I just want a good quality (thick fabric), slim fitting, long t-shirt with short sleeves and a proper, deep scoop neck.

The holy grail that is impossible to find.

They either have no sleeves, long sleeves, not a proper scoop, silly cut outs on the back, are too short or have thin fabric.

It's such a flattering style that I don’t understand why it’s so hard to find.

So none of the so far suggested have the combination of low enough scoop, are fitted, have short sleeves, are not floppy at the bottom, don't have an inbuilt bra (ha ha ha, no way a HH tit is fitting in that M&S unless you get XXXXL, in which case it will be huge everywhere else).

So..... Boden is about the closest, and tbf my DD who is 28, has recently bought one and said I should try it.

And most not long enough.

The M&S thermal tops are very much like this

I picked up some from Asda recently. I’m shocked at how thick they are!

I love how this style is "not in fashion"

But we all want it. Why aren't the fashion designers selling us what we want?

They wonder why they have to market so hard to drive sales
It's because they keep trying to tell us what we should wear instead of simply selling us what we want. We'd all pay.

The baukjen one i linked is long.

I think scoops are coming back as beginning to notice them again. So much more flattering…. One I’m looking at is cheap and cheerful but tu tend to was well https://www.argos.co.uk/product/tuc146024195?clickPR=plp:76:285

M&S used to do really good ones with half sleeves (sat just above the elbow) in lots of colours. I've still got about half a dozen of them. I've put weight on so they don't fit me currently but when I cleared out most of the clothes that no longer fit I kept those as I knew I wouldn't be able to replace them. Mounjaro will have me back in them soon.

these ones are quite good. I have a couple of them and they are quite thick material.

Sorry if they have been mentioned, I haven’t read the full thread.

The neck is really high though.
