T shirts. Why are they crap?

[Hullygully]

I need plain v neck t shirts, preferably longer length. I can't find any that aren't total crap, really thin, odd shapes. Anyone any idea where I could find some?

I can be of no help as I am to looking for t-shirts also. I only have 3 so am quite desperate hot them. I don't want long ones tho just normal length as I am 5ft 3 with a shorter than average torso so fine long line are knee lengthy. The ones I have bought previously seem to go a bit twisted in the wash then when I iron them the seams don't line up.

Isn't it odd? Why are t shirts so hard?

Banana Republic’s Pima cotton t-shirts are excellent but now only online of course and also scaled back from a range of colours to just black and white

ASOS t-shirts are okay, I have the crew neck ones that come in a pack of two. I'm short and the length is good for wearing with jeans or tucking into a skirt.

Lands' End T shirts are well made and keep in shape. The men's certainly have V neck. My daughter wears some men's stuff from there, jumpers and tops.

Jumpers to I have zero at present as every where I look they are all glittery, full of stars or Christmas prints and I actually need some as I do feel thd cold. As you can probably tell I am not one for shopping.

Previous threads in the subject have recommended Gap T-shirts or M&S Supima - from what I can remember.

back, you sound very similar to me.

Nasty shopping.

Nasty t shirts and jumpers.

Thanks for the lands end tip, ill look at them.

I was going to say Lands End too. I know they're not considered remotely stylish, but for plain coloured basics, I find them unbeatable - the quality is excellent, they wash well and they don't twist.

I love Muji organic t shirts and COS are pretty good.

I like Toast but. sadly far too expensive -the shopping costs who where I live is $US 30. Most companies shipping from UK to here is 10 pounds.

I got some v neck ones from long tall sally that are washing and wearing well

Lands End, Eddie Bauer, LL Bean, or Banana Republic

Uniqlo are excellent for plain t-shirts, wash well and have never had one from there that twists.
Long sleeves are long, body length good too.

Oasis are good

The uniqlo compact cotton t shirts are good.

I have a few Primark men’s t-shirts (crew and v neck) that are 100% cotton, decent length sleeves and wash well. I am a 14 and buy a small, but they also do a slim/muscle fit which I would probably take a medium in, so if you’re smaller than me, that’s still an option. I bought out of sheer frustration at the lack of decent women’s basic t-shirts.

For the “posher” option, I’ve had success with Cos t-shirts, but I buy the interesting/patterned ones, whereas the Primark ones are plain and basic.

I’ve had some really good ones from Long Tall Sally too. Don’t twist, decent weight fabric.

A Gap t-shirt was the worst I ever bought. It was so thin, it only lasted a couple of wears and washes. It's not as though it was really cheap.

Depends on your size but "Yours" are great

Oasis are good. Tend to keep their shape and last for years!

Thanks for suggestions, Ill have a look

Stay away from Whistles. They look good for the first couple of wears but shrink terribly. I am super anal careful about laundry, always wash T shirts as delicates, never tumble dry but all my Whistles Ts are now doll-sized

M&S are surprisingly good,

You just have to find them amongst the crap.
The ones I’ve bought are good quality, quite thick and have kept their shape when washed.

H and M are. Good. Boden is absolutely terrible.
