

Just received one of these on sale from John Lewis, must say really very nice, heavy weight cotton, nice tight neckline and not too long, I will be buying more.

I’ve got a few Sunspel t shirts and I find them a bit disappointing - especially when you consider the price. Nice material but the fit isn’t great and the ribbing around the neck is excessively stiff.

Polos are good though.

[kultschar]

Sunspel for me. I grab them in sale or new off fleabay

[guli]

Sunspel. I always buy a size up though

For wearing as an underlayer, these t-shirts from Muji are fantastic. Great collar and they wash really well.

They come in white, black and grey and go down to half price in the sales.

Find their sizing odd. Have both M and L (polos and T’s) but hardly any difference between them.

I had a look at their website once and laughed out loud.

This looks like a good tip, many thanks!

They have survived a few washes so far but at £5 delivered each I'm sure they won't be the best but compared to other cheap T-shirts I've been impressed. Maybe I'll check back in after 10-20 washes.
Personal favourites have been from Asket but at £35 + postage it's a big step up in price.

If you’re on the cusp go up rather than down as they’re reasonably fitted.

[Halitosis]

My Uniqlo Supina try-outs are are soft and comfortable, but 4 or 5 washes in they're starting to twist in the body, which adds to the previously mentioned disappointment on thinness - though I did buy white.
Never heard of Sunspel before, and at their price point I seriously doubt I'll ever be trying them.
Muji look like being my next purchase - thanks LTF

[wileeeeeey]

Amex offers currently available for CT and H&C.

CT: Spend £100 or more and get £20 back
H&C: Spend £150 or more and get 20% back

[deano42]

I had a similar thought and wanted some good quality t-shirts without paying stupid money. Also wanted white ones that weren't see through.
Got a few different brands and I though Asket were the best.

Good fit, thicker quality feel, no branding which I liked.

Asket all the way, just check out their sustainability also. Its not just t-shirts either.

Thanks

[Middo]

Asket make some nice stuff, sizing is a bit tricky so bear that in mind.

I like their shirts too and might have a go at a pair of jeans too.

Discount for blue light / DD holders too.

Has anyone tried the Crew Clothing Polo shirts recently?

My wife has a lot of their older polos and 'rugby top' style jumpers and they seem like decent quality stuff.

Their classic mens polos are £30 each which although not 'cheap', is reasonable if they don't look like a stretched dishrag after a couple of washes - which is what all of the other polos I have tried lately seem to do.

[Bonzodog]

I’ve got six crew polo shirts,they wash with no issues so far.

[wileeeeeey]

I’ve got two crew T-shirts but not in ideal colours as they were £3.50 or £3.75 from JL on sale.

God quality and fit, would go in for more. No idea on the old stuff and any differences.

[jwg663]

Re Crew Clothing -

Loads available in TK Maxx.

Also usually loads available here -

It's not a brand I buy so really can't comment on quality etc..

[Maysie]

Lovely, thank you.
That will do for me.

Ordered x6 for the summer. Fingers crossed they will not end up as dusters after a couple of washes!

They last for years.

Used to wear loads of crew polos. Their sizing between styles / seasons is all over the place and line you are shopping between brands.

Length and pit sizes have changed so much as to be a joke. I don’t bother with them now which is a shame as the quality was spot on. May have come back to some form of normality in recent years but just got fed up returning more than I kept.

[langdalematt]

CP Company T’s are great!!

Just got three for beach wear. Seem decent quality and definitely better than Uniqlo and Rapanui.

They are OK but expensive for man made fabric.

Have a look at ISOBAA merino T-shirts. Excellent quality and available for around £30 from Sports Pursuit.

[A440]

I like the Kustom Kit T-shirts you can buy on Amazon. They last well and keep their shape. Around £15 a pop. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AW9F2VG/

[jimyu]

What’s with all the dad bod type T-shirts all over Facebook…anyone tried any?

[Boss13]

I usually buy from Next. But they are not a tight collar which I prefer and for some reason only the black last a long time. Other colours seem to bobble.

Will follow up some of the recommendations above.

May give Uniqlo a go or JLP. Although JLP may be a bit too high end for me!

My Polo shirts are mainly Crew and I like the quality
TK Max have some in at £21.99 🙂 just bought a couple last week.

My new finds are M&S supima cotton. Great for £20. https://www.marksandspencer.com/slim...E&gclsrc=aw.ds

We used to supply the Uneek brand to our staff. They were worked hard (shirts, not the staff!) and survived well. Depends if you want fashion or wearability. The brand come in several "weights",( eg. We supplied 200 gsm)

https://www.totalworkwear.co.uk/t-sh...irt-uc302.html

so can be varied for summer and winter use.

Shipping rates are reasonable:-

They also do logos etc.
