Where do you buy everyday cotton T-shirts?

I've been looking for aaaaaaaaages for some t-shirts to replace the tired old ill fitting ones I currently own. I just want plain, good quality, cotton, with a little bit of stretch, not too tight but not stupidly baggy as I'd like them to look feminine. Why is this so hard?! Where do you buy yours?

I have two Gap t-shirts that are so old, but I hate to throw them out because they are just the best. Otherwise find Sainsbury's pretty good - and they do do some Fairtrade cotton ones,

Uniqlo supima cotton - wash like rags, look like new two years on eg www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/goods/180691

I like the ones with the 'short' sleeves that go half way down your bicep. I have three, grey, dark green and a sort of purple that are the same colours as a tweed jacket I have. I thought I saw them this summer too. They're about 4 years old. I have other black and navy ones that are older. I usually buy the slightly dearer thicker ones.

Next has plain ones and they're inexpensive. Can be a bit boxy though and you do get what you pay for.

Thanks, Welly. I think I tried some of those on, but thought they needed a bit of elastane to help them hold their shape.

I have only ever been into American Apparel once. Everything looked pixie-sized.

Yeah, American Apparel shops are odd - I well, dp only buy online but good quality cotton and wash well. I normally love Uniqlo but have gone off their t shirts since they started adding elastane to them - makes them all hot and sweaty.

Another for Uniqlo. They wash so well.

I second Jigsaw - pima cotton T-shirts. Well cut and a good range of colours. I thought The White Company's one were great but now I think I should have sized up as they are a close fit.

Hush T-shirts Scatter Star ones are truly gorgeous but on the pricey side.
