Surely this shouldn't be so hard to find?

I want a black and white striped t-shirt - black, with white stripes. I want it to be quite fitted, scoop necked and bum length. This seems to be an absolutely impossible dream. I had an ancient one from M&S but wore it so much that it got holes in it, and have never seen another one.

Any ideas? Real shops please, rather than online only. Thanks in anticipation!

Call off the dogs

I had a similar top from M and S I adored, cotton elastane bum length, like this but taupe and white stripes.

Oh it's viscose Sad

Ooh Long Tall Sally one looks good. And will probably be knee length on me! Grin

BHS one actually looks okay too.

LTS quality is not great though.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 20:19

GS one not black enough (sticks tongue out at Suze). I'll have a look at the LTS one - it doesn't need to be great quality as it's only for slobbing around at weekends in.

Gap?

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 20:23

Gap generally v poor quality nowadays. 'Dark night' - do you think that means navy or black?

Not at all what I was looking for but this is very me

I was wondering about Dark Night too. Now, I've generally thought Gap Ts were poor and thin and horrid gir a few years now , but i picked up a couple in an outlet store last week which were really nice - thick cotton, springy-stretchy, and long ..... And £3!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 16/02/2015 20:32

I will have a look next time I'm in town.

I have a good one from
Zara, it's got a slight dropped hem
At the back, so bum covered.

AwkwardSquad · 16/02/2015 20:47

How about this one? Might need to size down for it to be more fitted Stripy top

BikeRunSki · 16/02/2015 21:26

I love that People Tree one Awkward!

Amethyst24 · 16/02/2015 22:04

BHS basic cotton tops are great, and so cheap.

BallroomWithNoBalls · 16/02/2015 23:24

The long tall Sally one says ivory/black not white if that's an issue?

SelfLoathing · 17/02/2015 00:03

I think New Look have one like this at the moment as it was on display when I walked past.

LeoandBoosmum · 17/02/2015 15:37

Any good (the black and white one, obviously :)?

LeoandBoosmum · 17/02/2015 15:37

Oops, sorry...i's navy, not black.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 17/02/2015 15:39

No good, but thank you.

Gotta be black, and long. I'm going to check out H&M and Long Tall Sally as a starting point.

You could try agnes b if no luck at h&m t shirts

BikeRunSki · 17/02/2015 21:45

house of fraser

burnishedsilver · 18/02/2015 10:53

I saw this on tesco this morning. It's more white with black stripes but it has the scoop neck. It might fill the gap in the short term.

Surely this shouldn't be so hard to find?
Paddingtonthebear · 18/02/2015 14:01

Just seen some in Zara. £12.99

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/02/2015 18:59

Thanks everyone, but none of these are what I want. Most are too short. I also think I was wrong about the scoop neck, as the pic Burnished posted is way too low. Maybe I want a crew neck?

I don't think what I want exists, sadly.
